the video is of kyte playing 'secular ventures'... one of my favourite songs on their album 'kyte' (i say one of my favourites, but in reality i kind of like them all so i see no point in typing that last sentence)... (hmm... i think the video is best watched here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbyW19_FW_U simply because there is the high quality setting that makes it less pixelated... thats my opinion anyway :-p)
apart from seing kyte play live again i also got a visit from my cousins, met up to have dinner with mina, finally saw what 'alf' (the kooky german alien) looked like... and then to top it all off, it snowed...
that made me happy... usually the little things in life do...
(actually it was also quite funny because inside the theatre it was fooking hot!!! and all through the performance all i was thinking was 'i wish it would snow...' and then it did... so that also amused me in my own little timmy-haruhi-universe sort of way... ignore me...)
ahem... there should be movies and photos from the anime expo that i went to in the morning BUT... being clever as i am, i formatted the memory stick before actually copying the material on my laptop... i have no idea what i was thinking when i did it...
yes... this is proof that i am an idiot...
the video i put on here is the song '3055'... which is one of my favourite songs by olafur arnalds on his album 'eulogy for evolution'...
hmm... i keep saying in my entries that i will write stuff up at a later date and say its because i am lazy... but really, honestly and truthfully... its because some things are best left to be said months/years later...
trust me on this...
when you write about something that has happened years later by your future self, it no longer becomes 'gossip to the prying ears and eyes (no names mentioned... ahem)', but has been transformed as a 'wonderful if not far-fecthed story' that ppl will come question if it is the 'truth' or just some made up exaggeration...
that's the beauty of leaving things to mature for a while... you never know the outcome or the response you will get :-p
on a side note i just saw this movie:
if you have time please watch it!!! its a beautifully animated story about the effects of time travel and about love...
this is a complete spoiler for anyone that hasn't seen the movie, but the reason for chiaki to leap back in time, was to see a particular painting that was painted in a period of war and turmoil... the painting portrayed the message that even in disaster beautiful things can still be created... what i learnt and found touching about that moment was that as humans, sometimes we just do things without a reason, simply because its something that we want to do...
watching that movie was a reminder to myself about my painting that i kind of put on the shelf for far too long now... i guess i know how chiaki felt because he wanted to see that painting, in the same way that i want to paint my painting...
i know... completely strange analogy but hej... everyone will draw different things from that movie :-p
"a strangers' prejudged perception of me will not affect my life in any great way, for i am already aware of and have acknowledged my capabilities; therefore, i see no need to prove or to explain myself in order to establish recognition in others eyes; as changing to please everyone is an exhausting task, whereby the only gain is the 'loss of my true identity'; for the action of self-fulfilment is a personal journey that is taken at one's own pace, it is a process that can not and should not be rushed, as this could diminish the quality and purpose of understanding the importance of who and what you are to yourself..."
