I was house-sitting this week, looking after two cats:




I also played a game of monopoly, high-tech style. It doesn't have fake money - it has fake credit cards! Amazing.


The place was right by my favourite park, I went for a couple of walks. Yesterday I got a really bad tank-top tan in the 30 degree heat. I know, I'm insane but i wanted to take advantage of the scenery.





Hmm a few other things happened this week. One was the vietnamese festival. Who likes this T-shirt I spotted? Oh and the Kamikaze ride I braved?


Let me leave you tonight, with a clip of a song I'm obsessed with atm:

I just finished reading Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice.



This is an excerpt of my favourite passage:

"'And how is this evil achieved?' he asked. 'How does one fall from grace and become in one instant as evil as the mob tribunal of the Revolution or the most cruel of the Roman emperors? Does one merely have to miss Mass on Sunday, or bite downon the Communion Host? Or steal a loaf of bread... or sleep with a neighbor's wife?'
"'No. ...' I shook my head. 'No.'
"'But if evil is without gradation, and it does exist, this state of evil, then only one sin is needed. Isn't that what you are saying? That God exists and. ...'
"'I don't know if God exists,' I said. 'And for all I do know... He doesn't exist.'
"'Then no sin matters,' he said. 'No sin achieves evil.'
"'That's not true. Because if God doesn't exist we are the creature of highest consciousness in the universe. We alone understand the passage of time and the value of every minute of human life. And what constitutes evil, real evil, is the taking of human life. Whether a man would have died tomorrow or the day after or eventually... it doesn't matter. Because if God does not exist, this life... every second of it... is all we have.

The line 'fall from grace' has got me remembering that song... Boys Like Girls - Holiday.
