jones is a goddess.

Sunrise, sunrise
Looks like morning in your eyes
But the clock's held 9:15 for hours

Sunrise, sunrise
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
'Cause the afternoon's already come and gone

Surprise, surprise
Couldn't find it in your eyes
But I'm sure it's written all over my face

Surprise, surprise
Never something I could hide
When I see we made it through another day

And now the night
Will throw its cover down
mmmmm, on me again
Ooooh, and if I'm right
It's the only way to bring me back

sitting in an airplane packed with people to the rivets is no fun, no fun at all. the only thing that could make it worse is 3 babies who seem to bawl like it was the only way their puny lungs could get any air. one particular father was tryin to appease the crowd sitting around him by apologising with an american accent, with all his grammar and tenses wrong. the horror. i think there is something human about changing the way you talk when you're around different groups of people. in fact i think its perfectly natural but slanging ON TOP OF wrong sentence structure is pathetic. i wasn't the only one cringing.


i love new york. i find the streets amazing, how they grid around huge skyscraping buildings. in the evening, my dad and i were walking down the streets facing west and i could see the the sun setting. it was magnificent. the sunrays bouncing off the glass of the buildings and illuminating the whole street with a nice orange glow. the horizon was pink and my dad said that if you walk far enough, you could see the sea. well, manhattan is an island.

times square is like vegas (though i've not been there). big bright blinking lights. j likes lights. the billboards in times square are huge. i think there was one bmw ad covering the whole entire side of a building, 60 storeys high. i like the way they have huge tv screens (like the one at lido) just lots bigger. one building had these tv strips set in zebra crossing. its nice when its dark, cos the light just plays on the road, trees and cars. a film of light and shadows.

i'd like to live there someday, but only for awhile.
