Garbage at The Star Sydney
Photo stolen from the friend I took along

I am so so SO happy that I went to see Garbage earlier this year at The Star (casino, Sydney) and didn’t spend the money on a tank of petrol or a pair of shoes. The energy I get from a live gig, and especially from a band that have provided a soundtrack to the last 15 years of my life?

Freakin’ priceless.

An awesome setlist, with all our favourites, and a few from the new album in amongst it.

With stories interspersed with Shirley Manson’s gorgeous Scottish accent telling us stories and keeping us enthralled. (While sipping Glenfiddich!)

The trick IS to keep breathing.

Sources of Energy

Still working off the energy from last night’s Garbage gig. And from my afternoon therapy sessions. Struggling with some things, more practical questions of “what’s the best decision to make re x” but we’ll get there.

When the World Ends

February 24, 2013 · 1 comment

It hasn’t yet ended.

We keep on fighting, loving, remembering, planning.

When the world ends
Collect your things
You’re coming with me
When the world ends
You tuckle up yourself with me
Watch it as the stars disappear to nothing
The day the world is over
We’ll be lying in bed

I’m gonna rock you like a baby when the cities fall
We will rise as the building’s crumble
Float there and watch it all
Amidst the burning, we’ll be churning
You know, love will be our wings
The passion rises up from the ashes
When the world ends

When the world ends
You’re gonna come with me
We’re going to be crazy
Like a river bends
We’re going to float
Through the criss cross of the mountains
Watch them fade to nothing
When the world ends
You know that’s what’s happening now
I’m going to be there with you somehow, oh…

I’m going to tie you up like a baby in a carriage car
Your legs won’t work cause you want me so
You just lie spread to the wall
The love you got is surely
All the love that I would ever need
I’m going to take you by my side
And love you tall, ‘til the world ends

Oh, but don’t you worry about a thing
No, ’cause I got you here with me
Don’t you worry about a
Just you and me
Floating through the empty, empty
Just you and me
Oh, graces
Oh, grace

Oh, when the world ends
We’ll be burning one
When the world ends
We’ll be sweet makin love
Oh, you know when the world ends
I’m going to take you aside and say
Let’s watch it fade away, fade away
And the world’s done
Ours just begun
It’s done
Ours just begun

We’re gonna dive into the emptiness
We’ll be swimming
I’m going to walk you through the pathless roads
I’m going to take you to the top of the mountain that’s no longer there
I’m going to take you to bed and love you, I swear
Like the end is here

I’m going to take you up to
I’m going to take you down on you
I’m going to hold you like an angel, angel

I’m going to love you
I’m going to love you
When the world ends
I’m going to hold you
When the world is over
We’ll just be beginning…

Dreams

Do you ever dream too real? Wonder if you’ve actually had that conversation? Taken that action? Lived that moment?

Decreased Attachment

February 4, 2013

I’m pretty sure that one of my ways of coping with change or let downs, is to not get too attached or invested in something in the first place. It doesn’t always work that way, of course, but a level of indifference can help block some short-term pain, even if you lose out on things [...]

Adding a little sparkle

January 31, 2013

Jealous of the seven year old who came to school today with a Hello Kitty Backpack, drink bottle AND shoes. (also hoping I didn’t put her onto this obsession.) A little bit of stick on sparkle. From Woolies. Nice. Music tomorrow night. And next Friday. Good for the soul.

I am exactly the person that I want to be

November 14, 2012

In my mind In a future five years from now I’m one hundred and twenty pounds And I never get hung over Because I will be the picture of discipline Never minding what state I’m in And I will be someone I admire And it’s funny how I imagined That I would be that person [...]
