some things I paid attention to since the last post.

1. It is seemingly impossible for me to study. I can teach myself what I don't know, but once I've learned it once, I won't review it with any seriousness for any examination.
   
   
2. Most people refuse to admit when they've screwed up, even if they know they have, unless they're probably on trial.
   
   
3. Those who we expect more from often fail to deliver and they are ignorant as to why more is expected of them.
   
   
4. KFC is a funny place at the end of the day, when workers are winding down their frustratingly long and monotonous shifts. I, however, would not like to be part of the joke.
   
   
5. nVidia is MUCH better than ATI. ATI, clearly, stinketh.
   
   
6. I love Regina Spektor's music now, in addition to my already present love for Belle & Sebastian, Jack Johnson, Wilco, Badly Drawn Boy, Beck, The Cardigans, and a host of other bands. I do not particularly care for the Arcade Fire, at the moment.
   
   
7. "I'll walk to the station... walk to the station... walk to the station... Won't you follow me now?" is a really lovely, hopeful line.
   
   
8. Being too concerned with everything that people say about you isn't cool. Often you'll make something out of nothing. While that generally is a great feat in itself, it's not great when that something is confusion, chaos and calamity.
   
   
9. Sometimes, when you act like an idiot, there are people who know what to say just to rile you further. I am one of those people, and I don't feel bad about it.
   
   
10. I like abstract art, but I love symmetry more. On the TV, I tend to set the volume to multiples of two, unless it's at 25... the midpoint.
    
    
11. No matter how retarded a person acts, they can be even more retarded.
    
    
12. Blatant, even semi-blatant hypocrites piss me the fox-hound off.
    

Fruit

Have you noticed how pretty fruit looks? Like, a laden orange tree - really nice. And, of course, the bowl of fruit that everyone paints, or takes a picture of. Now, a bowl of fruit on someone's head, particularly if the head is aesthetically synchronised with the bowl of fruit, is a masterpiece.

An orchard, now, that is really nice. I'd like to frolic through an orchard one day.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing", or something to that effect, and, allegedly, "One bad apple ruins the whole bunch".

I think that bad apple only gets to ruin the whole bunch if it's allowed to exert its influence over the other good, happy apples. Unfortunately, whatever made the apple bad can spread, and the poor apples can't defend themselves. So, it's up to the good men to fight for the apples!

Get the bad one out of there, and into rehab, and remove the bad parts, and whatever makes it bad - don't let the apple back into society until you do - and watch over the good ones and keep them safe from harm. They can't save themselves, so we have to.

So, are you a good man and do you do soemthing?

Fort Abercromby

Mayfly, woken up when skies are blue, I don't mind the sight of you, keep me company till she comes again!

And I end the singing.

On Thursday last, Felisha and I spent the better part of the afternoon visiting various areas of Trinidad: The clearly over-rated and under-maintained Military Museum and, by extension, we also visited Chagaramus. Then, serendipitously to Chupara Bay, and then to Fort Abercromby.

After being nearly-crippled by Math assignments the day before, Thursday was very welcome. I hold Felisha in high regard - I think she's a beautiful person and genuinely appreciate her company - so this, added to the fact that the breeze was fantastic at Chagaramus, the view (and sunset) at Chupara was impeccable, and the Pineapple Chow wasn't bad either, I think the day was near perfect, despite the traffic on the highway and the early heat.

Except Fort Abercromby had a canon and a half... never mind the sun had set. Chupara more than made up for the Fort.

2:45

At least that's what the clock on my computer says. Thinking of The Cardigans' 3:45 No Sleep and listening to songs from Regina Spektor's 11:11 album.

The one time I don't know is the time that I'm going to sleep.
