Summer in the City

i am sitting at the laptop typing this, because my wireless keyboard is much too efficient to actually work. but i've got the computer on right next to it, so that i can listen to my music without hassle and read my bookmarked fanfics. i like the way the laptop warms up my palms with all the energy it is expending. sick? strange? who knows, maybe i'll go and look up some videos of oil fields burning pretty and red. it will take up some of my expansive free time. (i am also too efficent to work. today, at least.)

i had my teacher scholarship interview today (drama/ english). the people of Blacktown are a very kind folk - taking the time to point me back and forth in various directions, and complain along with me at the reprehensible lack of signage. one woman offered me some of her hot chips. i then sat in a waiting-hallway for a while with another applicant by the name of Amy, wondering if we were being monitored, and that this was actually the test. the elevators seemed in a continuous, pointless exchange of suited government workers, like some kind of absurdist play. i wondered if there were cameras. i wondered if talking about how to successfully lockdown and gas an underground train station while simultaneously downloading music would create some kind of reaction. i wondered if Amy was gay, before being collected for the interview... which i thought went quite well. at least, i've never sustained such enthusiasm in that kind of situation before.
this evening i watched The City of Lost Children. i now feel like i've had my fix of dreams for tonight. very pretty film. then i watched rage for a couple of hours, which is something i haven't done in ages. i don't know why i haven't.
in other news, my plans for tomorrow have been thwarted, so i'll have to concieve of something amazing to do instead. maybe see how long i can play my guitars for before my fingers and/or ears start to bleed. :)
i've got to start waking up earlier. the hours between 11pm and 4am becomes a period of nothingness, where i can't seem to feel time passing. in contrast, waking up at midday always feels like the day (not just the daylight) has been significantly shortened. hm!

goodnight
