bugger... My New Year Resolution was tossed to the wind when I went into the shower yesterday morning. Forgot to shampoo, but did the whole conditioning thing. And I was wondering why my hair felt weird when I was blowdrying...

Yes, Mondays never start well. Especially after the high that most Sundays bring. Sundays have become somewhat routine nowadys, what with Touchkidz and then church and then the debate about what else to do on a nice Sunday afternoon. This time round, went out with Ady and Zach and watched Memoirs. The book is infinitely better. The whole world of the geisha cannot be fastforwarded and inserted into a 2 hr time slot. But there are parts I appreciate. I'm v visual, so watching scenes unfold in front of me help add a bit more to that world of geisha in my head. And I didn't fall asleep in the movie at all!!!!! The cinematography was beautiful, and the scenes are painted in grey muted tones that remind me of Tokyo when I visited. It must be all that rain.

My conversations with a group of two or more people often degenerate into a "suan" Jess fest. This was in a league of its own. Had the usual "I am dao, what's wrong?" dissection. Conclusion? "I can't do anything about it, so get on with it."
