Restless Butterfly

Update 4:04 :
mmMmMmm.. Sarah Harmer's .. ok. A bit too mellow and not enough funky or pretty melodies for me. She's a bit ..slow. I guess it's probably more mood music. I ended up picking it up for $14.98. Ok. Not the best, but much better than the $19 I was originally planning to fork out. Good thing I held back for once =P Ivy was selling for $19 also. But they only had her covers cd. Long Distance, the one I really wanted they didn't have. So looks like I'm heading into the main CBD tomorrow to check out their main store to see if I can pick it up there. I also need to go out and wander and start reloading my photoblog. I haven't touched it in days. Even I can smell the stale smell of dated photos on the web computers...

Meanwhile, here are one of the few lines from the Sarah Harmer cd that struck me. What? Why am I blogging them up? Just coz..

"You know I always thought
That there'd be lots to talk about
But I never see you and I still look when I go out

Always so much that feels undone and waiting
A pocket that's gaping threads to weave
On the top of a pile another melody is aching
For a few pretty words to let it be
Simple tether hold this together
At least to one place
So the feelings can't escape into the air
'Cause if they do we won't remember that they
Were even there
And filled a moment that we had to spare"

Sarah Harmer - Tether

I find it a bit melancholy and bittersweet. Least I can bear to listen to lyrics like this now. There was a time when I would hurriedly press the 'next' button. This just goes to show I'm starting to distance myself from emotion enough to feel and have my feelings manipulated no matter how slight in order to 'have a good time'/function.

Whatever that means.

It's 11am. It's not like I haven't had enough sleep. Well, I haven't, but still. I feel very restless. I've decided to go and buy 2 cds today. Sarah Harmer and Ivy. I'm going to spend money. Money that I shouldn't be spending. Money that I can't afford to give away. But I'm going to spend it. Because I am tempted. And as we all know, I have no will power.

So I'm going to spend.

Btw, for the record, I hate tax. THey took $200 in tax from my pay check! My first 'official' paycheck. They took out $200.... Think of all the CDs I could purchase with $200...

I should be sitting here doing work. I've whiled away 2 hours blogging and mucking around. Don't really feel like work today. Want to go out. Want to enjoy myself. Going to work 9-5 and coming home to watch DVDs, while idyllic is overrated.

I'm restless today.
