christmas is sneaking up this year. it only dawned upon me today that it's gonna be jc's birthday this thursday. no, not the guy from n'sync.



again the christmas spirit has eluded me. i can only remember one year when i was almost totally engulfed by it. humming and singing carols all the time and being a christmas nut. and that was when i was quite young, in primary school. other years the yuletide cheer came too soon and fizzled out too soon too. mostly it's just not there, like this year.



i wonder sometimes about the connotations of a 'white' christmas. but i don't think i get very far cos i don't feel much like spoiling the occasion by overanalysing it. its like listening to countless emo and poppunk bands. it's a pretty good experience as long as you dont spoil it by overthinking about the unoriginality and stuff like that. but anyway, can you blame these bands. reproducibilty is everywhere in this age. at least they make the originators more original.



i have recently relinquished my status as a pirate, and i'm stockpiling for another long semester in a room with little entertainment. i'm working against time here. so if anyone got suggestions of anything worth checking out on the aural front, feel free to let me know. think about the bleak prospects of my next semester and think about granting me some salvation.
