Tar

my last refuge, my writing. my fortress, my solitude. it is here that i reign immortal. and yet the immortal comes to his kingdom telling tales of woe.

do i bleed from wounds of spite? or from my own self-mutilations, the designs i cast around myself?

chicken or egg?

i think maybe punishment sometimes isn't meant to be commensurate with the crime. and i have broken my own law. but i'm passing out from the pain.

it's no use complaining. no use saying what's fair and what isn't. life was, is, never will be fair.

and my dreams are just as fragile as the next person. they lay crunched underfoot. tiny flecks of glass, miniscule specks of crystal ground to dust amongst the gravel.

'Be thou like Amoeba. Separate thyself.'

ho ho ho

there's coursework that needs doing, revision that needs attending.

當作 是你開的玩笑
我的認真敗給黑色幽默

don't you love Jay Chou?

what's left when all the doors are open? when the world is mapped, when the treasures of the kingdom plundered. when the secrets of the world are split open and splayed open, when the heavens are torn asunder, the angels in marching surrender. what's left?

what's left when the sandals upon your feet are worn out, when the sun has flayed your back? when the desert swallows you whole and nought a drop from the sky to save your floundering soul? what's left when you tumble down those burning, everlasting dunes?

does the sun always rise? does the moon always come back?

the pitter-patter, the gentle droning,
wide-eyed whispers and soft crooning.
bright lights and candle flicker,
the waning moon getting sicker.

down and down, down it goes
swing and swing, to and fro
where oh where, are we now
sweat dripping off a brow

tossing pennies down a well
cling clang as they fell
wishing may, wishing might
coins tumbling without a fight

screaming eagles, crying larks
failed fireworks (lackofsparks)
here's a match, here here
inch
closer
almost..there we g
crimson rain, pitterpatter
pitter patter. pieces plunging
pathetic ploy! oh!
painful, fingerless poignance
pity the powerless prey
ponder pious pointlessness
pitter - patter
pitter - patter

Poker and Property

There's another tournament tonight and you can bet your arse I'm gonna be there. Going down to submit my law and state coursework in a bit, I think it's a fairly decent job considering that I've basically had to do it from scratch. Minimal research but then it's about maximising the grade, isn't it? There's about a month to go before the exams start and I think the pressure is slowly building up on everyone...After property submission this wednesday, it'll be hardcore revision and then finally the rays of summer will start shining through. 2 months to the day and I can barely wait to get back and be with you.

In other news, for those of you who've been following this blog for quite some time, you'll know that my archives are split between the old blog, www.aevylain.blogspot.com, and this one. I managed to reflect the archives on the right hand collumn to seem as though there's no break, but there is. For this reason, and other cosmetic ones, I am considering a move to Wordpress, which has the nifty ability to compile all my blog posts from my previous blog and this one into a single archived document.

I've been working on the new template and putting it together... you can click here to view it, or if you're one of my less computer savy friends, this is the exact address:

**** I haven't moved this site...yet...And I MAY NOT DO IT ****

I would like comments on the new layout and opinions on whether or not I should move. There are pros and cons to the new blogging tool but on the whole I like it. Keep in mind though, you'll have to read THIS site for any definite news on whether the blog is going to shift. For now, I'll continue to post here till I've decided for certain that Wordpress is the new home of Aevylain.

Template Update

Check out my greed on the right hand collumn. Comments if I've left out anything obvious but do note the list is ever-expanding...and I wrote it all at one go so there's obviously stuff that's slipped my mind.

Coursework, Revision and the Subtle Knife

So the bloody exams got pushed back by a week...which means that my flight is pushed back for a week as well. But the start date is the same, which means the whole process is just dragged out for longer. Bloody hell. So I'm gonna have to reschedule my flight and tentatively fly back within the first week of June. In other news, my coursework is coming along well...at least as best as can be expected. I think it would go along alot faster if I wasn't so caught up with my own reading. Seeing as how The Subtle Knife, the second volume in the trilogy, has already been devoured, it's obvious enough where my attention has been directed.

The thought of returning home is growing more tantalizing each and every day...though I know the reality of it isn't going to be all that great. I mean, after I've eaten everything I wan to eat, seen whomever there is to see...and of course spent every second possible with Shan (till she goes back in July), what the hell else is there to do? For like FOUR MONTHS?! I'm kinda against internships because I really do NOT see a point...primarily because we're first years for god's sake, exactly what kind of responsibility would any respectable firm dare to heap onto you? There's this mad scramble for placements and work schemes and all that kinda shit but frankly I think I'll leave all that kiasu-ism for when it really counts, in the 2nd and 3rd year.

That leaves a big gap where my Summer should be and I guess I'll have to start thinking of things to do, whether it's actual work or travelling or what have you.

Conquering the Final Nine

Made it to the Final 9 in the tournament yesterday...playing at a table with our own dealer and prize money up for grabs for the top 5 spots. Finished 4th, pocketting a hundred pounds. Could have done a little better if I hadn't decided to make a move for 2nd, but I am quite satisfied. I'll be there next week, you can count on it.
