So many things, so little time, so few brain cells, so limited memory. So this will be a so-so entry with many random ramblings haphazardly pieced together.
Think of it as a mental patchwork blanket.
Comic reactions to Greek tragedy. Hey, the fat Greeks are paying the price for fattening up. So why is everyone getting diarrhoea?
Rain. Dense but miniscule lines of water falling from the sky. Just looked out of the window.
Scab. Nicely formed on the head wound. Doctor advised against peeling it off prematurely. In fact, no peeling allowed. Let it drop off normally.
Lethargy. There is work but no interest to work. Money is there but no interest to even earn it.
Waiting. I don't even know for what.
Television programmes. Have some files in the hard disk but not in the Sofa-Burbank mood yet.
Cooking. The simpler the better. The weather is too hot for staying prolonged periods in the kitchen.
Coldness. Ice water tastes better these days because of the unbearable heat.
Shares. A prolonged slow bleed. Nothing seems to be able to staunch the bleed. Yet there are people who believe that a bloodied bull is still a bull.
Housing. Prices sky high. People still flocking showrooms and buying, overstretching themselves. Maybe some of them swallowed a fly. Maybe they'll die.
Cars. Prices not that high. People still fleeing showrooms and resisting, denying themselves. Maybe some of them should swallow a fly. The prices are at the new rock bottom. With the new COE cuts, with further cuts in July, there is no way but up for car prices. And by the time the silly car buyers realise that, COE prices will shoot through the roof again.
Chaos. My greatest fear is there is NOT ENOUGH chaos. Abhisit will dissolve Thai Parliament in September. Why so long? Haven't he realised that he might be sublimated by then? UK elections are almost a done deal. Labour exit widely expected. Bigoted woman, eh? Greece violence. So happy tree friend.
Crazy. Nothing wrong with being crazy. Really. At this rate, against what standard do we measure normal?

Spike Milligan is responsible for this little gem -
Rain
The sky has holes where the rain comes in.
The holes are small; that's why rain is thin!
High temperature and high humidity takes its toll on those who reside there giving birth to all sorts of cultural bigotry – laziness, dullness, lack of motivation, and a multitude of inertia. The drill is well-known to social Darwinists of the Nineteenth Century and to some who wish to live there now.
So what is holy about the noon day sun? It is the difference between residing in temperate latitudes as opposed to that the tropical and not adjusting one’s behaviors. It is the stupidity of not observing the behaviors found in the “host” country and the assumption of innate superiority.
“Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday sun….” Kipling’s India but fits here too.
Of course I write from the perspective of one who lives a temperate zone – somehow colonization of the tropics always struck me as sheer inanity.
High temperatures and rain, now that is one UGLY combination as originally noted here. I won’t visit Florida or Georgia either….
