tales from an ordinary world

2000-10-18

The endless circular journey of keeping up with friends, even the ones where 95% of my conversations with them are just saying "hi" once every few days. Have I been spreading myself too thin, perhaps ? There are so many people I only know peripherally, people I came across one way or another in my thirst for random knowledge of the things people do. There's a lot to know.

And there's so much new music to digest - 4 bootlegs last week, from someone overseas I did a favour for, and now the 6 CDs from The Wire with a random assortment of stuff on each one. I need to transplant myself from the computer desk into my bedroom, so I can examine these more carefully, without distraction. I'm so easily distracted, like my brain's constantly humming with the vibrations of people nearby - the more the merrier, but it's harder to concentrate.
