Goddammit

i had an annoying day.... i'm sore from our volleyball games on sunday... early in the morning the construction workers below me woke me up... in the afternoon, i put two baguettes in the oven and took them to my room to eat in front of my laptop, where i spend too much of my free time at the moment. well, i managed to drop one of the baguettes, which then fell right on the keyboard of my laptop, the covering (mushrooms and creme sauce) first of course. because of this little accident i was late for my class plus i realized after a while that i had forgotten my wallet when i had left. after coming home again, i spent at least an hour taking off a bunch of single keys of my laptop and trying to clean them and the board underneath.
what do we learn from that? don't build up your life around your computer (...which -in my case- smells like champignon baguette now - my favorite!)

Both sides now

moons and junes and ferris wheels
the dizzy dancing way that you feel
as ev'ry fairy tale comes real
i've looked at love that way

but now it's just another show
you leave 'em laughing when you go
and if you care, don't let them know
don't give yourself away

i've looked at love from both sides now
from give and take, and still somehow
it's love's illusions that i recall
i really don't know love at all

tears and fears and feeling proud
to say 'i love you' right out loud
dreams and schemes and circus crowds
i've looked at life that way

but now old friends are acting strange
they shake their heads, they say i've changed
well something's lost, but something's gained
in living ev'ry day
...
