it's 4am and the day after christmas. i've just had some mediocre, microwaved pasta. there are about 10 or 15 indian youths at the void deck of my block being spoken to by two policemen. they were the same bunch we actively avoided when we went downstairs for a walk because we were beginning to look ashen from literally, a whole day's sleep and little else. that's my christmas for you. oh, that and two consecutive days of zouk. i think the only good thing that came out of being ripped off by zouk is being able to sleep so much the next days. well, rip me off once, shame on you. rip me off twice, shame on me. as you can already tell, the point of this lacklustre entry is having none at all, apart from saying merry christmas to all who's reading. i'm looking forward to january more actually, if only for the movies that are coming out. broken flowers, memoirs of a geisha and i forgot what else. i've sort of begun to compile a little list of resolutions to make already. unlike rules, they aren't supposed to be broken, at least not to me. i especially remember two of them i made for this year. i've had varying degrees of success with trying to cut down on smoking. and with trying to maintain better relations with people, well, let's just say i could do much better; however it does take two hands to clap and sometimes, you're just left with no choice but to be resigned. the past week has been nothing less than crazy for me. i'm looking forward to this new week - belated xmas lunch with ming, sam, amb, meeting sascha and meeting frankie. the thought of doing these three things has cheered me up considerably.

the textual siege.
