eyes wide open

had the worst few days of my life last week but the human soul is resiliant and things are getting back to normal. funeral stuff has been done and no more people coming round the house comiserating. everyone is getting to living their lives and i am doing the same. 


its a long 4 day weekend for the queens diamond jubilee, which means its been 60 years of unelected office for her and her oligarchy. why is it democracy is only for arabs?. why cant we follow the example of the brave egyptians and tunisians. oh well. maybe one day we will catch up.


weather has been horseshit. i cycled to the gym on saturday and there were people in winter coats and scarves. can i just remind you london is in the northern hemisphere and june is supposed to be summer, unlike argentina or australia where it is their winter. beunos aires was warmer than london yesterday. 


anyways, i was supposed to be starting my new job on wednesday but because i was dealing with the stuff after my dad passed, i barely checked my email and i didnt sign my contract or fill in any of the forms the agency had sent, so i dont know if wednesday is my first day. i will call them in the morning and tell them i will start on thursday. it was my last day at work on friday and its like most last days. said goodbye to a few people and that was it really. low key, just how i prefer it. 


weather forecast is for rain for the rest of the week. am going to try and get myself to california in september. i need it bad and given the shit weather and my dad passing, i really could do with getting out of london for a few days. i might try and also go to new york as well. i dont know why exactly, but i miss that place. 


today i have mostly been listening to gotye - eyes wide open. wicked tune.
