It occurs to me that the reason I tune into the 'classical' (I say 'classical' because I'm pretty sure most of this stuff isn't from the classical time period, but it seems that instrumentals from the past using woodwinds/brass/strings/percussion/voice are put under the umbrella term) radio station instead of... well, anything else, is because the classical music played has so much more colour than mainstream music. Fantastic.

Sometimes I want to whap people upside the head when they take on even more obligations when they're already (supposedly) quite busy. Because I know that it almost always results in one of two things. 1) They drop their obligations. Very frustrating for the other person(s) expecting those obligations to be fulfilled. 2) They explode from the stress.

I suppose this is also me, hitting me from the past upside the head, because I tended to do 1). My unfulfilled obligations from the past are unfortunately, very much there, at the back of my mind.

The sky in the past couple of weeks has been utterly fantastic. Some days, it's the kind of sky you tend to see in those Christian themed calendars we sometimes get, where the light of God is shining through the clouds, except these aren't photos, but real. Other days, the clouds are a bright pink while the sky is blue. And other days still, the sky is the purest blue, without a cloud in sight. Beautiful.

There are a lot of things I could say about MOTHER 3. I could say that I spent the evening talking to my Mother about MOTHER 3. I could say that I really admire the MOTHER fanbase and its dedication and tenacity. I could say it's the only game that has hit me so hard emotionally. But you know what I really want to say about MOTHER 3?

This. THIS. Is art at its finest.

Or, from Shigesato Itoi himself:

"MOTHER 3 is a playground with plenty of room for your imagination to run free. The more you think about it, the greater MOTHER 3 will become. The more you feel it, the deeper it will become. The more fun you have, the more you'll grow."

Truer words have never been spoken. I'm glad that I was introduced to this series. It really is something beautiful.

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

That. would be everyone, really. Life is goood, the world is beautiful ! I will always believe this \o/

Especially since when I walked home today, I played in the puddles ♥

ANON MEME

Ode to Trigonometry

If only my life was as easy as pi
It would be parallel to none
I'’d circle the world, I’'d get a great tan
Everything would be complementary
Where do I sine up?
Too bad it'’s about as real as i

There was a little patch of grass outside my uni's lecture building. I spent the small moment before the lecture started lying down on the grass and looking up at the sky, with the sun beating down on my arm and a breeze gently rolling in. And I realised how incredibly boring our sky must look to people from other countries; it's nothing but blue expanse, no clouds.

But it's the sky I live under, and I love it.
