Ahhh, the joy of receiving a parcel in your mailbox, especially if it's a CD! I love CDs. I love buying CDs. You can throw me into H&M (for say) and it'll probably take me 2 hours (max) and I'll get bored. But you can just check me in to a CD store and then come pick me up the next day. Or the day after tomorrow. Or never.
Anyway I just listened to the album and sadly, I'm abit disappointed. Maybe it's the kind of album that takes a few more rounds of listening before I'll start loving it (just like how I didn't like Mayday's "The Second Round" at first)
I love Arctic Monkey's new sound and style in this album, but I'm disappointed because I'm expecting more....? I think the problem lies with how they have so cleverly picked out the really strong songs as their singles. A very smart move, I'll do that as well if I were to market the album, but then you'll get disappointed when the other songs are not that strong...
But the lyrics are awesome (as usual) Like the song "Arabella", there's this part that goes like this:
My days end best when this sunset gets itself behind that little lady sitting on the passenger side
It's much less picturesque without her catching the light
The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyesI'll never be able to come up with such poetic sentences. Which makes me think, how does it feel like to be talented? I think about this all the time, especially so when I feel impressed.
Anyway, some other updates about life..
This is my 3rd week of school. Still trying to settle down, which really takes alot of effort? It's like I have to do consistent work everyday to keep up. I don't remember doing consistent work for all my previous semesters... Somehow I have a vague memory of watching TV everyday after school...
Man, 3 months of hiatus from school really kills. It's like I lost all my footing while everyone else in school made progress in that 3 months.
Had dinner with brother and Inggrid last thursday! Inggrid is probably in Turkey now, and I'll probably only get to see her next year?
And looking at her just confirmed my belief of how love makes a person look better. You know, 愛情的滋潤。But then again, I read a book some months back and the female antagonist strongly believes that 人遇愛情便蒼老。A very interesting view if you think about it.
But I looked at this photo for a couple of minutes and thought to myself "Hmmmm, who looks like the one in love? I think I have the in-love look as well in this photo... Maybe I was thinking about my CDs
We over ordered that night, but what can I say? Food makes us real happy.
