So I turn my head away.

I hate the sunsets here.
It's just another day ending in a country I find suffocating.

USS Missouri

USS Missouri, Pearl Harbour
27 August 2008



We were on a tour which took us all around Pearl Harbour*. It was a little strange to be touring the USS Missouri after the glorious dead of the USS Arizona.



But all the pomp and waving stars and stripes quickly moved that little black cloud onwards



Until ... oop - there it is.


* I wish I'd been able to take a photo of the FBI building in Hawaii - it looks like it has windows, like any other office block type building, only it's on the edge of nowhere and the windows are all filled in.

Week Thirty-Six

Sunday
It rained and it rained and it rained and it rained.


Monday
I had another day off work and I spent it watching movies I've seen many times before. And one that I'd never seen*.


Tuesday
Reading a good book on the train (The Undertaking: Life Studies from the Dismal Trade by Thomas Lynch) with Craig by my side.


Wednesday
Trying on beautiful clothes that, ultimately, I did not buy.


Thursday
The morning spent at a Speed Reading course. It was surprisingly interesting and effective.


Friday
After work drinks lead to a later than usual train ride home.


Saturday
Visiting a vintage store I came away with a glorious kitsch souvenir scarf from Rome and a vintage camera. All for under $5.
