The last few days, I have been suffering from some kind of minor but unpleasant stomach flu, I think – or some kind of minor problem from something I ate. I had bought some vegetables from the Lotte Supermarket which in retrospect may have been a bit questionable. I'd used them on Saturday to make a mild curry sauce which wasn't particularly delicious or easy to eat in any event, and then this consequence followed.
Oh well.
Work is easier at the moment, with a somewhat reduced teaching schedule since the middle-schoolers are now in exam-prep classes for their Spring exams. I slept 10 hours last night – some kind of recent record.
What I'm listening to right now.
Charlotte Gainsbourg, "The Songs That We Sing."
Lyrics
I saw somebody who
Reminded me of you
Before you got afraid
I wish that you could've stayed that way
I saw a little girl
I stopped and smiled at her
She screamed and ran away
It happens to me more and more these days
And these songs that you sing
Do they mean anything
To the people you're singing them to
People like you
I saw a photograph
A woman in a bath of hundred dollar bills
If the cold doesn't kill her, money will
I read a magazine
That said by seventeen
Your life was at an end
I'm dead and I'm perfectly content
And these songs that I sing
Do they mean anything
To the people I'm singing them to
People like you
And these songs that we sing
Do they mean anything
To the people we're singing them to
Tonight they do
