November 29,' 08

- Heard Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 in E minor yesterday. First movement was very exciting. Have heard the second movement before, but never quite like that. Perhaps it's the combination of current emotions as well as the extreme talent of the orchestra that made me completely, utterly fall in love with it. For 10 minutes in time, I was in a different world.

- Liking the weather at the moment. Seems like it will last for a few days, which is good too. It's very refreshing to cycle in the middle of the night, wearing a t-shirt which allows you to feel the slight drizzle coming down.

- Drank vodka for the first time in a very long time yesterday. It's quite interesting how the senses and the brain functions. The first sip was quite exhilarating, with the blood shooting to the head and a million images and memories flooding re-appearing. It's a bit like smelling something you haven't smelled for a very long time. Apparently there's a "vodka blend" which consists of chilli and peaches saturated in vodka for a few months. That sounds like something to try.
