Mountains - Biffy Clyro

I took a bite out of a mountain range, thought my teeth would break the mountain down.
Lets go, I want to go all the way to the horizon.

I took a drink out of the ocean and I’m treading water there before I drown.
Lets dive, I want to dive to the bottom of the ocean.
I took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn’t go there without you.
Lets take a ride, we’ll take a ride. I wouldn’t leave here without you.

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can’t take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can’t take that away from me.

‘Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don’t like.
You can’t understand that I won’t leave ‘til we’re finished here, and then you’ll find out where it all went wrong.

I wrote a note to the jungle and it wrote me back that I was never crowned king of the jungle, so there’s and end to my horizon.
I took a ride, I took a ride. I wouldn’t go there without you.
Lets take a ride, we’ll take a ride. I wouldn’t leave here without you.

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can’t take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea.

‘Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don’t like.
You can’t understand that I won’t leave ‘til we’re finished here, and then you’ll find out where it all went wrong.

Nothing lasts forever, except you and me. (You are my mountain, you are my sea)
Love will last forever, between you and me.(You are my mountain, you are my sea)

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can’t take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea.
I am a mountain, I am the sea

A is for Kaos

Okay so, as promised an entertainment update!

Films

Seen lots of films lately. However special mention to the X Files – I want to believe. I have to admit to being a little disappointed with it. With the stem cell research plot I kept feeling like I was being sold a political line, and I’m already pro stem cell research. It also seemed a bit odd that the church led hospital apparently had no problem with stem cells. Just a bit too angsty for my liking!

Really really enjoyed Get Smart and Hell Boy. Particularly in Hell Boy where they actually mentioned Northern Ireland, go there (well perhaps not really but pretend to) and then have a Northern Irish character. Course it was a Spanish director, who probably has a bit more respect than your usual “just get someone to put on a shitty accent” American director.

Books

Currently reading Inkheart by Cornelia Funke which is the sequel to Inkspell and part of trilogy. They are books for kids, but really enjoyable. Also they’re translated from German. It’s basically about a girl who can read herself or people out of stories but it’s centred around the story in one particular book. A fairly original idea I think. There were rumours of a movie but I haven’t heard anything.

I finally managed to finish the TNG “A time to….” Series. Which is set just prior to Nemesis. So anything I read after that will be post Nemesis. They will probably write stuff pre Nemesis but I never feel inclined to read books that are set further back in the time line. I want the story to be moving forward.

I’ve also started with Star Wars again. So read the first in a post New Jedi Order, well I think it’s a trilogy (the Dark Nest) but the story continues into the next series. It’s not going to work out well for the Solo family L . SW is my next book actually!

Music

Well in all honesty I haven’t bought any albums recently. Couple of individual songs that I like but no new albums coming out unfortunately. Well not that I know of. Hmm perhaps I should do a quickie shufty on Amazon. Nope, nothing, nada. Although there was one which was bought by people who bought lifehouse and matchbox twenty which I might have a listen to.

Resplendent Monkeys

Work is a bit slow at the mo. Ooh I’m a poet and I didn’t know it. I also have a bit of deja vu, I’ll have to check to see if I said this before.Poor little blog is so used and abused, Ignored for months and then I only write something because I’m bored at work :( .

So, nothing much happening really. As I have said several times already playing warcraft so my net habits go check email, check forums, get any co-ords or info I need from wowhead and then log on to wow. Up to level 65 now. Trying to level up my fishing – harder than I anticipated though. I feel like I’m on a mission now. So I might spend this evening doing that. Ooh and there’s a new instalment out shortly. Just in time for my birthday in fact! Not that I’ve finished the Burning Crusade. Not that you really finish at all I suppose.

If there were any doubt that I were a geek I think I’ve just destroyed that.

My 2 weeks on my lonesome have come and gone and much enjoyed. I wish I were a millionaire and could live like that all the time. It’d be sweet!

Dear god I hate other departments. I’m sitting sending duplicates and in this case triplicates of stuff. I hate it even more when the thing we need is in the papers and it’s not been actioned. Hah! Correction it was completely and utterly wrong. So apologies nameless colleague (at least in this case I’ve found plenty of other fuckups).

Saw Steve the other day. Acknowledged my existence which is more than he’s done in a while. Sadly broke up with his girl however.  Although I thought his girl was a bit of a bitch in all honesty.

Hmm think I might do an entertainment update tomorrow
