Aimless, Listless, Sleepless

Exams are over. And I am having trouble going to sleep. I can feel the mild ache of fatigue in my body but my mind is overly alert; as though it would never go back to the shut-down mode again. I closed my eyes and asked my mind to take me somewhere safe and calm. With smooth dark (expensive!) chocolate. And salted peanuts. And Reader's Digest in my hands. And Nancy Sinatra's Summer Wine somewhere in the backdrop. But nothing.

And I decide to tidy up my room instead. It's a total jungle right now. And there's this stench of textbooks. I know I have to get out of here. I leave is as messed up as ever. Quite house. Wall's ka ice-cream vendor and the jingle-tune. What next? Lums Olympiad? Lost, the Tv series? Bake a carrot cake? Sigh.

Now that the exams are over, I really need to set a new center of my universe.

SHIT!!! That was close to perfection!

You heard 'Summer Wine' in the voice of Ville Vallo/Natelie Avelone? Hope you have but if you ain't, better do. That IS perfection!

Oh yeah, that one is great too. And so is Andrea Corr and Bono's live version. Uff! I think it's something with the song. Magical!

U2 abnd Corres' version is pretty good but Vill Vallo's voice is simplt mesmerizing!

And original version sucks! :x
