I do not need to state the obvious: instead of finishing The Revengers Tragedy, I have designed myself a new layout.

Surprisingly, this was perhaps the quickest I have made a design, leaving me with a decent amount of sleep and plenty of time to get the gist of the play in the morning.

Anyway - there is tweaking to be done. And I'm not really sure about the image. Or the layout. Or anything, really...

Suggestions, comments are most welcome. Does the image take half an hour to load? I am spoiled by my LAN or my ethernet, or whatever it is that makes my computer fast. I don't know computers.

So I guess the only thing I'm thrilled about with this layout is the new song lyrics... Though the Cake song ('you think she's an open book, but you don't know which page to turn to, do you?') was perfect and the whole reason this diary is named what it is, I was in the mood for a change.

And this song has become over the past several months a sort of personal anthem - a good contrast between who I am today and a few dreams for the future, basically summing up my general disposition in a powerful and inspiring tune. It is Bruce Cockburn's latest, called 'Open,' an amazing song no illegal mp3 collection should be without.

Open

I never live with balance
I always wake up nervous
Light comes at me sideways
I hold my breath forever

I never live with balance
Though I've always liked the notion
I feel that endless hunger
For energy and motion

Open, open...

I never live with balance
I wanna feel you near me
There’s an aching in my hipbone
Wanna let my heart drop open

It’s daylight in the city
There’s thumping in the stairwell
Kundalini sunrise
A clamoring of church bells

Open, open...

You like to let me worry
But I don’t take you for granted
Come over here and kiss me
I’m savoring your picture

The street is filled with noises
Life going up and down
Light comes at you sideways
Enfolds you like a gown

Open, open...
