"I want to live and breathe, I want to be part of the human race..."

Close to 40 Celsius today with the humidity. It was nice to get my haircut, not that it is every that long, but short is nice for summer. It finally rained around 7, as it tends to do when it is this humid. The rain has helped slightly as it is 32 now with the humidity.
I am still struggling through Snow by Orhan Pumak and was reading it today while having an Iced Green Tea drink, when a girl was staring at me and came up to say that she had just read the book. I often have the same reaction when I see someone reading a book that I have read, so I found it funny. The following is from it.
"It may not happen in the first instant, but within ten minutes of meeting a man, a woman has a clear idea of who he is, or at least who he might be for her, and her heart of hearts has already told her whether or not she's going to fall in love with him. But her head needs time to understand what her heart has decided. If you ask me, there's very little a man can do at this point except wait for time to take its course. If you really love her, all you have to do is tell her all the beautiful things you feel about her: why you love her, why you want to marry her."
It is still Tuesday, so the countdown is below. The top 100 songs out of 1291 (1 less than last week, I guess I will have to search for new music this week). Radiohead 1 and 2, very early songs in their career, perhaps I am trying to return to my youth. 28 clips below should you want to check out any.
