what do i want?

Well..

I want to able to listen to recordings of piano sonatas and know who's playing... I want to be fully engaged in the World of Ideas, I want to understand complex economics, and what people see in Bob Dylan... I want to use words like 'eponymous' and 'solipsistic' and 'utilitarian' with confidence... and I want to be able to speak many languages fluently, and maybe even a dead language or two, and to carry a small leather-bound notebook in which I jot incisive thoughts and observations, and the occasional line of verse. Most of all I want to read books; books as thick as a brick, leather-bound books with incredibly thin paper and those purple ribbons to mark where you left off; cheap, dusty, second-hand books of collected verse, incredibly expensive, imported books of incomprehensible essays from foreign universities.

No, really.. what I want is:

At some point, I'd like to have an original idea.

"Starter for Ten", David Nicholls, p.12

p.s.
(1) I started reading this on our holiday, it's hilarious.
(2) I came very close to reading "incomprehensible essay" at times, and I do 'see' that there is something about Bob Dylan, I just can't figure out what it is yet.

Word of the day:

indefatigable:

(adjective) Incapable or seemingly incapable of being fatigued; tireless.

It is ironic given the fact that since we came back from our holiday I have been so fatigued and tired I had to stay in bed for 10 days without going out at all until my head got so bored that it would explode any minute now.. phew.

Well.. you can probably tell I'm irritated too. Hopefully soon I will be able to tell you some good news.
