The Point
Wow, I just finished 'acquiring' Harry Nilsson's The Point on mp3. I used to fucking love this when I was a kid (my Mum had it on tape) and I listened to it over and over again... it's amazing that I STILL know the words to this day (at least to Me and My Arrow, which was always my favourite track). I have to say though, that the end never made any sense to me: Oblio is STILL the odd one out, now he has a point and everyone else is pointless! Or maybe that is the point of the whole story, its a kind of fairytale about acceptance... I don't know, all I know is that I loved it then and still do now, and it was the thing that really made me a Nilsson fan.So far it's been a pretty good day: I've done some laundry, painted more in the bathroom (it's amazing how quickly its coming together now), been for a run... in fact all that's been good, although having a look at my bank account was very very discouraging, but I'll survive one way or the other (although I'd prefer it to be one way, to be honest, not that the other way is all that bad!). Job search today has been a bit crap also: there's one thing I'm interested in (and I mean REALLY interested in, a teacher training position sponsored by a local school) but hilariously I can't actually AFFORD to apply (at least today... still thinking 'bout the other way!) cos the application costs £12 and I in a very literal sense don't have that kinda money...
Ah well, I'm sure all things will become clear in time; for now it's more painting!
