Some sage advice from the Dalai Lama about regret.

Quote from the Dalai Lama regarding regret in situations where there is nothing you can do: “It would not be helpful to anyone if I let that feeling of regret weigh me down, be simply a source of discouragement and depression with no purpose, or interfere with going on with my life to the best of my ability.”

I’m gonna take this opportunity to say the opening of the movie Dark Shadows is the best opening of a movie ever made. (Shame the film didnt live up to it).

Just recently watched West Wing. John Goodman only appears in a few episodes but was brilliant.

Every time I see a reference to Sade I think of The Crying Game. Both this album and the film are from so long ago I don’t remember why.

I’m in downtown Burwood. The place is packed and people are queuing at the Dragon Hot Pot.

I’m very confused.

No, honestly I didn’t plan this, but at the opening siren I find myself in an Asian hairdressers with the Teenager, who is getting a perm. I blame BTS.

How would Jenny feel if she knew a stranger bought this unread copy of the book 21 years after she penned this hopeful dedication? #booksky #artofhappiness #dalailama

What journey was she on? #cultvibes
How long did she stay? Obviously not long enough to feel pressured to read the book. Is Jenny as obnoxious as her giant bold all caps handwriting suggests?
