Fully settled in with baby now. Definitely enjoying this time before I go back in 2 weeks. My work gave me 6 weeks paid leave, pretty nice. Also trying to ramp up to getting back in the water in the mornings for swim practice.

I need a weekend off, if only to repay my sleep debt. I've spent most of this evening ironing clothes, then went for a glass of wine. That's about as intense as it will get.

Worked all day, but now hom and about to jump in my hot tub and hope that my two extremely boisterous cats don't entirely destroy the house by the time I'm finished.

The highlight of my Friday comes in the form of a question to English speakers: Does the sentence "My world is mesmerised" make any sense in a song?
I'm playing with a sample pack, and I got this after some cutting and pasting a few words. It sounds good, but it doesn't seem this particular phrase has ever been strung before according to Google, so I wonder if it's just gibberish. This is supposed to come right after the phrase "you got me mesmerised". Or mesmerized, if you will.

Also, that building in the background of that video at 2:20? I lived a hundred meters from it for five years.
Haha, it must be so weird to randomly spot the place you live on TV. It only happened to me when I saw this video by Front 242:
I drive by these buildings pretty much every week :p

Eh, I guess you could stretch it to mean something like “my world is enchanted” but normally only living things can be mesmerized.

It makes no sense, but that's never held back famous song lyrics in the past.

It makes sense if you assume IGK came up with it.

Yeah, this is the "semantic leap" I was hoping native speakers could take! I guess it sounds unnatural but it isn't incomprehensible then :)

Well, I guess you and the Gallagher brothers have just convinced me. It's been 23 and I still don't know what a Wonderwall is :p
