several light years late

but at least she's here now. i'm talking about nisse's crisp new blog. those who know and love her need no introduction nor proding. those who don't, surf to the right and follow the link. she's armed with a light sabre, she lives with a mean pop culture collection, the theatre of her cinematic mind has plush seats.
enjoy!

info saves lifes!

i don't mean to scare anyone or depress them but i just came across some info about inflamatory breast cancer, which i've never heard about before. please read about it in the link. apparently both men and women can get it.

if it wasn't for

insomnia i wouldn't be finding sites and sights as these...

upper lip, get ready

if any of you are visiting Alnwick Station, Northumberland, UK in the near future you must get me this poster. i will love you forever if you do, i promise.
today is one of those days when i feel like i really could do with one hanging over my work desk.

mr. sandman, you shyte

for those of you who've heard of my bed mistress, insomnia, this is hardly surprising but here is a mini essay i found on one of my favourite blogs, varieties of unreligious experience
it describes the experience in a sophisticated way ( i never could). there's also a quote from e.e. cummings, which i think carrie might enjoy.

oh, and don't get me wrong, i'm not at all gloomy about it. just resigned. the only thing that really worries me? the throngs of clever young kids with perfect sleeping patterns i have to compete with for a place in academia;-) mind you, they might be talented, but i'm bloody determined. so there you have it.

hope you're having a really enjoyable and calm long weekend.

k.

oh stop it , stop it!

i just keep finding things. damn.

f***ing february

the longest shortest month of the year.
but there's hope for the likes of me, nisse just called with news of masterpiece theatre producing the first of the four sally lockhart mysteries ! she's going to tape it for me.
what a sweetie:)
some of you know i have a thing for anything philip pullman. i mean, he's the person who got my brother reading milton's paradise lost, for heaven's sake. now to think of it, he got me reading milton as well. again.
anyway, we are scheduled for viewing tomorrow night after yoga.
till then,

ps. my comments section is disfunctional at the moment, no idea why, but you can email me.

it's tingly

@home, sick, trying valiantly to work

here are links to two artists currently on my 'i vant'-list:
http://www.amywinehouse.co.uk/
http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/video.php?id=1291

not suprisingly, i found out about them from strombo. as i don't get out much and am only going out with him, it isn't that unexpected really that i like what he likes...
my primary boyfriend doesn't know, but there you have it.

i guess i should think about cooking up some lunch for today and tomorrow. oh yea, i've started working part time for an archy consulting company, which makes everyone happy as little pigs and lets me sleep at night, which keeps me on good terms with boyfriend no. 1-thesis, which makes everyone who knows me happy as little pigs.

crap, the heating is not on, must go turn on the oven.

happy xmukkah!

as a treat to celebrate the first full day of chanukkah and the last shopping week before xmas enjoy this little latkeh/advent chocolate special!

queen of canlit

i've suspected margaret atwood of this for a while now, and finally there's proof! (yes, i know the clip is from the 70s but some of us were barely entering this dimension at the time, weren't we. could have hardly been aware of cbc's programming;-)
btw, what do you guys think of peter gzowski's flirting? haha;-P
atwood's reference site has also posted some of her 'undercover' work here.
and here's a link to this magazine where it appeared.
is there something this woman cannot do?!
ze mind, it boggles.

my favourite things, part 1

this is one of my favourite xmasy songs (hey, i said my favourite, o.k.)...the video isn't exactly holiday-related but i thought, at least for some of you, the trade off is worth it;-P
you can thank me now, ladies.
