look happy, its the end of the world

Its funny sometimes to see what people tag photos as on flickr. I’ve kind of been procrastinating hard core by searching through that site. Its the new music torrents for me.
There is an entire group called lonely objects. I know, you’re so glad I blessed you with that information. There are a lot of lampposts [...]

if its so then let me know, if its no then i can go

Today was such a wonderful day, though I spent 6 hours straight coming up with a strategic plan for a museum, even missing lunch, the work was rewarding and my group worked fabulously together.
So on my way home I wandered through Marks and Spencer and saw these flowers on sale. This picture does not do [...]

keep counting sheep, but they keep talking back

This morning I was looking for orange juice at the union before class, only to find a juice called ‘blood orange’. As I have stated before, I like my drinks submissive, so I was slightly terrified, although somewhat intrigued with the concoction. I like grapefruits. I like oranges. Surely they would blend together nicely? Yet [...]

all the leaves fell today

Today when I got home I needed to vent. It’d been a long day, and the one person I needed to vent to was three time zones away, yet I tried calling anyway. Went to voicemail, naturally, and I closed the phone on the verge of tossing it across the room, perhaps then it would [...]

the purple dress

I posted this entry last night. Apologies to anyone who read it before I took it down. One of the reasons I switched to WordPress after the demise of my last blog, was so I could control the unwanted comments – spam if you will- better. However, I still seem to have problems with this, [...]

the best street meat

Its graffiti Monday! I have decided. Here’s the first piece. A poem stencil from Sunderland, which is not very far from where I am now. I don’t know exactly where it is, only that I am going there on the metro on Friday, so it can’t be that far.
It seems I’m all about flowers today. [...]

like a thousand years ago

This morning shall be the first time I’ve been outside in a few days. I’m quite worried how natural light will affect me. I’ll be sure to bring my jackie-o glasses along and my owl sweater, you know, for protection.
I’m happy to report that Michael Moore was right, the British Health Care System is aces. [...]

purple always trumps red

i saw a little girl this afternoon
wearing a leopard print coat
bright purple stockings
and red rain boots
she ran cross the grass
brown hair waving in the wind
when i was 5 i had a pair of blue rain boots
the bottoms held smiley faces
so when you stepped in mud
you left your mark
nicole had ballet slipper shoes
which looked like my [...]

swinging arms like satellites

once, when i was in elementary school, at craft time (can’t remember what grade) we were instructed to bring in empty kleenex boxes. we then took elastics, stretched them and stapled them over the opening. our very own mini almost-guitars!
i could have four mini almost-guitars now, if i so wished. (a new development since [...]

makes me feel the wrong way round, inside out and upside down

Sick, and sleep was not happening. Head felt (and still feels) like a horribly bad drummer is trying to practice inside of it, I figure nourishment was probably best. So I got up. Took out a pita. Opened the hummus and put it on my desk. Next to my hand cream, which was closed. The [...]
