dig for fire

I had a lovely post in my head about riding home on the bus tonight, watching the rain stream down the windows as we crossed over the bridge from Gateshead into Newcastle, seeing the Millenium Bridge lit up, colours dancing on the water…
Then I got home, opened a letter from the post office. They are [...]

and i fell so deep within it i got lost inside it all

So today: insert large portions of yesterday, except substitute the bar for going to see the play Much Ado About Nothing.
It was fantastic. I have seen Much Ado About Nothing twice, once adapted and once in its original form. Tonight the performance was in the latter, and I honestly was gobsmacked with the intensity, yet [...]

hey, i know you…randomly

Tonight. Was. So. Much. Fun.
I don’t know why I haven’t been going to the more of the international pub crawls. Although there was no crawling involved tonight, we stayed at one very cool bar and it was rather sublime. They were playing JAMC.
I met a local artist and had a very in depth conversation about [...]

yue. blue. Cause I wanna put it up on the TV screen.

There are certain words, or phrases when said by certain individuals that will just make me cry at the drop of a hat.
Lately everytime I speak with my mom I end up getting off the phone in tears. Not tears from arguments just you know, tears. I’d been trying to reach them for a [...]

oh asclepius

I was just typing up the minutes for a meeting I was at today. Even though I was the one taking notes I was surprised when I read this line.
Allison agreed to set up (and maintain) a blog, with the AN for promotion of the exhibition.
I did? Fuck me, I need to start paying more [...]

turn around bright eyes

I had a dream last night about an actual situation that happened a few years back. One night after many, many glasses of wine my friends and I ended up in the kitchen singing drunk karaoke to Total Eclipse of the Heart. I think we must have just seen Old School or something. Anyway, everything [...]

happiness isn’t happiness without a violin-playing goat

I can’t sleep.
I’ve been watching too many Richard Curtis films. Huge Grants floppy hair is starting to give me nightmares.
I just got a message from my friend Janette who cannot sleep either. We’re discussing where to go for lunch tomorrow. Damn, I just remembered I have a lunch meeting. No tea for me.
My entire life [...]

my teenage heartthrob is having twins

On laundry day I always end up wearing the crappiest thing I own, or the dressiest. Although I didn’t put any dresses on this morning, I did go with a skirt, which believe me is rare, but I figured it would force me to actually do laundry so I wouldn’t have to wear [...]

oh look its huge grant in a box. with a bow too.

I heart my country. I really do. Thanks 668 for reminding me why I love Rick Mercer.
I’m looking forward to tomorrow. I have sat so much this weekend I feel the need to walk for at least a couple of hours. However, I start a new module tomorrow and believe class runs late and it [...]

what’s my thesis again? buttress that

It amazing when working on something you’re not fully engaged in how not only can you be easily distracted, but how the distraction has to be something that must be accomplished now. This second!
I paused earlier to reflect on a point (and a cool word ‘infotainment’) and suddenly became preoccupied with a chipped finger nail. [...]
