The Owl flies tonight

A pretty selection of Owl artifacts form America's Urban Outfitters. I'm hoping at least one of them flies over to the UK soon.

I'm a bit addicted to...

A resolution not in vain

Whilst watching Eat, Pray, Love yesterday I realised I recognised the score. When I say recognise I don't mean I had heard it before, for it was an original score. I mean I immediatly felt that I heard the composer's work before. A spot if IMDBing later I discovered it was Dario Marianelli. The reason I recognised it was due me owning his score for Pride and Prejudice. Turns out I have without realising it semi kept one of my new years resolutions to pay more attention the composer.


Attraversiamo, Eat, Pray, Love.

"Yes, but is it art?"

“I’ll tell you what I like.

I like it when people look at modern art and pompously ask, ‘Yes, but what is art?’ Therefore I have decided to try and win the Turner Prize, so I can witness it firsthand.

I will place a very smooth and shiny white pebble in a huge room, lit by a single spotlight.

And on the pebble will be a sentence. And this sentence will be entirely in Braille.

It will say ‘Do Not Touch’”.

Danny Wallace, Awkward Situations For Men, 2010.

The cabinet read O-Z

and the slippers were silver.

I'd snap these up ...

... if only my budget ran into the hundereds!

More homeware perving

Click. Click.

This is just tooo cute. How can I justify buying it though?

A fresh start

I always feel jealous of the beautiful 'apartment' ware Urban Outfitters US site has. Here is a selection to add to my wish list.

And I'd like to get my claws on ...

After buying this impractical but essential ring at the weekend, I began to fantasize about a ring much like this one below. I just need to find myself one now that isn't $300!

I'd like to get my paws on ...

... a lovely Rabbits foot necklace. This one is a tad too much but you get the idea.

Maybe I would recognise your voice. But would that be cheating?

After an anime filled weekend - a direct reflection of a recent re-reading of Wrong about Japan by Peter Carrey and the start of House of Many Ways by Diana Wynne Jones - I stumbled upon this gem of a fact.

Mark Hamill voices Muska in Laputa: Castle in the Sky and Mayor of Pejite in Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind in the English dubbed versions.

I'm just not sure if it's a good enough reason to watch the dubbed versions.

Two True Things

If Snopp approves, you best believe it's something epic, but am I over it already?




Much better opening credits then Lost.

Hundereds and Thousands

Since the sun has upped its anty, I have become hopelessly addicted to these delicous treats.

Books Garth would be proud of

I've actually read this bad boy!

Wish you were ...

... here?
... there?
... everywhere?
... anywhere?
... no where?

Another day ...

... another dress.

But where exactly?

I'm looking forward to this. I hope it's everything and more than the trailer promises.

Ring Ring ...

A brief history of my mobile phones and all the good times I had with them

The bits in songs that I love ...

"I love you in the morning, When you're still hungover"

"I wish you had a favourite beauty spot, That you loved secretly cause on a hidden bit that nobody else could see"

"I wanted to be with you alone, And talk about the weather"

"I would go out tonight, But I haven't got a stitch to wear"

"Like pebbles on a beach, Kicked around displaced by feet, Oooh like broken stones, Were all trying to get home"

"The revolution will not be televised, Will not be televised, Will not be televised, Will not be televised, The revolution will be no re-run brothers, The revolution will be live"

"I love the way you walk, I love the way you walk, I'm crazy about your walk, I love you walk, you my babe, I got my eyes on you"

"Sharif don't like it, Rockin the Casbah, Rock the Casbah"

"We leave tonight, Or live and did this way"

"Hush now child and don't you cry"
