Now that I'm 33.3 years old, the days of blue and green are behind me. I have left the earthy and entered into the purple phase of my life. Jarod Kintz Another week has sailed away!  I've got this new (free) app on my phone called Camcorder. Most people will already know about this, but by this app you can make videos that look like your old school 80's/90's home videos (which is indeed very...

I'm shopping around for something to do that no one will like. Jerry Garcia While situated in the 'in between' (read all about that [here]), I've got some time left to do WHATEVER I WANT. And apparently one of the wantings I want (or wanted) is (or was) to make a wishlist of some sorts. Or rather: the wanting was to get the things on this list but... ya know... money or something holds me...

Have I said why I love the sunrise?  It's 'cause it's only gonna get lighter Feels different then paradise Is this love? Swim Deep - One Great Song and I Could Change The World This Monday we've got a very special muse, namely: in between. In between is situated in the middle of something. In between can also be phrased as 'interspace' or 'interval' or maybe even as 'an intermediate thing'. Meaning, you've just finished...

You know what? Fuck beauty contests. Life is one fucking beauty contest after another.  School, then college, then work... fuck that! And fuck the Air Force Academy.  If I want to fly, I'll find a way to fly. You do what you love and fuck the rest. Little Miss Sunshine (2006) Little Miss Sunshine. *sigh* I accidently stumbled upon this film on tv. I'd heard and saw some bits before and decided to sit out...

Question everything. Every stripe, every star, every word spoken. Everything. Ernest Gaines The Heritage of the Stripe The other day (or actually a couple of weeks ago -maybe even a few months ago, I can't be sure....) I watched a documentary about Picasso, mainly focusing on the influence he's had on art, but also on lifestyle. The curator of the Victoria & Albert Museum explained the impact of Picasso on fashion. Being there in Paris...

If you're not giving it love, leave it the hell alone. R. Queen The return of the weekly-not so weekly list of loves! Booyah! This week has been quite... well... sh*t. All the more important to make a list of loves... I've been listening to Swim Deep's album Where The Heaven Are We on end (naturally followed up by Mothers, which is also very good and together they make an absolute excellent playlist) while writing...

Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people  will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill. Buddha Everybody's talking in words I don't understand... What's buzzin', cousin? I've got something wacky for you today! When I was doing some research (aka: when I was procrastinating) I came across some slang from the past. As most of you will know, in my book language is one of the most...

Alfred De Musset | Dress: Vintage | Hat: DeMuze (#vintagesecretsanta) | Brooch: Vintage (Broesj) | Gloves: Vintage | Teacup and saucer: Vintage | Tea, anyone? I've got something bittersweet brewing in the kettle! Remember: a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. But a pinch of sweetness at odd times can do a trick or two too... Just some sweet...

I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring. David Bowie Definitely not something I'd expected when opening my eyes this morning...  David Bowie, David Robert Jones, died yesterday after an 18 month battle with cancer. YES, that's a lot to take in when you're half dreaming and half awake. I wasn't even sure, at that point, if I was dreaming or if I was actually awake. Unfortunately the...

Friedrich Nietzsche  | Dress: Sonanz | Fake Fur Collar: From an old jacket| Tights: Primark | Shoes: Van Haren | Hat: Vintage | Gloves: Vintage | I did it my way...

The Greeks thought of language as a veil which protects us from the brightness of things.  I think poetry is a tear in that veil. Alice Oswald Veil: a piece of fine material worn by women to protect or conceal the face. I've had a soft spot for veils ever since I can remember. There's just something about having a fabric casually  ruining your view that's somehow appealing to me. So I went out on...

To grant all man's wishes is to take away his dreams and ambitions.  Life is only worth living if you have something to strive for. To aim at. P.B. Kerr Oh yes, I'm milking this new year thing to the fullest extent! You'll be reading about this '2016' thing all the way to the last day of December! Mwahahahahahahahaa!! As they say, a person just needs three things to be truly happy. First of all...

This is just one day But one day is enough to start all over again Give me just one day  And we will begin all over again The Zombies - Nothing's Changed I find that no beginning is ever a new beginning, but we can try and take a step back -start with a new chapter- and breathe. 2015 wasn't very fruitful regarding my resolutions I'd made earlier that year. 11 books? My behind! Although,...
