Dr. B in the 80s

Inspired by 'my parents were awesome' I bring to you 'my professor was awesome'.

There's no other word for it, he looks like a dude.

I just love the Onion's VERY IMPORTANT, TRUE AND NOT AT ALL SATIRICAL OF AMERICAN NEWS News Channel.

I wonder if this is what banks mean on those adverts where they promise you your 'own personal account manager'....

Love E.

Elephant kisses

Isn't this fabulous? Made my day when I saw it as my friend's profile picture on facebook. We haven't spoken in a while, but needless to say Miss. Howard has got straight on to my oh-my-that's-awesome list.

Love E.

Mugshots on Mugs.

This site, home of the awesomely geeky penguin-book-covers-on-random-items, has just got even cooler with it's range of mugshots...on mugs.

I'm quite a fan of novelty mugs, but even if the idea hasn't yet tickled you, Frank Sinatra, Al Pacino looking sultry as you sip your tea...it's not that unappealing. Oh and Jane Fonda of course.

It's a very cool website: http://www.artmeetsmatter.com/index.php and FOR ONCE it's british so us england people can actually purchase things!

Love, E.

Instead of spewing spuriously, why not rant concisely?

It's incredibly addictive and ridiculously fun! http://wigflip.com/superstickies/

As one turns to the well-thumbed pages of an old book we fell into eachother again. And I remembered why the lines underlined, even small words like shriek and shake and sigh had haunted me so, the feel of the pages exciting my mind just as it had back then, oh, how wonderful to learn it all anew, the old infused with this nervous wonder, wonder at the words of it all and the old childish hope fading in those final lines, that maybe this time it could end differently, but no it will always end then that fixed black fist punctuating puncturing - oh please, wrench my palms from our tale send me off into the night and cast the book aside, with 2 pages to go.

Things I found on other blogs that I wish I had found to put on my blog but that I'm putting on my blog anyway. Yep.

This site is unbelievable. You know how you've always wanted cuddly toys shaped like your internal organs. Errr no. But who doesn't want a cuddly uterus? When urine love...give a cuddly kidney. It's prepared for all occassions, as their slightly too explicit e-cards highlight...

And these amazing mittens that are a testament to the general good taste and quirkiness of the american online public because they went out of stock in seconds.

I just love this dress:

It's tacky and kitch but but IT'S SO CUTE!

I have a great fondness for both pandas and aesthetically pleasing food. If only I liked oreos.

Incredibly serious post of the day, over-and-out!

Love, E.

I have adopted a puppy

She's very bouncy and cuddly (although be warned, she may snap if fondled too often).


Her name is R and she is someone (not really a puppy, but I like the analogy) who I can be myself around. Do my stupid goofy dances around, instruct to run if somehow maybe I might have accidentally let one rip...someone who doesn't have any interest in literary theory but who I will probably impose it on anyone. My favourite friend is going to be sticking around our house some more. And that's really great.

Take me home...

Love to R and Love from E x

Scribbling on Scribd

www.scribd.com

It's a great site and a rare one. People upload writing, of any kind, that they have written and it goes straight into a public forum for reading and hopefully criticism and response. I managed to download the entirety of Albert Camus's short novel 'The Stranger' and upload some of my own verse in the same evening; like I said what a cool site! Or maybe just to me, because it is certainly the first of its kind that I've come across. I can log on a read the poems of someone my age from halfway around the world, which is so exciting for me.

Lulu.com also looks very cool.

Apparently you can self-publish your own books and sell them - isn't that incredible? If only I had anywhere near enough good material to fill that. But the bes thing about it is, young fledging poets finally have a way of spreading their work.

My username is eyandle and I have three poems up so far. I'm not very good at talking about my writing because I'm not really sure how good it is. But I love trying to improve and learn more, as I study the great poets of the last centuries.

Here's one for Remembrance Day Sunday:

If you haven't read Wilfred Owen's 'Dulce et Decorum Est' it's an unequivocal essential read.

Love, E.

Vermouth is the best named drink, don't ya think?
