My parents are off to Malaysia for a cousin's wedding.

Went to the pub - as seems to be the Sunday afternoon tradition, now - and there was much talk of airfare and what-to-wear and family. And now I'm horribly stomach-churningly envious, because on 29th January at 10:00GMT I will be halfway through my (last) crappy Tolerance and Dissent exam, ( Read more... )

Scattered thoughts and connections. Annoyingly half-linked and not-elaborated upon. Need time to think.

Last week, I realised I was pretty darn interested in historiography. Food for thought from today's Historians & History seminar text:
All history is by nature critical, and all historians denounce the fraudulent mythologies of their ( Read more... )

(I admit it. I'm trawling the back catalogues for this entry.)

The majority of the time I make mixes for other people - which means I have to try and find a balance between my taste and theirs (some people are soooo picky) - or mixes along random themes (clouds! numbers!), which are all very amusing but not very personal ( Read more... )

01. Why did I not known until now how good Dead Like Me is?! Granted I'm only halfway through Season 1, but I haven't been so interested in a TV show (that's not a procedural drama) since Buffy. Why do I always get into things once they've finished?

02. Does anyone else find it a little sad (upsetting, tear-in-your-eye sad) that the Big Issue guy ( Read more... )

Edina: I'm gonna have a mixed-race baby! I'm gonna have a mixed-race baby, darling!
Patsy: It doesn't make any difference, it's still a baby!
Edina: It makes a difference, darling, a mixed-race baby is the finest accessory a person in my position could ever have, sweetheart! Oh, my God, it's the must-have of the season! It's the CHANEL of babies! ( Read more... )

Dear Summer,

Plz be going soon.

Sticky-with-hate-love, Sam

say cheerio to books now, the only things i'll read are faces.
[I adore that line.] One of the reasons I love Belle & Sebastian is because even when they're doing summery-type music like A Summer Wasting, they still sound spring-like and fresh. More cool summer evenings and mornings ( Read more... )

Right.

As someone pointed out on the Brutal Honesty meme, I'm much better at communicating with people (or at getting myself across) through comments* than the actual content of my journal entries.

So, oh friendslist, I'd like you all to take this opportunity to indulge y'selves and tell me all about your favourite 'ships/OTP/3/4/mores ( Read more... )

Colour makes a difference. Gender makes a difference. Ethnicity makes a difference. Acting as if they don't will create more problems than it will solve.

Do not ghettoize society by putting people into legal categories of gender, race, ethnicity, language, or other such characteristics.

x;; One of things I completely and utterly irrationally hate is breaking in a new pair of earphone wires. I intensely dislike the twirly-bendy-twining-knottiness of it all, and how it doesn't stay straight, but ends up curling back around itself and around your hand and well, aroundandaroundandaround. Um, yeah.
