Wango! The mango with a wangy tang!
Islands' new album has leaked onto the expensive rug of the internet, which is exciting since their debut, Return to the Sea, was just tip-top. I've only listened to this one through a couple of times, but it has more of a modern indie feel to it. In a good way though. I think if I listen to it another five times through or so, I'll be hooked. Give it a go! What's the worst that can happen? Some sort of internet virus? Oh, you are living in the future now, with your technology and cyberpunk crime!
I had a cock-kick of a day yesterday, involving lectures cancelled just slightly too late, hours of wasted work, pens exploding in pockets and burns from raging hot ovens. But it's another day now, and that means it's a whole fresh start for the universe to HATE ON ME. Just try it, God! I got my dukes up!
Currently reading the first in the Northern Lights series, under what can only be described as devastating pressure from the entire world. It's good, though I do wish I'd read it a few years ago, since it's clearly aimed at mid-teens. Nevertheless, it's good for the eyes and brain, like cod liver carrots.
I'm also reading Jeremy Paxman's The English: a Portait of a People, which is well-written and interesting, but seems to forgo making points in favour of writing funny things about the French. But maybe it will turn out marvellously in the end and I will have to eat these words in some kind of shame-bun.
I've also made a cheesecake so good that it is like gargling sunshine. Check it out:
Tasty enough to serve at a wedding or funeral!
