Admittedly not so sure how I feel about our book being described as "a lesson in the failures of social welfare" considering I am pretty much for having things like socialised education, health, support, etc. and our book definitely wasn't intended as a serious commentary on the failings of child services in the UK or anything :/ In fact ( Read more... )

 Once again massive blogging fail. Things have just been crazy this year. Anyway, I've done a bit of a clean up of my flist - so if you've find you've been deleted please understand it's not personal, just that I had way too many things to read through and that I had to cut down.

Otherwise I am admittedly much more active on Tumblr:  ( Read more... )

 And they're not even my words, but those of my fantastic friend Tori who is living there now: amagiclantern.livejournal.com/107665.html
Because she says it all far more eloquently than I could, and because I am guilty of some of the things below. Like her I can only say - life does go on in BKK, and that any outpouring of grief is because I love my ( Read more... )

 There are not enough words for me to express how heart-breaking this whole situation is. I've basically been reading the news non-stop since Sunday and the more I read that more sad and helpless I feel about all of it. The worst of it is that although the military may have dispersed the protesters, this is still far from over.

Hullo ducklings. I had my last maths-related exam yesterday and it went pretty horrifically - you know that thing you get sometimes in an exam when you KNOW you revised this particular topic and you KNOW that you had looked at that formula just before the exam specifically so that you wouldn’t forget and YET during the exam even though you can see ( Read more... )

 I can't express in how many words how amazingly it went and how much I can't wait for the DVD of this show to be made; especially considering that literally two hours before opening night our revolving barber shop platform broke down. Still, we got it fixed in time - so it was all good.

Also, I've been listening to the Original Broadway recording ( Read more... )

Oh my god - where do I begin? It was just stunning. You know when you hear really really beautiful music and you feel so completely blissed out that it totally doesn't matter that you're sitting so far away from the stage and you can barely see anything because experiencing this gorgeous music live is totally worth it? That was what it was like. It ( Read more... )

Because this was originally going to be a rant about the some of the stupid, ignorant and just plain bigoted remarks that some people I know have made. But you know what? Let's not rant. Because I know they're stupid. And everyone else here knows they're stupid. And it isn't really worth my time to get so upset over the things people who have a ( Read more... )

Because when all else fails on Halloween, at least you can bully a friend into taking photos of you wandering around London as a French lost-and-confused zombie (no, I haven't been watching Otto; or, Up With Dead People. Of course not. *cough*). Anyway, the plan is to eventually compile the photos into a storybook. This will have to wait until ( Read more... )
