I'm currently in Foxton, near Cambridge, being writerly. (Currently I'm not being writerly; currently I'm being journally, being Facebooky and in fact most of all being hungry because I have another five minutes before breakfast and didn't want to start my day with chocolate because thast would be setting a terrible though tasty precedent.) Due to ( Read more... )

'aforsaidmentionedly' has got to be one of the greatest made-up words of the century.

Tori Amos! Yay! I sometimes have trouble remembering that artists who aren't her exist really do love her music rather a lot. Alas, my copy of that particular song is no longer around or functional.

But... starting the day with chocolate brings good luck! So goes my hypothesis, anyway. Sadly, it lacks even anecdotal evidence at the moment.

She is rather wonderful; I think that her cover of Karma Police is actually one of my favourite cover versions of any song ever ever, and she was not only the model for Delirium but also a tree in Stardust, and is generally rather cool. :D

Hmm. It certainly brings energy and yumminess. That's good enough to be getting on with, I think... :D

You sound so horribly food-murdering like ressie_noldo's and my vision of Ten and the Planet of the Nibbles. Poor breakfast; don't you think it might want to live a little before you tear away at it? Doesn't it get a last request, like a man about to be hanged? (What would breakfast request, anyway? I wonder.)

Listening to Sarah Slean sing about Eliot is always a good idea. Listening to anybody sing about Eliot is a good idea, actually, but not enough people think to.

It was a vegetarian breakfast, and the jam thankfully had not been there long enough to develop conscious life. (That's a very meta question, I think. Anti-food, perhaps?)

I spent a not insignificant percentage of my seminar time evangelising Eliot, actually. He is rather good.

Also! Library-nagging time: what China Mieville book ought I to read next? :DD

The Scar! The Scar! (I'd be very interested to see what you make of it. I found the meta-structure most interesting... :P)

:D :D :D

Wait, why are you in Foxton? Foxton isn't home, is it? What happened to home? :O In any case Sarah Slean yay, and Tori Amos yay ("Wednesday" always reminds me of Loki for some reason, because Wednesday = Woden = Odin = Norse Gods = Loki and the song is kind of tricky; it makes sense in my head), and being writerly yay!

Foxton was where my course was. It isn't home: it's a little village comprising, from what I saw on my way to and from Villiers Park, of some small houses, a railway line, a level crossing, a small shop and a pub (and Villiers Park, which was where the course was). Nothing happened to home, although my last week there before Foxton was very odd for a number of reasons, one of which was the fact that my main school friends were all in Spain and I didn't see them at all.

(I always associate Odin with the Hanged Man in the Tarot pack, but I just like the Hanged Man a little bit too much so don't mind me. Wednesday and Sangria are probably my favourite songs on that album, I think. So pretty.)
