Favourite birds
The barn owl - for being so gorgeous

Today I was handed a lemon slice, even though I asked for an apricot...

This is because the doofus or so-called ‘teacher’ taking this particular class didn’t impress me at all. My first impression of him was that he looked like a slug. That, and he...

Sundance film 'Compliance' review on Best Movies... →
‘Compliance’ sounds delightfully twisted. This is a definite must-see.

Mark Lanegan Band, Forum Theatre, April 26. I can’t get it out of my mind. I can’t fucking wait. Oh. My. God.

It looks like it’s going to be a nice, cozy night in with my Murakami book. I can’t think of anything better. Oh, joy!
