“The Big Freeze” is beautiful and great fun, but not so great for driving to work over ice every day =(

katsushika hokusai
Reading Haruki Murakami’s Norwegian Wood has rekindled my interest in all things Japanese. To my very European eyes, it’s a fascinatingly different culture. And it is one that has produced (and is of course still producing) so much beautiful art, like these famous woodblock prints by Katsushika Hokusai. I’ll be looking at Japan in my anthropology course in February, which I’m rather looking forward to.
P.s. Take a look at Tommy’s gorgeous photos from her recent trip to Tokyo =)

absolutely cuckoo
I’ve only just discovered The Magnetic Fields, which is almost a crime considering they’ve been going since I was born. They make lovely, jangly, multi-layered indie-pop, and I’m rather taken with their 1999 offering 69 Love Songs. (69! Ha!) It’s a collection of, yes, 69 love songs, and it’s really rather fabulous. And almost three hours long. The opening track is Absolutely Cuckoo, the lyrics to which I’ve doodled above. They’re playing a gig in Manchester Cathedral in February, and I’m so very tempted to go. There’s very few tickets left and they’re about £25, which is a considerable investment. This sort of thing is surely what my overdraft is for?

how a resurrection really feels
Yesterday evening I found the list of resolutions I had made last New Year. They were to stop biting my nails, to be more creative and to love. Aw, I’m so sweet. This year the list will be similar, with the addition of stop being so bloody lazy. But this year I am a university student, so I have an excuse, right? ;) I am resurrecting this blog in the hope of fulfilling the be more creative clause, because it might encourage me to take the camera out more often. We shall see. I’ve moved to the city and so much is new. It’s all very exciting, but it doesn’t give me much time and space to take photographs.

strange as you are to me
“There is light in my lady’s house
And there’s none but some falling rain
This like a spoken word
She is more than her thousand names”

“She uses a variety of techniques to meet her purposes of inform and describe. For example, she uses superlatives such as ‘most’ and pre-modifiers such as ‘bold and emotional’ to convey her emotions and to show her explicit bias towards the situation. Proper nouns such as ‘Charles, Earl Spencer’, help to inform her audience, but she also uses third person pronouns such as ‘he’ and ‘his’ to avoid repetition. In one of the sentences she describes the day as ‘bright and sparkling’, this contrasts with the mood of the day and does not reflect pathetic fallacy…” – Thanks, Tom.
I’ve decided to return to blogging. I don’t know how well it’s going to go, but we’ll see. I’ve finished school, I have time, and I feel good. Maybe I’ll start taking pictures again. I do however leave for France on Monday, so there may be three weeks of silence. I’ll have plenty to share with you when I come home, I’m sure.
