So far, today has been a good Friday indeed. I have been watching an ace photography documentary series my parents told me I’d love ( and that’ll hopefully get me into the right frame of mind for my dissertation), making hair bows and am currently waiting for my apricot flapjacks to finish baking. Then tonight, [...]

A Confederacy of Dunces is wonderful. Ignatius bemuses me so. Though he is in many ways larger than life and supposedly the kind of character ‘we are not accustomed to observe every day’, he still manages to remind me of several people I know, even myself at one point- though thankfully only once. [...]
What is it, to be smitten?

So today whilst working up to joyous revision, I ran a quick search to have a listen to The Smittens (http://www.smittens.com/home.html) and instead I found THIS.
Slightly disturbing but hilarious, mittens to hold hands to…or something. How many times Tom has stretched my mittens when his fingerless gloves left him cold. These ‘Smittens’ are incredibly creepy [...]

Yellow.
I just realised I never wrote about End of The Road. Well it was wonderful. A few of my favourite bits were The Twilight Sad’s extra show, seeing Darren Hayman’s bluegrass sideproject in the garden bit, whilst eating pie I believe and the whole thing ending with Jen’s ‘You Are The Light’. Special. [...]
I love the way…

….that Callahan’s ‘The Wheel’ ( in the manner that he speaks each line before singing) reminds me of two things:
- A primary school singalong.
- Gospel choir.
Both of these are good things.
Oh and um, forgive me I know I’m not normally a gusher but: I love them. Even Vancouver’s otters are the nicest in the world. [...]

Confusion: it seems the general claim amongst Vancouver geographers is that the epicentre of the Skid Row district shifted from 100 East Hastings, to 100 West. So fair enough. Yet the notoriously dodgy corner when I was there was still Hastings and Main, much further East in city terms. So how does that work? Maybe [...]

Mmm Green Man was good. I got back a few hours ago ( after train trauma) and now am squeaky clean, but with coconut in my hair.
The weather was fairly hideous, but not too bad.I must remember to take more jumpers/scarfs/mittens to End of the Road. I saw everyone I’d expected to, all were lovely. [...]
So as it stands…

…it turns out not going to that Jeff Wall talk at the VAG was a bit of a mistake. But I remember I had some sort of essay deadline for the Monday and I was going to Victoria or Portland but oh, fool.
Somerset is lovely and it helps that we have a beeaaaauutiful view and [...]

Ah Toronto, our last port of call.
I had been here once before, when I was a young tyke. All I remembered from then was the heat, the shiny buildings, maple ice cream with sugar cage, seeing lots of Claes Oldenburg and a Louise Bourgeois exhibit that gave me nightmares. I had fun then but to [...]
