foucault is amazingly interesting. i've only studied a little but i really liked it.

i'm not reading anything. i should be. i am so lazy, i just buy books & let them sit on my shelves so i can pretend to look clever when people come round.



take what you love
burn it down.

I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.

I was looking at a needlework book so I could refresh my skills at macrame so i can make a choker for someone.



My husband is my best friend.

In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.

I'm reading Tricks of the Mind by Derren Brown, it's a good but slow read. I like the way he treats the reader as mildly intelligent. I hate being spoon fed. Also, it's a complicated read as he goes through tricks and you have to imagine him doing them which I'm sure uses a different bit of the brain than putting a novel's story together, I can feel them ache after a few chapters!

I'm being really original & reading New Moon [2nd Twilight book] =)



go on a journey, & roam the streets,
can't see the way out, & so use the stars.
she sits for eternity, & then climbs out.
she's the glowing sun, so come out.

I gave up on Never Let Me Go. I'm now reading A Life in Pieces - Richard Baer.
