Braille

She was lying on the floor and counting stretch marks

She hadn't been a virgin an he hadn't been a God

So she named the baby Elvis

To make up for the royalty he lacked 

And from then on it was turpentine and patches

From then on it was cold Cambells form the can

And they were just two jerks playing with matches

Coz thats all they knew how to play

Elvis never could carry a tune

She thought about this irony as she stared back at the moon

She was tracing her years with her fingers on her skin

Saying, well why don't I begin again

With turpentine and patches

And cold cold Cambells from the can

After all I'm still a jerk playing with matches

It's just that he's not around to play along

I'm still an asshole playing with candles

Blowing out wishes

Blowing out dreams

Just sitting here and trying to decipher 

Whats written in braille upon my skin

-Regina Spektor

Marry Me Marcus Mumford

Seriously, J'adore

Brian, Beeb and I went to see them on Saturday at Shepherds Bush Empire; epic is the only way to describe it.

my two favorite songs are Roll Away Your Stone 

and

Lover of the Light

oh, the latter might be the best thing I've ever heard in all of my life

if you must listen, do a youtube stalk and listen to the one that is live at Sidney Oxford Art House

coz the drumming is tres beau

I would Marcus Mumford bang me like his drum any day.

over.

Perhaps I'm Not Such A Failure...

...in view of the fact that I just banged out two A's for my January exams.  I feel I have upset my inner failure with the 100% I got in one of the papers.

But there is always the June exams to fail!

Hurahhh

peace out 

Mac and Cheesey Goodness

Why is food always better when its cold and a bit old?

To quote Johnny Flynn 

"Leftovers is what what I want

Don't need no fine cusine

Give me a dime for a bacon rind

Or slip me some of that old sardine"

except I want cold pasta bake or mac and cheese

cheers

What The Fuck Are You?

I'm sitting here watching Ren and Stimpy on Mtv R. What. The. Fuck?

WikiWiki says "Ren Höek, is a psychotic "asthma-hound" chihuahua, and Stimpson J. Cat, is a dimwitted Manx cat."

That does not tell me ANYTHING about these characters

I don't like this

look at them, trying to be cute...racist domesticated animals
