IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

28 Days Later was a film that both introduced me to the work of Cillian Murphy and cemented my desire to live in London. An interesting fact, since 1. At the time I was living in Paris, from which most people don't want to move 2. It's a movie about the last survivors of a zombie apocalypse.

UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE MAD LOCOMOTIVE RIVERBANK SUNSET FRISCO HILLY TINCAN EVENING SIT-DOWN VISION

I love earrings but I have a habit of always losing them. I will go out, come home and realise only one of my earrings made it home with me :((((((( I can get very emotional when I realise half of a beloved set has departed forever and I'll never wear those earrings again.


However (woo hoo) Forever21 (one of my favourite US stores) has finally waded across the pond and come to my rescue. It's constantly restocking loads of lovely pairs of earrings for very cheap, and there's never a problem with their not fitting. Just see for yourself.

I'M SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY

My favorite song from the late great Janis Joplin. (...favourite? I keep mispronouncing and misspelling words and not remembering whether it's English or American. The other day I kept staring at my mascara going "Mas-SCARE-ah? Mas-CARH-ah?" All this pressure...)

OPEN YOUR EYES!

AND IT GOES A LITTLE SOMETHING LIKE THIS ...

Went to the Mick Jagger exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery yesterday and really liked a lot of the Rolling Stones' album art.

RAIN SORT OF REMAINS ON THE BRANCHES OF A TREE THAT WILL SOMEDAY RULE THE EARTH. AND IT'S GOOD THAT THERE'S RAIN. IT CLEARS THE MONTH OF YOUR SORRY RAINBOW EXPRESSIONS. AND IT CLEARS THE STREETS OF THE SILENT ARMIES.... SO WE CAN DANCE.
