About: These are things I am in like with. And there are a lot.

I am an occasional writer of Haikus.

This is not such an occasion.


Summery, teenage-y stuff.

It just takes some time, little girl, you’re in the middle of the ride. Everything, everything will be alright.

The Middle | Jimmy Eat World

Can you tell that I’m obsessed? 

More Than This | Charlie Hunter featuring Norah Jones, covering Roxy Music

My infatuation with Norah Jones’ music continues. Whilst her partnership with Danger Mouse continues. Maybe it’s just Danger Mouse that I like.

A happy little song to get you going, without the need for any pills.

Happy Pills | Norah Jones

A clear horizon — nothing to worry about on your plate, only things that are creative and not destructive… I can’t bear quarreling, I can’t bear feelings between people — I think hatred is wasted energy, and it’s all non-productive. I’m very sensitive — a sharp word, said by a person, say, who has a temper, if they’re close for me, hurts me for days. I know we’re only human, we do go in for these various emotions, call them negative emotions, but when all these are removed and you can look forward and the road is clear ahead, and now you’re going to create something — I think that’s as happy as I’ll ever want to be. —Alfred Hitchcock on his definition of happiness. 

I don’t have to feel your charm charm charm charm

I don’t wanna hear the alarm.

Susan Sontag in a bear suit.  Yes.

Susan Sontag in a bear suit. 

Yes.

Tell her I’ll be waiting

in the usual place.

With the tired and weary

there’s no escape.

To need a woman, 

you’ve got to know,

how the strong get weak

and the rich get poor. 

Slave to Love | Cover of Bryan Ferry’s song by Roisin Murphy

(via howilivenow)

We are imperfect mortal beings, aware of that mortality even as we push it away, failed by our very complication, so wired that when we mourn our losses we also mourn, for better or for worse, ourselves. As we were. As we are no longer. As we will one day not be at all. —The Year of Magical Thinking | Joan Didion

In honour of Adam “MCA” Yauch. 

This makes me happy and I start to sway from side to side. 

Like Elmo. I start dancing like Elmo. 

Fisher of Men | M. Ward

What a fantastic cover of the Nina Simone classic “I Put A Spell On You”.

This is what I’m like in a club. 

How is it that I’ve never seen this video until now?
