Monday

i'd like to lye down and talk like this...

Caitlin: When does William get back?
Vera: I keep writing. No word.
Caitlin: Maybe he’s dead.
Vera: I’m still getting his pay. The army wouldn’t pay a dead man.

Sunday

an education...


just seen 'an education' and i loved it! Carey Mulligan does an amazing job at playing a young girl based on Lynn Barber and her affair with a married man, stills are my own, hence the poor quality,

Richard Siken





i bought Richard Siken's poetry book 'crush' at the beginning of this year and have read it at least 4 times since. his poems are fast paced, honest and intense in such a brutal way. It was the first 'yale series of younger poets' book that i bought and i'd like to hear him read some day,

Milton Glaser






Milton Glaser is a graphic designer best known for his " I heart new york" campaign and his bob dylan poster. He revolutionised design and is an inspiration, I like the way he uses black lines in different ways to define his work.He has also written loads of really interesting books such as "Art is Work".

today...











spent my time after work browsing our little town's town house turned antique shop as an excuse to get out of the rain, i used to love going in there when i was little and looking at the vintage clothes and old books which had that destinctive smell of age, they're blackberry pictures so excuse the bad quality,

Marcel Proust



this blog was inspired by many things, but Marcel Proust was the biggest of them. I know it's stupid, but i kinda have this writer-crush on Proust, everything he writes seems to make perfect sense and is written in a candid way which makes you feel exposed or devillish. I began reading his books and pieces written about him when i was 14 and i haven't stopped since. (even though that has only been a year but oh well),
