You know, life got in the way a bit so here are days 4 and 5 together,

Let's Pretend We're Married is another Prince song about sex, but it goes off and little tangent about God and the afterlife at the end, which I find rather comforting now he's gone.

Who could have predicted the strange journey of Depeche Mode? From bouncy Basildon boys to hard rocking american wannabees and huge international sellers. I love all their incarnations, especially when Martin sings.

In my early teens I heard Prince for the first time. Instantaenously, I fell in love with Prince and was utterly obsessed with him for 2 years. I had all the albums, the videos and kept a scrap book of cuttings, I wrote him letters (not sent) and had things I wanted to ask him, then moved on. I was a fickle child ( Read more... )

Watched Big Trouble in Little China last night as I was going to sleep. I remembered it as being silly and possibly offensive to Chinese people, but not scary. I reckon I'd only seen cut versions before because this had some strikingly nasty images in it even though it wasn't generally disturbing. Anyway, my mind loves to hang on to a frightening ( Read more... )

I keep dreaming that my house (but it's not a house I've ever lived in), isn't my own and I have to leave it at short notice. I've often had dreams where I've revisited an old home and found things I left behind, but never so many dreams where I am displaced ( Read more... )

Been to some wonderful places lately, Cornwall, where the Eden Project was much better than expected and my Dad damaged his car taking me to a holy well *feel bad about that*. To Avebury to hang with the stones and Tintern which looks magical whatever the weather. My dreams have been odd ( Read more... )
