I have decided to create a new journal. No major reason, other than a desire for experimental change. Please, if you wish to keep in contact (I may eventually delete this journal, but not for a while, and not without warning) add me at my new account: lunar_echo
There isn't much there in the way of posts just now, and it may be a while before I have it ( Read more... )

Back from my few days of escapism in the Wye Valley, and from a hectic work-related weekend. Things will be busy up until Wednesday, with catch-up study, People & Planet stuff (trying to get the first edition of the newsletter Fair Word printed by Wednesday, to distribute before the end of term - i.e. Friday) and a mid term essay that appeared ( Read more... )

Currently, finding it a little difficult to keep up with the speed with which my life passes these days...There always seems to be so much worth writing here, discussing and detailing, but by the time I get chance to sit here properly and write something - it all seems somehow faded or irrelevant.

A mini-break from journalling, though I have been keeping up with most of you to the best of my ability. I have just been feeling weirdly unmotivated to write much, in general. Life lately has mostly consisted of:

Cooking fine food and drinking lots of wine, day dreaming, being amused by/with my housemates, reading Sleeping Beauty and making notes ( Read more... )

Last night we went to the cinema to see Jean Pierre Jeunet's new film: A Very Long Engagement (he directed Amelie, an all-time favourite movie of mine). As I hoped and expected, I gained the satisfaction I most desire in a film: to become utterly involved with the events, to fall into a romantic idealism and to feel inspired. I walked out of this ( Read more... )

G7 backs Africa debt relief plan...

It is interesting...the emotional fluctuations one can go through when a day is spent mostly indoors, mostly looking at photographs, cringing at old writings and poetry, delving into old music collections and thinking about....well, everything really ( Read more... )
