Accents
Sometimes, I get quite cross about the American media's portrayal of "British" accents. Or- not cross- but. Tired.
Tonight I watched the BBC coverage of the midterm.
If you were to go on the basis of the presenters, even season three of Mad Men has actually got it right. -
On Escapism
I'm really very concerned that I read and write slash as a way of avoiding real life commitments and experiences. It wouldn't matter if I finished anything, but it's not even like it's training me to write regularly or to schedule.

Wrecked Wrists and Reckless Religion
I've taken up boxing recently, in a desperate attempt to get fitter and more toned before the seven day binge that is Fresher's Week.

Playing Hemmingway
It was snowing when he met her outside the station. She was wearing a parka over a silk top and short skirt. He introduced her to Jan and she and Jan got each other’s names wrong.

Depressingly, both are actually rather difficult. Facebook aside, I'd never noticed how much other people drink- and, presumably, as I drink. Not in an alchy sort of a way, just the extent to which wine and beer take a part in meal times etc, as well as the parties at people's ( Read more... ) -
