A little bit in love with this Paolo Nutini just now.

The Unloved
Eating lunch, have realised, I feel sorry for broccoli and brussel sprouts.
Given a bad rap, they are the universally unloved vegetables of their vegetable world.
I love you broccoli.
I love you brussel sprout.
When I Leave .5
The random conversations, tea and wine with darling Ali.
“I quite like Northern men – Northern men with a belly”
“When my hair becomes shorter, it becomes…. shorter.”
When I Leave 3. 4.
3. That smell in the morning.. like toasting nuts.
Just the breweries apparently.
4. Being given winning “tickets” by colleagues.
When I Leave 1. 2.
The things I’ll miss most about Edinburgh when I leave.
1. The boys of Stockbridge.
2. Christmas mince pies.
Between Quarters
Before quarter end comes up, there’s a period of calm at work.
Wanting to make fractals in Illustrator, various instructions led me to this..
On the Radio
This is how it works
You’re young until you’re not
You love until you don’t
You try until you can’t
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath
No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else’s heart
Pumping someone else’s blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don’t get harmed
But even if it does
You’ll just do it all again
Regina Spektor
«And Then, One Thousand Years of Peace»
..from Ballet Preljocaj. Gorgeous androgyny.
Lucky enough to get free tickets, but would pay to see it again!
Must find other Preljojac performances.
She is a Poncho
Thanks Steven, so appropriate.
Thanks for all the purple Sam!
