Jack the Ripper

I didn't draw this.  I just think it looks nice.

Don't you think Robert De Niro is looking cute these days?

I am very tempted by this watch.

Update: Tried it on at Atoo (http://www.atoo.co.uk) and now I'm even more tempted.

"Hey, so I was thinking we should get married, maybe?"

Reading

I finished reading this a few days ago.  It's the second Banks novel I've read; the first being 'Wasp Factory'.  I really enjoyed the book and it's well written.  Set in the Scottish Highlands, north-west of Glasgow, near Oban, reading about the setting made me want to go back to the Highlands and just stand outside and appreciate the open and empty country.  It's quite beautiful around there and even though it's well known, like Loch Fyne, it's not busy.

Yesterday I had a discussion with two of my work-mates about whether they were British or English.  Both of them said they were English and I say I'm British.  To say your English is to ignore hundreds of years of history that has united our kingdom.  I like England but I don't want to be part of a small country, I want to be part of Wales, Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, the Outer Hebrides and the Inner, the Island of Mull, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Belfast, etc, etc. 

I stood there and watched him walk away with tears in his eyes,

trying to be brave as he went to London to forget me.

I've been good and I've been bad,

I hurt somebody that loved me,

but how can anybody hate me when I loved them first?

Guillemots - Train to Brazil

Such a joyful song even though it's about suicide bombers.

Truman Capote

I've read a few Capote stories, seen the film with Philip Seymour Hoffman and read some of a very detailed biography on him but I don't think I'm a big fan of his work, but I love this picture.  

I think it encapsulates the reckless joy of a complicated man.

Prince Andrew - he's rich, posh and stupid.  Perfect combination.

Dear avid readers,

I am  sorry there was no posting yesterday on Weird Wednesday.
We're you gutted?
I've been looking for something post today but can't seem to find any inspiration.

Jet trails in the sky 
Leave one word behind
A hand bangs into sand a name
And we all understand

Everybody's Lost
But they're pretending they're not
Lost
Oh, Lost 


Morrissey, Maladjusted, Lost
