Lady Luck is always smiling on me

There's the obvious things, like having two fully functional arms, two fully functional legs and a brain that works. I don't have any disfigurements, rashes or massive facial moles. I'm not socially disfunctional (while at the same time, I'm not exactly a social buttefly, but a happy medium), and I'm not completely unattractive. Then there's the less obvious things. Money…
Dresses and kissing and boys and alcohol

Dresses and kissing and boys and alcohol

Posted inMusicNo Comments
They are the main themes I picked up whilst listening properly to Lana Del Rey's album, Born To Die. I listened to it a while ago at work, but due to the subtleness of the overall sound, it was more like background music. I couldn't pick out individual lines, just the basic melodies - which is in no way the…

Shocking that they loved her so much yet didn't have any of her music before she died. I bought Jane's Valentine card several months ago. And between then and Valentines day itself I…

It's just so fast and lovely and Windows 7 is amazing. All I needed to do was plug things into it and it'd go "Alright then, start using the thing you just plugged in". A far cry from the old PC which needed to be configured here, there and everywhere, and have it's hand held all along the way. I've…
