“But after Lewandowski waived his right to a pre-sentence report, the district judge said his theft and wrongful entry was without justification.” That’s just tragic. It was -10C, he’d have frozen to death outside. :( Sometimes our society makes me cringe.

I am still drunk
And life is gooooood. This is what Boxing Day is about. Getting pissed with close friends in your favourite bars with halloumi wraps, just before you have to go back to London. I mean, it’s clearly not specifically about that. But y’know.

Why I love Cy Twombly
Wilder Shores of Love - Cy Twombly - 1985 I might identify my own work more with minimalism, both in terms of thinking and in terms of aesthetic*, but abstract expressionism is something that remains dear to my little heart. I often hear people complaining about what the fuck is that, it’s just some paint on a canvas or well it just doesn’t make sense or, my personal favourite, even...

Today we found out
Bears shit in the woods The Pope is Catholic Tommy Sheridan was lying. I’d like to say I have a shred of sympathy, but my reaction is much more along the lines of get it up ye Tommy. Hope your time away treats you well, and I hope it fucking hurts when the NOTW asks for that £200,000 back.

A complicated relationship
I leave for Scotland tomorrow, for six whole days. People always ask me why I never go home for a long time, and of course part of what I say is true: oh, blah blah, I have to work, I have a presentation to prepare, I can’t stay at home too long without driving my ma insane, blah blah… But it’s also partly because Scotland is a difficult place for me to be in. My whole life,...

I sound like an elephant when I blow my nose. I hate being sick. I also hate that tomorrow is a ten hour bus journey back to Scotland, whilst being highly infected with germs. No one will want to sit next to me, ha.

Help me resolve this dinner dillema
I’m going to dinner at a friend’s house in two hours. I should bring some vegetarian food (alongside this epic motherfuckin’ cheesecake my housemate and I made last night) to ensure I have eats. I have very little food at home so a shop trip will be necessary. I need last minute recipes that are: a) vegetarian b) cheap and c) delicious. Sort me out, Tumblr.

(secretly english): Thirteen hours of music →
claresophiet: So I’m taking the bus home to Scotland from London. If there are no delays (HIGHLY unlikely), it’s a ten hour ride on the bus. Given the recent snow, the bus company estimates a 2.5 hour delay. On top of that, I have a 45 minute journey to the bus station, then another 30… Amazing! Thanks Elle, that’s wicked. I particularly liked Actress, will fo sho check out more.

On top of that, I have a 45 minute journey to the bus station, then another 30 minutes on the other side. I need like thirteen or fourteen hours of music to occupy my brain. I’ve decided...
