A shape is the limit of a solid

... the family though the child, I would not be in this state. Give me the weavingloom please, I'd rather wear bonnets and corsets or whatever those ancient Europeans did pre-industrial time. I am romanticising that era, but what is there not to feel nostalgic about when reality now is so tough? Nobody I know actually has a Real job at this moment, other than going for job interviews and worrying ...

A Warsaw courtyard

..., chatting away.  They look spotlit.  The deeply annoying head of the residents association chose the planter.  This is probably the best it will ever look.  Tomorrow I start my doughnut quest so that by Fat Thursday next week I'll know where to go.  It may be romanticising the whole business, but I mean to find an old woman in a headscarf with a deep pan of fat and a centuries old recipe.

K-drama: Boys Before Flowers, Episodes 9-10

...it‘s not a particularly deep relationship (he can’t actually even remember his name!). Whereas here we get considerable romanticising of the warmth of family (and also romanticising of the appeal of the commoner lifestyle), and as much time is spent on him bonding with her family as with her (possibly ...

K-drama: Boys Before Flowers, Episodes 7-8

...slurs on Jan-di in order to anger Jun-pyo. It’s not like it’s beyond Rui to be a total bitch - but it’s part of his ‘plan’ here and therefore it’s almost like it’s part of that romanticising I was hoping we’d gotten away from. Humph. It’s oddly framed, as well; of course Ji-hoo already knew that Jun-pyo still wanted her, and I think even Jun-pyo himself would have admitted that without a hockey ...

Willesden Junction

...to somewhere else,places to switch tracks and stable rolling stock. My immediate impression of Willesden is of a strange transient wasteland, unclaimed by community.  Maybe this is just the romanticising effect of a winter twilight against urban decay, buddelias struggling against graffiti, sky filled with cabling and vast slabs train-moving machinery, like something from oil fields or docklands. ...

really?

...out for her. Just another night out with the little one and the oldest, sitting at homje, physically, mentally, and emotionally alone at home. What may seem like a great night for her, fun-filled, romanticising night, is just another abandoned night for the oldest. Another cold, bored, lonesome night, at home. Yeah, sure, people say things like "it's the kids who's parents abandone them, are the ...

falling off the pedestal

... me for spiritual inspiration about a year ago. I guess that fantasy of who I'm supposed to be is busted. I'm impressed with the way fire burns away delusion. If you have a problem with romanticising things or people or are full of narcissistic grandiosities fire appears to handle that. One could waste one's whole life wandering around in a fantasy world. It's good there's a treatment for that. I...

This is so funny, I had to share!

... million (including marketing), the movie is being deemed one of the worst commerical failures OF ALL TIME! Yes, I am partial to thinking this is exceptionally funny as I greatly dislike Emile Hirsch, his romanticising portrayal of a frickin' idiot in In To The Wild I deemed unacceptable (it even tarnished my view of Sean Penn- no matter how many little brothers you have in the movie The Lost ...

Is indie these days rubbish?

...'m starting to wonder if I'm being too harsh on the little My Chemical Romance emo children. At least they're still able to feel passionate about their music. Though it could be that I'm just romanticising my upbringing, and conveniently forgetting about Northern Uproar, Terris, Powder and Shed Seven: not so much in the "where are they now" pile as the "who gives a fuck" bin. So, today's poll ...
