Me, myself & #instagram
I’ve been forced to explain homosexuality to my kids (aged 3 and 4) because their uncle is gay. This incredibly difficult and traumatic experience went as follows:
Child: Why does Uncle Bob go everywhere with Pete?
Me: Because they’re in love, just like Mummy and Daddy are.
Child: Oh. Can I have a biscuit?
We’re all scarred for life. Scarred, I tell you.

Jessie Ware - Running
I was ecstatic to see a new video by Jessie Ware. I first heard about her when I randomly found the song ‘Valentine’ by Jessie Ware and Sampha on the OVOXO blog and instantly fell in LOVE. Since then Jessie Ware has been featured on songs…
Love this song.
The Very Best reunite for SUPER MOM, a new mixtape by the Radioclit boys and Esau in celebration of Mothers Day. It features new songs and re-interpretations of Kate Bush, Kanye West, LCD Soundsytem, etc. Download their version of Running Up That Hill below and grab the whole thing over here. The video for What Part Of Forever can be viewed below as well.
Rough, rough, rough take on the new song.
I lost my microphone. So totally don’t listen to this if fuzziness bothers you. The vocals are also not superb; my allergies have been kicking my ass lately.
The one thing I wrote that makes me cringe the most.
i don’t want to wear the pants
i want to wear a dress,
flowing
feminine
free
i am a girl, after all.
don’t get me wrong -
I love wearing pants
and giving off the appearance
of the strong woman that I am
without the pants on.
because
I don’t need the pants
but I’d like a man to fit into them
I am a woman, after all.
Lyrics to new song.
Working Title: Sea Level
.
I’d like another way out
I’d like another way
Because everything I’ve worked for
It seems meaningless today
.
I could have given it my all
I could have done better
I could have given you my all
I could have been better
.
How much time is wasted
Dwelling on what I’ve done wrong
Maybe If I tried to face it
I would be different
.
I’m too young to be old
Too old to be young
That ship has sailed; that train has passed
And it’s a long time waiting for the next one
.
I could have given it my all
I could have done better
I could have given you my all
I could have been better
.
You could have given me fair warning
Now the water’s reached my neck
Standing on an empty train track
Waiting on a lifesaver or death
.
And I could stop now
I could give up
Raise my hands
But that would hurt too much

Fan-damn-tastic. I am going to rent this movie ASAP.

…and because I can’t pick one quote, here are four:
A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.
~ Oscar Wilde
All art is quite useless.
~ Oscar Wilde
Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.
~ Oscar Wilde
The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it’s dead for you.
~ Oscar Wilde
