x_los* http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/apr/09/ethical-living?intcmp=239 This sort of proves to me that the English middle class has no concept of frugality, *really*. Yammering about crust sandwiches aside, it's a bit pitiful how he doesn't precisely know how to make money stretch, and that he has no notion of the irony of making dinner with something like pine-nuts from his well-stocked pantry during this experiment. I mean he's a bit aware of the issues of having a pantry, and of his partner buying groceries, but the SUPER EXPENSIVE PINE NUT thing just woooshes past him.
* First Listen: Kate Bush, '50 Words For Snow': http://www.npr.org/2011/11/13/142133269/first-listen-kate-bush-50-words-for-snow?ps=mh_frhdl1
**AVAILABLE ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME, CHECK OUT QUICKLY IF YOU CARE**
* Piece on relative/subjective time: http://www.npr.org/blogs/13.7/2011/11/08/142118441/is-time-an-illusion-from-the-buddha-to-brian-greene
* Mez's tumblr is always v. pretty: http://littlemoonlet.tumblr.com/
* Please enjoy the ridiculous late 90s synth metal piece of shit that is the new 8th Doctor theme:
Kind of embarrassed for them right now. It's the new "Adventure Is My Name."
* Will only have a feeling about the Who movie if and when it's actually done, with a firm 'coming out' date. Finding it increasingly hard to care about it in wake of Moffat. A retcon's a bit dumb, and an attempt to follow the New canon's a bit dumb--ultimately I don't think this canon's very filmic, esp. not the sort of film they seem to want to make. Whatever, no one's world's been ruined by the Cushing movies or the TVM. I don't want it because I don't think it's a sound idea, but if that sort of logic meant anything, the last two seasons of sad wtfery wouldn't have been made. Maybe there'd be more people in fandom, idk. I don't really want to *become* part of a uber-fandom, tbh. A bit more activity, sure.
