hello, there's nothing like a name check to encourage me to post. throw in the fact that it's exam period and this post is pretty much inevitable. CONTENTED or GIVE IT A BREAK I listened to Fold Your Hands... last night for the first time in 6 months or so. I think it's a fantastic record. Apart from a few vocal parts the songs are so beautifully constructed. I even sang (or should that be breathed?) along to Beyond the Sunrise. I am going to try and not listen to albums for 6 months or so more often. INCONTINENCE or HOW TO BE IN STYLE I got myself a copy of the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association recently. It tells you how to write journal articles properly, how to use non-discriminative language, how to present data etc... It is fantastic! I haven't been this excited about a book since the twist ending in The Very Hungry Caterpillar (I was sure it was either bulimic or a stoner. Is this a book we really want the chldren of today to be reading - the theme is basically that you can eat and eat and eat, and you end up becoming a beautiful butterfly. Is it any wonder about 50% of Western society is overweight?). EXCHANGING TAPES This is the last call for the OZ/NZ Tape Exchange. So far we have myself, Alex, Nathan, Shellie and Trixie. Email me if you want to send and receive some beautifully packaged music. WE RULE THE KITCHEN The Sinister Recipe Tree continues to roll along at it's own infrequent pace. There are lots of recipes now - look: http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/sinifood/ Email me if you'd like to join. REACHING FOR THE CLOUDS Last night I dreamt I was on a hill. Wait, there's more. A cloud came floating past, and I reached out for it and pulled it from the sky. It was like a big ball of cotton wool. I showed the other people in my dream but they weren't very interested. I reached inside the cloud and tried to find the water, but there didn't seem to be any. terry PS Up with the fantastic corporation that is Jimbo! --- here's what i think: http://naivetysucceeds.blogspot.com ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
