The Doctors are In.

spooky

My 8 year old cousins Grandfather passed away a couple of nights ago. We got a text message last night, from an unfamiliar number. A picture message. A picture of the dead man, in his coffin, from the dead mans own phone. My 8 year old cousin had inherited the phone and decided to play around with it, and decided we needed to see a dead stranger in the coffin.

Sweet Mumblings

Tales of Insomnia

"By one in the morning day is not ended, by two he is scared and sleep is no friend, and by four he will drink but cannot feel it, sleep will not come because sleep does not will it and I dont believe him.
Morning is mocking me.

I'll wander the streets avoiding them eats until the ring on my finger slips to the ground.
A gift to the gutter, a gift to the city the veins of which have broken me down.
And I dont believe him, morning is mocking me."

Laura Marling - My Manic & I

Daihei Shibata: The Light Of Life




This is quite an aesthetically pleasing video which I 'borrowed' from my new favourite website Lost at E Minor.

It represents life, its transparency, its tendency to change frequently, and its just mesmerising.

Word of the Day

"The big problem when you're an artist is that the times of creation don't come often. Most of the time I stay here in my studio and groan, and after that I go to my room, look at the TV"

Pretty Boy

Andrej Pejic is the new model hitting the headlines. With the bone structure of Kate Moss, Andrej is appearing regularly in magazine spreads. Something to note though, Andrej is a dude. I think the eyebrows on the bottom picture are the only thing that gives him away. Other than that he had me fooled. I can't decide if he's beautiful or freaky.

"then somebody laughs like it’s all just for hell
as though we could not be saved from the depth of the well
but the cloth that i make is a cloth you can sell
to pay for the gossamer seed"

French Boys

How come the majority of French Boys are beautiful? Just finished watching the First Day of the Rest of Your Life, so many beautiful people. This guy was particularly aesthetically pleasing, Marc-André Grondin.

*These pics don't do him justice at all. Watch the movie. Also, there is one scene, where he has his hair in a bun, yeah, just ignore that one.


The other brother was just magnificent altogether. Even the father had something about him.
