Hemingway has summed up how I'm feeling about my doctorate application at the moment, I have no idea if what I'm doing is right but I sure am convincing myself that's where my life will be!
I fell hard for him the other day when watching Midnight in Paris:
Then I find this piece of prose written by Woody Allen three years ago, it must have been when he was writing Midnight in Paris. If ever there was a poster boy for being a never ending dreamer I imagine him to be it, for all his flaws he's not a man for realism and compromise and I think that's to be commended.
Anyway I was reading about Hemingway and retelling just how much I fell in love with him in an email whilst finishing off a mix for someone ( I truly am a child of the Internet). It helped me to decide that the mix should be one filled with things to help you take on another day. Here it is.
"How lovely yellow is! It stands for the sun"
I've totally done that thing where you pick something up and become wired when you're really tired. I also had a nap on the bus back like I usually do so this too doesn't help when wanting to sleep at a normal time.
Anyway, it's world book day tomorrow and I could tell you about all the things related with school that I've been doing but instead I'd like to share this:
I don't have books about decorating or design but this was just one of those Ikea specials that I picked up in haste a few years ago because I liked the pictures. Then when I looked closer I found it to be so much more, in it was a poster saying "do you think it'll brighten up later?" and I guess I fell in love with it then. There's also a quote from Van Gogh about yellow and lists, it was perfect coffee table reading for one and I'm sure it could be just as perfect for more than one.
I found it again today when going through a dusty box of books and it's been nice to meet this old pal once more. Books are special like that.
p.s. I also now finally own a Soko record! No more downloads and youtube videos! I've said this already but there's another pal from the past.
p.p.s. I adore Kathleen Edwards. If Soko's played in the background of my years 19-24 I imagine Kathleen Edwards could be 24-29:

"to the monkey's nest"
Sometimes you have to stop working your bum off and reorder your ipod and its playlists for the mornings ahead. It's all about prioritising!
"Expounding enthusiastically on everyday wonders"
I just came across this from Lizzy Stewart's Diary, it's so brilliant and it's nice to see I'm not the only one going through a haphazard existence!
Tonight this one rings truer than ever:
