A few observations

Yes, yes, a distinct lack of blogging of late. Been feeling slightly lifeless recently, that's all. A few observations, comments, and things I've seen from the past weeks...



  • an eight year old girl wearing bright red lipstick and lighting a cigarette, giving me what I believe is called 'attitude' when I looked at her open mouthed.
  • fluorescent green lilos should be given to everyone at birth. The world would be a happier place.
  • Antal Szerb should be read in his entirety by all.
  • where have the Sebastians of Oxford gone? Despite everyone thinking they are one, nobody is. They aren't even a Charles or an Antony Blanche. When did the soul become an optional extra?
  • why are all men incapable of making competent decisions regarding appropriate garments for swimming?
  • Facebook and Ferraris are over-rated.
  • home-grown tomatoes are the way forwards in the world.
  • why would anybody choose to live in a city? To be subjected to the chaos and the noise, the anger and the mad panic for survival?
  • it isn't possible to make-over three rooms in sixty minutes, whatever the television tries to convince me each day.
  • haircuts are too expensive. Avocadoes are over-priced. Dentists charge indecent prices. Life is rapidly becoming unaffordable.

Which leads me to my new year's ambition (a new year, starting from July. Well, why not - there is the academic year starting in September, this will be the Jane year starting in July). Specifically: win the lottery.

I will return to your screens shortly with a rant to reaffirm my existence as genuinely crabby blogger. Meanwhile - patience, grasshopper.
