Ms Holiday and my man.

You can so much as cry listening to how sad and sincere this song is. After loving a person for so long, I guess you just get addicted to the pain. No metacycles or reaction mechanisms can account for it.


May we both find peace, Billie Holiday.

Green Grass

Female rendition of the brilliant Tom Waits' song handled with much grace. Just beautiful.

Bye bye Easter:(

You'll know when I am overloaded with assignments when I start blogging again. Ha.

Very captivating introduction. Sort of like Jones'.

The rest of the pages though, I better not comment on or speak of. Unless of course, you'd be willing accept the challenge.

Craving..

Screw the crazy weather. Spring calls for a bit of colour, regardless of the endless rain and hailing.

I'm a size 7 :)

Mooning

I wouldn't lie to you and say that I haven't been very dispirited lately. :( I couldn't think of a better booster than a good cup of coffee and a doze of artful photography with Astrud Gilberto singing in the background.

Some of my favourites:

Thank you EnglishMuse for brightening up my day. I am your new fan:)

Joyce Carol Oates

Writer of "We Were the Mulvaneys", which became a best-selling novel after being selected by Oprah's Book Club. Isn't she pretty?

My apologies. I think I might have expressed some negativism about the story in my previous post. I just realized that the theme, the plot, and the background of the story fit its purpose, as it reminds us that even the most perfect of families or person could be challenged and are vulnerable to failure. Something like Chinua Achebe's "Things fall apart". Brilliant work, really. Looking forward to reading your other novels:)
