Nirvana

So here we are 20 years later.  Really?

 "Even though you couldn't quite tell what he was singing about, you knew it was intense as hell."^[ Butch Vig


It doesn't seem that long since the tape kept getting mangled in my car stereo.  Good times. 
This was my fave off that album

One Vampire to rule them all

Oh Johnny. 

Tim Burton + Johnny Depp = Dark Shadows, the movie.  Awesome

RIP, REM

R.E.M
we sure had some good times, some sad times, some pensive, quiet, moving moments

Country Feedback.  My fave

Why Gwyneth?

Gwyneth!  What are you wearing?

Why did you choose this for the Emmy's of all places? 
Crop top?  Fail
Nude coloured lining? Fail
Sprayed on abs? Fail

Worst dressed, surely.  Look out Fashion Police!

Brad tells it like it is

Oh Jennifer !  Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!

Brad says it was a 'pretend' marriage!

This is going to set Jennifer back years!  Watch this space....

I love you Jeff Tweedy

This is why I love Jeff Tweedy.

Just proving that he can sing anything.
Rules.

Perfect, Paul Simon

Paul Simon at Ground Zero today.  Perfect.


"Although we can never un-see what happened here, we can also see that children who lost their parents have grown into young adults, grandchildren have been born and good works and public service have taken root to honor those we loved and lost."

- Mayor Michael Bloomberg, National September 11th Memorial ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of the attacks at the World Trade Center, Sunday, Sept. 11, 2011, in New York.

The names of all 2,983 victims of the attacks in New York City, the Pentagon, and Pennsylvania have been etched in bronze into black stone surrounding two reflecting pools in the footprints of the Twin Towers.

My TV Crush

Kristoffer Polaha
or Nate Basel from my fave show Life Interrupted.  I love this show.  I don't know whether its because the lead is a radio girl like me (which you very rarely see on telly), or  the unrequited love affair between Baze, Kate and Lux.  Either way, I'm hooked.     Its sort of got the suggestion that your high school crush or first love could actually end up being your soul mate.  I'm not so sure about that, but I do have an ongoing deep affection for my first ever bad boy who taught me how to blow smoke rings and bought me my first ever zippo - even though we haven't seen each other for nearly ten years.  I think of him often.  
And then sometimes your life does get interrupted.  There's the guy who your life unintentionally collides with at a moment in time, and you're left making choices you hadn't expected to and your pendulum swings,  suddenly,  way off course.  It has a massive ripple effect on your future, you may not know it at the time, but you will recognise its power, years later.    Some times things happen in life and you sort of have a sliding door moment with someone where things could have turned out either way.  And sometimes if you look closely (or want to) you can sort of see exactly how your life would have played out if you had made different choices or chosen that  path.  I still think of him often too.

Here's Harper shopping!

How gorgeous is Harper?  Check out her chubby little cheeks.  And all that hair!

Here she is  out shopping with Mummy (who's back to a size 4 - she runs on the treadmill every day - is this possible after a C section?).

VB's slipped a disc cos she couldn't give up the  Louboutin's while carrying.  And now she's doomed to flat shoes while out shopping.  She kinda looks weird in them. 

The Midi - so not sexy!

The maxi?  check
The mini?  check

The Midi?  No!  Definitely not!  Why, why, why?
You see this is why I hate fashion sometimes...

This summer's hottest skirt length.  Really?  Its so unflattering.  Nanna-ish.  Nasty!

Get those calves in shape ladies!
