so... who got marc for christmas?

show/tell us what you scored!

Please send your Dr. Who-watching friends over here to tell me if I can just jump into the most recent series (which is what I want to do, because it turns out any time David Tennant and Catherine Tate are in the same room, I fucking DIE OF HAPPINESS, and by the way, if she's actually the WORST COMPANION EVAR!!! or some shit, and you're currently composing a long and eloquent comment to notify me of this fact, just stop. Turn back now. Don't even bother. Let me live with my blissful ignorance) or if I have to go back and watch other stuff first.

Thx.

Love,

not that i've really exerted a considerable amount of energy towards finding them. i like my lucky strike blues just fine anyway.

'home' has been playin' on my mind in recent history, not because i'm sick for it but because the word doesn't really exist in french.

the concept, therefore, is not exactly universal, which is a peculiar notion.

this is my hometown ["Madtown, Dairyland"]:


this is where i'm crashing currently [Paris]:


and i like to think i nurse some sort of spiritual connection with this place [Berlin]:


where are you from (originally, currently and spiritually)?

I was recently remembering my friend Sarah, who used to put stickers on practically *everything*. She had one of those huge see-through tabletop Mac's and it was *decked out* in awesome stickers she got at gigs, random New York stores, and what not (cool Azn friends...etc)

So show me your laptops (or cellys). (Hey, a nerd has to get her kicks! And I don't mean Nike's!)



PIC#1: I'm a minimalist, and this Rough Trade sticker, that I got from some cool lesbians in London ('cause I bought Crass's album "Penis Envy") is on my Burberryesque Nokia E63. Sadly, my laptop [a Toshiba sattelite series] is bare (but used to have a ninja turles -specifically Rafael- sticker).

PIC#2: random laptop that I googled

This January, I'm travelling to Stockholm, Oslo, Brussels and Bruges with a friend. In hindsight, it might've been a smarter move to book a trip to Scandinavia during warmer months, but you know what happens when opportunity knocks!

If you live in/have visited the aforementioned cities: Do you have any tips as to what types of clothing/accessories I must pack, amazing(ly cheap) places to eat and drink and other can't-miss things to do and see? This will be my, and my friend's, first time to these cities so our game plan is to arrive and just fly by the seat of our pants!

And so this post isn't simply a travel question, I leave you with a gift I mailed to a friend who is spending the year teaching in Korea:

( Shake it like you mean it )

Thanks for your help!

Here's a book I'm pretty excited about:

The summary for Kraken sounds really intriguing too:

The Natural History Museum’s prize exhibit – a giant squid – suddenly disappears. This audacious theft leads Clem, the research scientist who has recently finished preserving the exhibit, into a dark urban underworld of warring cults and surreal magic. It seems that for some, the squid represents a god and should be worshiped as such. Clem gradually comes to realise that someone may be attempting to use the squid to trigger an apocalypse. And so it is now up to him and a renegade squid-worshiper named Dean to find a way of stopping the destruction of the world as they know it whilst themselves surviving the all out-gang warfare that they have unwittingly been drawn into…

A squid to trigger an apocalypse? Should Watchmen be jealous?

On the days I get down about myself and my writing, I like to turn to Mieville's work for comfort. It reminds me that it is okay to be weird, to be unconventional, to take chances and try things that most might not get at first glance. Surprisingly, the U.K. version is not as powerful as the above, dropping subtlety for the absurd. Either way, despite not being the next New Crobuzon adventure...DO WANT.

Dear LiveJournal,

All I want this year for Christmas is for you to stop eating my formatting.

With love and paragraph breaks,
Paul

Hello! My name is Ivana Stab. I’ll be 21 in February. I live in a middle-of-nowhere suburb, but thankfully it is located in Sydney. I’ll be starting my year of Honours early in 2010 to wrap up a Bachelor of Arts (Politics and International Relations). I make perzines and fanzines and sometimes write CD and gig reviews for various websites. Mostly I chain-smoke in Hyde Park and talk incessantly.

Once upon a time, I visited Livejournal religiously. Then it became a bit of a ghost town but I realised recently I really miss it. I’ve met lots of amazing people through this website; some of those people have become good friends of mine “in real life”. I discovered many of my interests and musical loves by stumbling upon them on Livejournal. I’m hoping things will become a bit more lively here so it’d be nice to meet some new people, hence this introductory post.

( you’re not punk & I’m telling everyone )
