Ouch

After burning myself for the twelve hundredth time, why the fuck do people have stainless steel kettles? 
They conduct heat to hand a little too well..

Lust List


Three things for a Tuesday,

The Book,
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly











This is possibly the most astonishing book I have ever read, or ever will read. It concerns the ‘Locked in’ fate of Mr. Bauby the then editor in chief of the French ‘elle’ its beautifully written given that Bauby composed each paragraph and sentence perfectly in his mind before painstakingly blinking out each letter. Not a single word seems out of place, nor can it afford too.

The sad tale of Bauby will stay with me not least because the authors stroke then subsequent condition looms large as my greatest fear (well perhaps second after going blind, and spiders) but the haunting last words ‘I’ll be off now..’


The Film,
Waltz with Bashir











An incredibly animated story of a solider trying to remember what he did during war.


The Item,
Areaware Alarm Dock







 This is perhaps the coolest thing I have ever seem, I really, really want.
