About Me

My photo
I am often described as quirky and eclectic. I certainly do have a pretty broad sense of music, fashion, book and film taste. Depends where the mood takes me. One week I might be feeling rather 50's and listen to broadway musicals and drink neat rum watching old movies . Sometimes I am feeling 70s and will listen to Jimi Hendrix and wear flowers in my hair. I have a penchant for 70s/80s rock, musical numbers, jazz and folk, reading poetry and drinking wine and sometimes hard liquor. I do enjoy a lucky strike though often I am on the tobacco. I think I am a hippy, country girl at heart and love to be in the natural world, I love walking barefoot, hugging trees and lying in long grass. I love dancing in the rain and swimming in the sea and rivers. I like to spend my time devouring books, buying postcards, writing letters, looking around bookshops, watching films, listening to music, going on walks, a nice glass of wine, cooking, writing poetry and short stories, doing mad dancing and making people happy. I also love to sleep.

Books galore!

I was very naughty and bought some books despite being pretty broke. So cannot resist a good book though, especially when cheap on amazon! I bought Poems of New York and Love Speaks Its Name from Everyman's Pocket poems. Both sound like really good anthology's. Poems of New York funnily enough is a collection of poems about NY. The jazz clubs, diners, bohemia, broadway and so on and Love Speaks Its Name is a collection of poems about gay and lesbian love. I could become addicted and buy the whole library. There are about ten others I want! 

I also got an amazing book on James Dean with loads of pictures from his families collection. I have wanted it for ages but I couldn't afford it and then there it was on amazon for about a fiver! It arrived today and is beauteous! I am so going to peruse it in my lunch break! I have just started reading a biography on him, only read a page but it looks a lot better than the previous one I owned, Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Paul Alexander. It was basically a good book except the bits which were like an erotic voyeur porno. I would like to know how he knew the sexual habits of James Dean when as far as I am aware no one has really spoken that in depth on them. Anyway this one James Dean The Mutant King by David Dalton will hopefully be much better. 

Musicals and rum tonight! I think High Society and maybe Beauty and The Beast! Lovely.
