…how much I love e.e.cummings’ poetry?
I thought I might have. Well, it’s worth repeating. I mean, I love Shakespeare, I love Dorothy Parker, I even enjoy the occasional romantic, but the only poet who can give me the shivers (literally) from “mere” wordsmithery is e.e.cummings.
I just thought you ought to know.

I film nummer to, som har fått tittelen “Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason”, skal hovedpersonen kaste seg ut i et lite lesbisk forhold.
“Norske” Zellweger skal ha utdelt en rekke lidenskapelige kyss med den australske skuespillerinnen Jacinda Barrett på filmsettet i London, skriver World Entertainment News Network.
Og hvilken bok er det manusforfatterene har lest? At de har kalt filmen “Edge of Reason” skulle jo tilsi at de muligens har tatt en titt på bok nummer to, men man kan jo lure. Kanskje de nøyde seg med coveret?
I’ve been doing some serious tidying today. Amongst other things I emptied the closet-cum-broomcupboard out completely and have been sorting through the contents. I have several big piles of “junk” now, some going in the garbage, some in the paper recycling receptacles and some to charity shops.
It feels good to have gotten this far, problem, of course, is I’m not done yet. At the moment it certainly doesn’t look like I’ve been tidying, it looks as if a bomb has hit the place (more so than usual). And on Saturday my parents are coming for dinner (there will be haggis. Mmmmm) and so I really need to get everything in order by then. Oh well, one more evening and most of Saturday to do it in, I guess.

I’ve uploaded some pictures from the ball on Friday to the gallery. Unfortunately, they all seem to have measles. I think I need to clean the lens…
Yesterday’s Monday Mission:
1. Those paper toilet seat covers in public bathrooms, do you use them?
Unless the toilet seems particularly unclean, no.
2. What is on your Christmas Wish List for Santa to bring?
See the Christmas wish list entry.
3. In the month of November, Brian wrote over 50,000 words on his novel and is nearing completion. What did you accomplish in the month of November?
Not much. That’s not a very good answer, is it? I wrote a demo version of a data import which, if successful, might be used by most of NATO one day – is that an accomplishment?
4. Have you ever snuck into someplace that you shouldn’t have? Tell me about that.
Probably. The only place I can think of right now is an old abandoned house that used to stand just across the road from my school (they’ve torn it down now). It was creepy, but I think we probably made it more creepy than it really was.
5. Do you recall the first internet meme you participated in? How did you come to find out about it? Do you still participate? Why or why not?
I think the Friday Five was the first one I did regularly, and still do. Someone who’s blog I read regularly, though I can’t remember who, had done it one week and I just sort of kept going with it. It’s a good one.
6. Do you have any favorite internet or “streaming” radio programs or music channels you wish were available in your car or on a portable radio?
Nope. Haven’t started using internet channels yet.
7. Ever been skinny dipping? What’s the story there?
Yep. Staying up at the cabin during summer the only way to wash is to go swimming in one of the nearby lakes or ponds – and you can’t really wash while wearing a swimsuit, now, can you?
I found the right drawer. And it was actually physical rather than digital – I had to get to the back of the cupboard to find my advent star and there, too, was a sheet of paper tucked away in a folder labelled “Dikt” (i.e. Poems). Reading through it again I find it’s better than I remembered it to be.
We’ve had a bit of a troll on the nmwl pages since yesterday. Well, when I say “a bit of a troll” what I really mean is a troll, but a fairly toothless and not very scary one. It looked like it might get ugly for a while, but then the troll seems to have thought better of it.
In the meantime, the hullaballoo made me go looking for ip-tracing tools and I found this page. Their domain dossier gives me all the information I need and correctly located my ip from home which a few of the others I’ve tried have located as “Sweden” (which is disconcerting. When did we get annexed? Why has no one told me?).
I have no idea who’s the source of this, but I laughed…
It’s Buy Nothing Day today. Oops. Seems I’ve already goofed up on that one. Does second-hand items count?
