Hotels should have this...

If only just to spook guests out... I would have them in my home if not for that:

  1. I hate cleaning
  2. I hate fish
  3. Bored goldfish + Electric Toothbrush probably do not = joy

My dream home will have one of these!!

Resisting temptation to have a "things I would buy if I had the spare cash lying around in wads frivolously" tumblr blog, my dream home must definitely have one of these unfortunately named Suck UK's slide displays...

Oh, and I wouldn't mind the cat thrown in for free with the sofa too!

Not Tonight, Josephine

Josephine Deux
Josephine Deux,
originally uploaded by metaphoric.
Every now and then an expression and a form coalesces into such a clarity that it begs articulation.

Evocate.

Put the music on, load Mosaic Maker, type one word onto Flickr's Search.

Pick your cherries. Stick them like jotter book collages that you used to do.

Except post them back online, the sum more than its parts, drawing emotions from music, from images, from flashes of synapses firing in close sequence.

Add poetry. Add lyrics.

I ask you to listen to Josephine by Tori Amos while you look at this collage.

Gasp at the delicate nature of her beauty, wrought from the work of hands. And wait.
