http://elbowroom1.blogspot.com/2006/03/johnny-norms-whimsical-tour-of-web.html

Wearing out biros in the name of self-expression. Wednesday, March 15, 2006. Johnny Norms' Whimsical Tour of the Web. You can certainly get very pleasantly lost in Coconino World. So maybe try a few highlights:. And then choose Muñoz from the list on the left-hand side). Find it at the Village. Choose Josépé, then choose Le Dirigeabe). Then there’s Peggy Adam’s beautiful observations and reflections of people and places Tibet, Cambodia, Gaudeloupe included. Her visions are sensuous and dreamlike....A rol...

"Who wants cake?": The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

http://zakiauddin.blogspot.com/2009/10/prime-of-miss-jean-brodie.html

Saturday, October 3, 2009. The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. James Woods on The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Her brilliantly reduced style, of "never apologise, never explain", seems a deliberate provocation: we feel compelled to turn the mere crescents of her characters into round discs.

"Who wants cake?": Take Care of Yourself

http://zakiauddin.blogspot.com/2009/11/take-care-of-yourself.html

Tuesday, November 10, 2009. Take Care of Yourself. I caught her exhibition at Whitechapel Gallery last week. Felt like I had read the equivalent of a novella by the time I left - so much text, part of the art, but not actually written by her. In fact, got overwhelmed with reading and will return to read/see(? Also, perhaps the emotional labour of interpreting such letters is counterbalanced by the actual 'labour' that the women do in their respective professions every day? Posted by Unexpected Songs.

Untitled #23: November 2009

http://untitledtwentythree.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

High Culture - Low Culture - Horticulture. Monday, 30 November 2009. Like A Bad Tempered Badger. But tomorrow is the 1st December and thus the beginning of a little thing called 100 Days to Make a better person. Which, thanks to the tweets of the marvellous Josie Long. So there we go - 30,000 words of my meandering rambles to come - isn't the internet lucky. Thursday, 5 November 2009. A word cloud based on an extended essay that I wrote as part of my degree coursework:. Wednesday, 4 November 2009. Of cou...

Bad British Architecture: HERNE BAY REGENERATION IN KENT BY CLAGUE ARCHITECTS FOR DENNE AND COPLAN ESTATES

http://badbritisharchitecture.blogspot.com/2010/04/herne-bay-regeneration-in-kent-by.html

This aggression will not stand. Friday, 9 April 2010. HERNE BAY REGENERATION IN KENT BY CLAGUE ARCHITECTS FOR DENNE AND COPLAN ESTATES. This is the kind of thing you do when you don't want anyone to think the buildings are going to be too good, because the developer might then actually have to build something of high quality. Keep it vague lads, and stick a hot air balloon in it - that always makes people feel like we're down with whole seasidey, public space vibe.". 9 April 2010 at 18:50. Lets just say ...

"Who wants cake?": September 2009

http://zakiauddin.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 27, 2009. Fleetingly observed, and probably devoid of significance. 1An utterly pointless Guardian. Article in the form of an appreciation escalation, which is a really bad description made up by me. I just read a feature on Abigail's Party. And the Qu'ran if they happened to be made up simultaneously'. 2 Wine related metaphors should be banned. I noticed on the copy of Metropolitan. Posted by Unexpected Songs.

"Who wants cake?": December 2009

http://zakiauddin.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Saturday, December 19, 2009. The series' excellent mix of film pastiche, uncritical depiction of teenage life (drugs, etc), and adventurous storylines (in the context of tv) make it seem really modern.the only thing that makes all this almost meaningless is the absolute misogyny in the depiction of the female characters. Even the minor female characters are similarly afflicted. Posted by Unexpected Songs. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Sites Which Give Me More Things to Want to See and Do. The Joy of Baking.

"Who wants cake?": Some vaguely feminist ramblings AND Olay say (Don't) Love the Skin You're In

http://zakiauddin.blogspot.com/2009/10/some-vaguely-feminist-ramblings.html

Saturday, October 3, 2009. Some vaguely feminist ramblings AND Olay say (Don't) Love the Skin You're In. Will stitching a piece of aida fabric with 'FUCK YOU' help me understand global warming? Okay, I know that feminists have been reclaiming embroidery, knitting etc for several years and it's been a trope used by female poets (Don't put up my Thread and Needle - I'll begin to Sew- When the Birds begin to whistle - Better Stitches - so - .) but I think NOW, in 2009, it seems slightly regressive to ce...

"Who wants cake?": October 2009

http://zakiauddin.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Tuesday, October 13, 2009. Reminded me about Paris Syndrome, which has afflicted over 6 million people. I can't quite believe it, even though it's been documented by actual serious academics, mostly because it sounds like the most postmodern illness ever: "This place doesn't look anything like on the internet, or in the guidebooks, or in films! It's failed my expectations by being nothing like I imagined it to be purely on the basis of representations of it in the media! It's so gritty you'll turn mental!
