The Carrie Diaries.

The Carrie Diaries has been around for almost a year now, but we are currently in the middle of series 2. I love it, it is basically a prequel to sex in the city, about Carrie when she was about 17. It is very light hearted and has a pretty gentle story line, but for some reason I cant really get enough of it. 

It is set in the 80's and there is quite a lot of emphasis on the clothes from back then which I find quite interesting...

The trailer...

Watch it on The CW on Fridays.

Hope you like.

POP!

Poetic much.

Brick lane- Emily and Ces

White phosphorus, white phosphorus,

mechancial snow,

where are you falling?

I am falling impartially on roads and roofs,

on bamboo thickets, on people.

My name recalls rich seas on rainy nights,

each drop that hits the surface eliciting

luminous response from a million algae.

My name is a whisper of sequins. Ha!

Each of them is a disk of fire,

I am the snow that burns.

                                     I fall

wherever men send me to fall–

but I prefer flesh, so smooth, so dense:

I decorate it in black, and seek

the bone.

Overheard over S.E. Asia BY Denise Levertov

Yesterday was poetry day at school. This was the poem I picked out of the hat. Turns out its about white phosphorus gas which is like really deadly and burns through skin and bone. It is used in wars sometimes. This is what this poem is about. It is beautiful, but also so dark and horrid at the same time. I have kind of learnt to love it now though as I feel I must have chosen this one for a reason.

Hope you like.

A State of Solitude.

Life has been pretty horrid lately. I don't want to bore you with my mental aches and pains. Don't worry, this will not be a virtual counselling  session. Instead I want to share with you some rather radical epiphanies I have encountered in the past few weeks. 

Just to give you some background info I go to a boarding school, which I hate. I am trapped in a valley where the only thing that I see when I look around are cows and trees. This you could say is nice, what more could you want, but believe me, when you are trapped here for weeks without seeing normal civilisation it begins to haunt you. There is even a pupil diagnosis for this which we call "Valley fever". I spend my life just merely existing like a mushroom, everything is planned, there is no spontaneity and I can actually feel my insides collapsing and suffocating. 

To try to overcome this I have tried many pass times over the years for example scrap books, taking photos, learning new instruments, writing a book, even smoking. 

Now getting to the point, I had a crazy epiphany the other day. I am going to make a film. Not a random 10 minuet wonder, I am thinking the full hour and a half viewing. It is rather exciting. I am basing it on a novel I am writing, which is essentially about my idealised life, but of course I can't give away the plot because you might be able to see it for your self when it is completed. 

Now changing the topic, I bought some new clothes the other day...

Skirt- Vintage 

Top- Uniqlo

Necklace- made by me

Shirt- Vintage

So I was looking at film inspiration and watched this film today called Ginger and Rosa, I have to say I did really enjoy it but it is only really good for a depressing mood, but here is the trailer...

Anyway thats enough for now.

Hope you like.

MS MR

Now that I am back at school I have little to do with my life but to try and keep in touch with the outside world. This has lead me to trawling the net for new artists and cool people to distract me from boring things such as work. So anyway the other day I found this band called MS MR. I don't know if you have ever heard of them, I sure hadn't, but they seem pretty cool. Their first album came out in May this year and is called "Secondhand Rapture". Anyway here are a couple of their songs so you can have a listen...

Hurricane.

Fantasy.

Think of you.

Hope you like.
