Ode to a Nightingale My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk, Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk:

Desperate Romantics

Lady Godiva

After buying and washing my hair with the gorgeous solid shampoo Godiva, I was intrigued as to the story of Lady Godiva. She was married to the Earl of Mercia, who wanted to create even higher taxes. She plead with her husband to lower the taxes. He agreed on the condition that she would ride through the streets of Coventry with nothing but her flowing locks to clothe her. She announced tat all villagers must stay indoors, with shutters across the windows as she rode through. However one townsman, a tailor named tom, was watching through a small hole he carved into his shutter. he was struck blind at the sight of her, hence the term 'Peeping Tom'.

Art Project: Layers of Meaning

I got my FIRST EVER SLR film developed about 2 weeks ago and can't believe I still haven't written about it. The pictures came out so much better than I thought they would. Some I thought were going to be good were terrible, and the majority I'd forgotten I'd taken,but looked pretty good. i love that the process takes timem, and isn't instant. There's so much more satisfaction and excitement in sending off the film and getting back yoour pictures to see how they've turned out. It also means you are a bit more limited in the pictures taken. Which can only be a good thing for me. Here are the digital photos for my art exam project titled 'Layers of meaning'. Sarah and Cindy kindly stood in my back garden in the freezing cold to model for me.
