“I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.
What it do when it pissed off? I ast.
Oh, it make something else. People think pleasing God is all God care about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.”

But what do it look like? I ast.
Don’t look like nothing, she say. It ain’t a picture show. It ain’t something you can look at apart from anything else, including yourself. I believe God is everything, say Shug. Everything that is or ever was or ever will be. And when you can feel that, and be happy to feel that, you’ve found it.”

Good Girl... Stays Good

Rihanna has said no to ever posing nude for Playboy. Although I wished she had given a better excuse for refusing - she said her mum would kill her if she did it - I am pleased she said no… maybe more will follow her example?

Extras Dig at Reality TV

Fri, 28 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000

I watched the finale of Extras last night, & although it wasn’t the best episode I’ve seen, I loved Andy Millman’s (Ricky Gervais) dig at Big Brother & other reality crap. He likened those kinds of programmes to Victorian freakshows & said that they were the kind of programmes where you “hand in your dignity at the door”. Too right!

Turning Darkness into Light

Sat, 14 Jul 2007 22:57:08 +0100

I and Pangur Bán my cat
‘Tis a like task we are at:
Hunting mice is his delight,
Hunting words I sit all night.

Better far than praise of men
‘Tis to sit with book and pen;
Pangur bears me no ill will
He too plies his simple skill.

Oftentimes a mouse will stray
In the hero Pangur’s way;
Oftentimes my keen thought set
Takes a meaning in its net.

‘Gainst the wall he sets his eye
Full and fierce and sharp and sly;
‘Gainst the wall of knowledge I
All my little wisdom try.

Practice every day has made
Pangur perfect in his trade;
I get wisdom day and night
Turning darkness into light.

Smoking Ban

Sun, 01 Jul 2007 00:00:00 +0100

Yesterday a friend of mine expressed her delight about the impending smoking ban in England. Finally it has happened! I know here in Wales it has been the law for a few months, but I haven’t been around for it. I cannot wait to come home from a pub one night & not reek of someone elses bad habit! :D

Whether it was staged or not, I still like this video clip.

I also went to a stand-up comedy show tonight, which was awesome. The part that sticks in my mind? When Adam Hills (very funny guy) was talking about how in his last DVD he mentioned only two celebrities at length: Steve Irwin & James Brown. Within 3 months or so of the DVD being released, they were both dead. He said that it would happen whenever he mentions a celebrity on stage now. He pauses & then shouts out “PARIS HILTON!”

Okay, I don’t wish death on anyone, but it was funny all the same.
