Help I'm Alive - Metric I downloaded this album a while ago but never got around to listening to it and then I was going through a playlist of songs I hadn't heard yet and fell upon this one. Love the simplicity of the lyrics and Emily Haines' delivery.

I came across this picture today while going through my google feeds and I really didn't know how to react. The other pictures from the shoot were better to me, I picked this one out to wonder if anyone else thinks she looks like the emo-version of Peter Parker in Spiderman 3?
day 03 | a book/ebook/fanfic
Alright, normally I'd be all about the fic but I've got this book rummaging around in my head. Also, I don't think I could just link to one fic, so perhaps it's time for a list at some point. The book is Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson and I've got passages from it popping up sometimes at night. I picked it up at the library last week and read a chunk of it while leaning against the bookshelf, then I put it down for a week and started it again earlier tonight. Winterson describes an affair so vividly, the emotion is a physical presence in the room. No book is for everyone but here is an excerpt:
Yes we are and I do like to pass the day with you in serious and inconsequential chatter. I wouldn't mind washing up beside you, dusting beside you, reading the back half of the paper while you read the front. We are friends and I would miss you, do miss you and think of you very often....You never give away your heart; you lend it from time to time. If it were not so how could we take it back without asking?

Date: 2009-10-13 01:09 pm (UTC)The book is really good. It's not too long (under 200 pages), otherwise the language may feel exhaustive; and the main couple aren't idealized, so the story feels a little more real. It's not a standard romance as much as it seems to be a study on love. I'm not finished with the book yet, so these are just my current impressions.
