I will oogle at them googles

According to a source (a Mr. Valentine), google is set to put practically-extinct books up on their site! Books will be available as pdfs that can either be read online or downloaded onto one of those fandangled e books! Finally! A way to read a Zelda Fitzgerald novel - but unfortunately not in the bath.

El FIn.

Today I finished the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. Her first and only novel originally written under a pseudonym, it tells the tale of a young woman lost in the world that is forced to seek professional help. 

'Nuff said.

Enid.

Tonight I watched Enid that I recorded last night on my trusted Sky Plus. I thoroughly enjoyed it so much so that I feel inspired to pick up my old copy of Secret Seven - one had a jolly good time and is jolly tired and is jolly happy to be going to bed.

Evidence that Light Yagami and Ryuk Exist?!

Three British men were killed tonight in Holland after crashing their getaway vehicle on the motorway. The three fled police after robbing an ATM Machine before meeting their sticky end... Is this the work of Light Yagami and Ryuk?

'Death Note' (2006) is a Japanese film based on the series about Light Yagami, a young man who resents the crime and corruption in the world. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the "Death Note", lying on the ground. The Death Note's instructions claim that if a person's name is written within it while picturing that person's face, that person shall die. Light is initially skeptical of the notebook's authenticity, but after experimenting with it, he realizes that the Death Note is real.

After meeting with the previous owner of the Death Note, a shinigami named Ryuk, Light seeks to become "the God of the New World" by passing his judgement on those he deems to be evil or who get in his way.

Get your Glazzes on these Devotchkas

Something I really want to go and take a peep at in a weekend or two is the Red Light District installation at the National Gallery. 

Hoerengracht (Dutch for Whore's Canal) shines some historical perspective on the NG's 17th century Dutch paintings of scenes depicting love for money juxtaposed with a mid 1980s European Red Light District.  Alongside 'Whore's Canal', a select few from the Dutch permanent collection, including Schalcken's 'A Man Offering Gold and Coins to a Girl' and de Hoochs's 'Musical Party in a Courtyard' will be displayed.

The dimly lit scantily clad mannequins are installed at grimy windows of claustrophobic streets where viewers are forced to walk and peep like a typical client, whilst other mannequins are poised in provocative poses inviting men to come inside. The artists Ed and Nancy Keinholz are hell-bent on recreating the RLD; with seedy music playing in the background, dustbins strewn about, neon signs glaring and client's bicycles neglected in the streets - as they say: in for a penny in for a 'pound'.

How she longed to get out 

of that dark hall, 

and wander about among those beds 

of bright flowers and those cool 

fountains, 

 but she could not even get her 

head 

through the doorway...

'Oh, how I wish I could shut up 
like a telescope! 
I think I  could, if I only know how to 
begin.' 
For, you see, so many out-of-the-way  
things had happened lately, 
that Alice had begun to think that very 
few  things indeed were really 
impossible.
