What's with today, today?

The thing is, it's Friday, it's after 5, and I'm going home. But I wanted to do this, so maybe a sketch now and more later... The Impression that I Get- Mighty, Mighty Bosstones Yellow- Coldplay I Must Belong Somewhere- Bright Eyes Man, I can't choose... More later Have a good weekend!

I liked writing that so much I'm going to do another one. Maybe I'll do daily top 5 lists. Maybe I won't. You'll just have to wait and see... I'm not including The Lord of the Rings in this list, you probably all know I love it. I didn't include the Bible in the last list either, but they both loom large. I know that a lot of people look down on fantasy, but I think that this is unfair and unwarranted. I want to make a list of books that will appeal to a range of people and maybe interest any non-fantasy readers out there. Top 5 fantasy books you should read (in no particular order): The Last Unicorn- Peter Beagle This is an amazing book, it's got everything- it's funny, it's sad, it's bittersweet and moving and the characters stay with you afterwards. Read it and we can discuss together what it means... The Wizard of Earthsea- Ursula le Guin Ursula le Guin is pretty great, and so is this trilogy (well, kind of trilogy). These are pretty sad book...

So here are some top 5 lists of mine: Top 5 most influential books, in chronological order: -Fairytales I don't remember which book. All I know is that for the first half of kindergarten I couldn't read at all, but then somehow I started, and the first word I remember reading is "grandmother", I'm assuming this was 'Little Red Riding Hood'. That was such an exciting moment, and the start of a lifelong love of words. - The Treasures of the Snow, Patricia St. John Reading this book is the first time that I remember really thinking about what I believe and making a conscious decision that yes, I would like to count myself a follower of Jesus. So pretty important for me... -The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien This book pretty much sea...

I was reading an article today about posters which have been popping up on lampposts in Melbourne and entertaining the local populace by saying things like: "I like doing stuff but I always end up doing the same stuff again and again. I'd like to meet up with people who like doing stuff, preferably different stuff to my stuff..." And signing it 'Craig' Some think it was an ad for a classifieds website. But it turns out there was (already?) someone in New York doing the same thing and signing off 'Chris'. You can find out about it here: http://zoomdoggle.com/2009/03/honorary-doggler-chris-not-craig/ These people believe that the originals were a spoof of the website. Anyway it's pretty random and the website made me smile, so I felt I should share it. I saw an unusual poster on the corner of Enmore Rd and Stanmore Rd last night, but didn't get a chance to get a proper look. I all can really say is that it was up pretty high, and I think it involved ...
