Past times

This afternoon I have been taking some time out from university work, and have instead been enjoying the 1995 version of Little Women. Such a wonderful film, I watched it many times as I was growing up and used to pretend that I was in fact Jo.

The 1995 film version of the novel is a wonderful adaptation, and I particularly loved the acting of Clare Danes, Winona Ryder and in fact the whole family. The scene which shows Clare Dane's character, Beth, is particularly moving and I can't help but end up sobbing every time I watch it.

Watch this version if you can. I hadn't seen it in a while, but watching it this afternoon I remembered again why I love it so much.

Farewell amigos,

Library musings

Sitting in the library, trying to do some work for an essay due in tomorrow.

BUT: I keep getting distracted- what a surprise!

Four guys are giggling like girls in front of me, looking at something on their laptop.

And I can't but help nebbing.

Also, I have been looking at curly hairstyles. Since I had a hair-cut-disaster, Ive been waiting for it to grow so I can get it re-styled to something that is presentable without a headband.

In the meantime, I am looking at pictures of curly hair, if you could find any decent ones I would be forever grateful!!

Here's a couple or three:

Now on with some more work...

Gustav Klimt, inspiration

I've just been looking over some wonderful Gustav Klimt paintings, here's a few from the delicious selection that I looked at.

P.S: This post seems to be getting a lot of traffic, what do you all think? Aren't his works beautiful? Comments please! X

Lent.

So I decided to give up tea for lent. As an avid tea drinker, this has become a quest and a mission, but I am managing ok. So far I have been able to stay off the normal tea, and have only had green tea twice. Considering I usually drink around 3-5 cups of tea, I think 40 days of no tea should be a fantastic detox!

5 days down, 35 to go.

Talk to me, what else are people giving up for lent?
