I have a Facebook account, but I only use it for keeping in touch with members of my high school graduating class. I have too much stuff to do on my blog and on Gather.com to get involved with activities on FB.
Interesting to put a face on one of the faceless - the band that drove the Motown acts. It seems sad when the only time we get to put a face on any of them is in reading their obituary. Maybe it's a tribute to their talents that they do their job so well we don't even notice them. Hmmm...
The Third Policeman by Flann O'Brien is strange, weird and very, very funny. I recommend this so much. G'wan, you'll love it.
Lolita is a a classic for a reason.
Animal Farm, 1984 and Homage To Catalonia by Orwell.
Knots by R D Laing kept me sane when I read it in my teens.
And now for something completely different ...
MAKE-UP
Clarins moisturiser
Max Factor black mascara (Maybelline is cheap but the black dries grey!)
Bobby Brown Alabaster foundation with SPF15 (plus their black eyeshadow and full range of brushes).
Mac liquid eyeliner
Benefit black kohl pencil - nice and thick and sticky.
You've opened up a whole new world to me!
My friends strongly recommended I join Facebook. I was reluctant, but I talked myself into going along. I like it.
I'll add you tonight.
