Sweating the Small Stuff Since '73

Have to come up with a subject for final project (intro to web design, have to make a website)... possible subjects are:
1) Oliver Sacks
2) The Love Song of J Alfred prufrock
3) the history of a couple of different typefaces
4) linotype machines
5) etymology/origin of few idioms, probably from Yorkshire
6) printmaking OR photography website.
I feel so uninspired. It's been a shit week. Thoughts?

locked down in boston… some beauty for you via ee cummings…

i will wade out
                        till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
                                       Alive
                                                 with closed eyes
to dash against darkness
                                       in the sleeping curves of my body
Shall enter fingers of smooth mastery
with chasteness of sea-girls
                                            Will i complete the mystery
                                            of my flesh
I will rise
               After a thousand years
lipping
flowers
             And set my teeth in the silver of the moon

Penny Dreadful is a Record Breaker (hopefully)

usbornepublishing:

Yesterday, children all over the country dressed up as their favourite children’s book characters and headed off to school for a day of fun and, for some lucky pupils, author events for World Book Day. Lots of Usborne authors were in schools doing events yesterday, but the biggest event was in Bath. Anna (UK Marketing) tells all:

‘World Book Day is a huge celebration of reading and a day when lots of great book-related events are happening in schools across the country. Some are small events, others are really big, but we we are hoping that ours, to celebrate the publication of Penny Dreadful is a Record Breaker by Joanna Nadin, was the largest. To be precise, we hope that it was the ‘largest reading lesson in a single venue’, because that’s the Guinness World Record that we were trying to break with the help of author Joanna and children from King Edward’s School and Combe Down Primary School in Bath.

Usborne Fiction Director Rebecca Hill and I travelled to Bath, where we were met by freelance publicist (and ex-Usbornite) Liz Scott who has spent months planning this massive event.
