One thing I've spotted already which is tickling me is that the imported spellchecker for blogger flags up "blog" and "blogger" as spelling mistakes, you'd think they'd take the time to put in their own product names as correct spellings, but hey I guess they're busy or something.
I was introduced in a lecture to a fantastic book called The Arrival which has a fantastic setting but a very real sense of character and loss. The story is a tale of displacement, of a refugee fleeing and unknown danger to a foreign land where the food, language and customs are all alien and he struggles to find work, shelter and friendship. The genius of the book is that the story is told completely through illustrations which are breathtaking in detail and emotion. It takes a while to get into the story, but once you're in you are definitely hooked.
And on the same day it was kinda weird 'cause there was snow and stuff and on one side the sky was very much cloudy and grim, but on the other side it was solid blue, but not your typical sunny day blue sky, it was much darker, a shade I'd never seen before, much closer to purple than sky blue actually. I pointed it out, but people were a bit busy listening to the lecture so I didn't get much response, but I found it interesting anyway. The other kind of sky I notice is when it's snowing and the sky goes pure white and you have to concentrate to see the clouds.
I don't like planning
