this is my personal blog, consisting of random thoughts and daily junk. a collection of my diamonds in the rough of life - because, what is life without the brilliant little gems that link all the big stuff together?
you might see posts about this stuff......music - fashion - sport -packaging design - product design - pattern - style - television - food - food styling - popular culture - the iconic - the moronic - insignificant moments.....and any other nonsense i feel like passing on
My 11 days off work starts tomorrow evening
Dear tomorrow,
Come quicker!
Best wishes

I love her on Mad Men, but she’ll always be President Bartlett’s daughter to me.
A profile of Elisabeth Moss, who plays Peggy Olson on thegreatestshowcurrentlyonTV, Mad Men.
Agreed. I will ALWAYS think of her as Zoey. Could be time for a DVD marathon soon. West Wing and Mad Men.

I have always had kind of an intellectual crush on Matt Frei. I miss seeing him in front of the White House every night feeding me snippets of knowledge on American life and politics, and educating me with his deliciously authoritative English/German/American accent. He really gets America in a way that most British people don’t (he’s technically German but I think of him as British). He sees past the stereotypes and reports fairly without being patronising to either side.
They moved him from being the Washington correspondent to being the anchor of BBC World News on BBC America, which means I don’t get to watch him anymore. Apart from what I can get on youtube and his Washington Diary posts on the British BBC website, I’m sunk. I am reading his book - Only in America - at the moment and I’m loving it. I actually find myself wishing my train journey to work was longer so I don’t have to put it down. Mwah, Mr. Frei. Big MWAH!

Kiki, you are damaging my wholesome Union upbringing. Stop it! ……. Not really. Keep going.
