some people think they’re always right
Yes, the tumbleweed has been blowing barren across the lands of the Other Scrapbook for some time now. For this, I apologise. Or do I? Not really.
Currently, I am storming up ideas for a low-budget-to-no-budget zine I’m producing with the enviably talented Saoirse of Swall. Meanwhile, here are some things I like. What do you like? I want to know.
This is Caroline Allison photographing Tennessee for the bewilderingly lovely 50 States Project. While we’re on Tennessee and things that bewilder with their loveliness…
A very, very young Kings of Leon when they were still dingy and excellent.
And final item in my lookbook for the rest of June 2010:
The beautiful Glass siblings and their existentialist crises are just languid and distressing enough to set the summer tone. Franny and Zooey is the current frontrunner in the ongoing My Favourite Novel race, despite its questionable grounds for entry (Franny is a short story and Zooey a separate, though related, novella). Go forth and read, ducklings.
Soon to come: posts on summer soundtracks, the return of The Strokes, some letters from imaginary people, an elegy for the Kings of Leon and plenty more besides. That’s when I recover from the shock of coming top of my year in the exam results. Swoon.
Glad you’re doing so well in your studies. I slacked off at uni, did nothing and it’s been downhill ever since…don’t let that happen to you!

I LOVE Franny and Zooey. It even made me laugh out loud sometimes.
Thanks for the advice, Rachel! I’ll do my best.
And Allure, it really is a wonderful book. Helped enormously by the presence of Zooey, who in an alternate universe I am certain I’m going to marry.
Oh wow, Sally, well done! That’s so wonderful, but not surprising!
I’m definitely going to read that. DEFINITELY.
Hi, Sally. :)
I should be studying. But I’m glad you’re back!
Saoirse was asking me for ideas about the zine! My contributions are going to be … Well. Questionable.
Congratulations, ya brainy weirdo.
Is that appropriate?
