Upcoming Changes and the Death of my Computer

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Keen-eyed visitors may have noticed a few minor changes to the site in the last couple of days, the most prominent of which is the new ‘share’ button accompanying every post, this in addition to the ‘stumble’ button I already had and the ‘delicious’ button I added at the same time. This, I am hoping, will drive some more traffic to my site.

My other additions to the site include a flavicon, which is the little logo you should now be able to see next to the URL at the top of the screen, or in the title bar of the tab this site’s open in, if you’re using tabbed browsing, and a simple line break to separate posts in place of the rather obtrusive borders I had before. Also, I re-enabled comments on all posts, so you should all feel free to tell me what you think about anything.

Guest: Thom Wall – ‘A Lover’s Hand’

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

When the doctor left the room I started to cry
I’m so confused, I’m so lost

A lover’s hand is where I want to lie
I can’t see myself anymore
I can’t see right or wrong

I sit in a small room
Next to a man I know as my friend
I start to cry and then my head lays at rest in his lap;
The lap of a man I now know as more than just a friend
I am confused, I am scared. (more…)



Guest: Molly – ‘Hospital Lights’

hospital lights

Molly

What was faceless is now historic,
with no ones name to carve into soft metal portraits,
that time and rain will soon bend into a reaction,
(they mean the world to people who know nothing.)
Blame it on me.
For we are all the pennies in the world,
and with them we can build a home bound with inks,
to shade the chasing sunlight from our eyes.
