Phony Ppl - I Wish I Was A Chair

I love the randomness of this song title, though it is the first line of the song. The band are a New York Hip-hop collective who rap and sing over funk, jazz and soul beats all played with life instruments. For such a young group they seem to bring a lot to the table.

This song is so short and sweet, perhaps too short.

And it gets straight the point.

To Be A Hero...

The time has come where I must decide

A decision where peace and upheaval reside

To give up the role upon which so many rely

Results in my lover remaining by my side.

I've vowed to restore, protect and preserve

The People; this is what they deserve.

But my heart no longer pulsates for me alone

For I am not I without my wife, my home.

There was once a time where there'd be no debate

The People first, without a second to contemplate

But my purpose and duty is no longer the same

From the day my eyes set upon her, on her they remain.

The role of protector is what I was bestowed

But isn't love and happiness what I am owed?

Whatever I decide second place is all I know

I've served the People long enough; Now let me be hero.

Biscuits

Made with Self-Raising Flour, Butter, Sugar and an Egg, a few drops of Milk and topped off with a sprinkle of icing sugar.

I think they are the best biscuits I've made so far and they are rather cute!

Daft Punk - Make Love

This song is just so good.

 I love Daft Punk and would love to see them live but no ever seems to have seen them live. They are just absolute geniuses - the timelessness of their music just makes them gods of dance.
 The message is so simple - 'Make Love'. The only thing I ever intend to make.

Means to an End

'This degree is really just a means to a limitless end.'

Me, 2012

I've finally figured out what I am doing here - this degree will open so any doors for me.

This procrastination must stop!

Dominance

I absolutely adore this image. She is just perfection and he is in awe.

Wow!

Jamie Woon - Night Air

This song completely sums up my love of the night.

I always come into my own at night - I don't know why.

Baking - My new passion

My First proper cake

Christmas Cake

Weird banana biscuits

I sort of developed a thing for baking at the end of last year. I think perhaps it's because I love cake (yep it's slightly obvious) and I love bread! The pictures above are some of the cakes, biscuits and bread (and Alpen flapjacks) I've baked over the last couple of months. Yes they have a lot of food colouring on and in them but that's mainly because I get carried away. I really want to perfect them and make really pretty cupcakes as well, so I'll never have to buy a birthday cake (or any cake for that matter) again. I've even started to collect various baking apparatus, incuding various sized baking tins, a colling rack etc - I'm really going for this! I'm hoping to develop a portfolio of my exploits by the end of the year and hopefully I will be transformed into a talented amateur baker by then.

Once I've perfected the basics of baking simple cakes. loaves of bread and biscuits, I'll play around a bit and come up with some even tastier stuff - yum! Two of my housemates will be having birthdays soon so I'll be, once again, kept busy with baking very very soon.

Zola Jesus - Skin

This song is so amazing!

I discovered it on my beloved show Grey's Anatomy and I've been playing it ever since.

This song for me is about getting yourself out of the mess you've gotten yourself into (a break up or whatever) and finding yourself again just like changing your skin and starting all over again, with no one's help but your own.

It's beautiful and her voice conveys that desperation of starting all over again perfectly.
