The Sky's The Limit

Crossing the bridge this morning I watched a small gull swoop down from on high, loitering slightly over the surface of the Thames, flying artfully -twist- playfully.

I thought about how that must feel, and I thought that the bird was my outer limits of experience, taking me flying while I sit in the bus.

I want to revive the ancient art of augury. (Maybe not the bit about entrails though).

Problematic film and interview that I like (Make Love Not Porn) because I would too like to see a greater awareness of the language and tropes of pornography and its effect on our sexuality - without necessarily taking an anti-pornography stance. But, as the interview rolls on, it is clear that Cindy Gallop operates from within the media and marketing, the market, and this throws the luxury of thinking porn without the bad effects into doubt.

This rocks! A mantra-like charmer, seducer, trance inducer that just makes me feel great about being a woman.
