http://fanaticfandom.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
My other blog is a BMW. But this is a bandanna-pink Volkswagen Beetle - for flirty frivolous fun and fanatic fandom. This is where i get to play the bimbonic-geek and rave, enthuse, bitch and rant about anything and everything under the sun. Feel free to chip in! Monday, November 28, 2005. Cheesy '90s rock ballad. When I look into your eyes. I can see a love restrained. But darlin' when I hold you. Don't you know I feel the same. Cause nothin' lasts forever. And we both know hearts can change. When there...

By Michael Schmidt, StAnza Lecture, March 2006. Down with the poetry cheerleaders, I say! That is why QLRS.

dry grass singing: February 2005
http://eothen.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 09, 2005. For Ben and Mels, with apologies for the very purple prose]. Watching a spate of close friends' weddings take place, one after another, and anticipating The Next Big One (a beach party, complete with SPG outfits - the horror! And seaside salsa), it's almost inevitable that my thoughts should turn to luurrve sweet luurrve, and marriage, and other generally soppy yet life-changingly momentous things that are not really soppy at all once you. Start thinking about them. It i kno...

Monday, November 29, 2004. The making of "the adventures of a horny widow". Fortunately, what we were both getting into was a gem of a film that is as sweet as it is hilarious, and that is even more about love and family than it is about sex and the porn industry. But above all it is a loving tribute to the art of cinema - with a tongue-in-cheek sideswipe at the cheesy Seventies, complete with campy disco lights and even campier music. Posted by eothen @ 1:53 AM. Saturday, November 27, 2004. They sang ab...

Friday, March 25, 2005. Out of the mouths of babes. Gems of wisdom from student essays:. When people marry, they expect care, tension, and unconditioned love.". An odd mixture of cynicism and idealism, this. Too many cares will result in tension, certainly - but to also expect, in the face of this rather grim certainty, love that emanates, pure and unconditioned by social mores or gender expectations. Well, all i can say to the writer of the essay from which this was taken is, "Good luck.". Is it ethical...

Wednesday, October 27, 2004. There are many differences between Singapore and America. (i am aware, of course, that this is one of those statements that means about as much as "There are many differences between cats and dogs." Still, one has to start somewhere, and why not the obvious and banal? Ladies and Gentlemen, put your hands together for. Exhibit A: The Declaration of Independence. Exhibit B: The National Pledge of the Republic of Singapore. That depth and emotional power should have their roots ...

dry grass singing: January 2005
http://eothen.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 21, 2005. It's the thought that does it,. Cruising near the height. Of cloud-nine heaven how our faith hangs. By the slimmest of silver linings,. Gossamer light skimming light as fireflies. Across an air-thin sky. No Icarus, we know that to soar. Too near the sun. It’s never the flying that causes fear. Of white feathers floating. Upon a grey sea. Posted by eothen @ 1:37 PM. I am a little world made cunningly. Of elements, and an angelike sprite.". From 'Holy Sonnets', by John Donne).

Thursday, December 23, 2004. This used to be my playground. Outrage. There is no other word for it. The Powers That Be have dug up the basketball court behind my house and in its place are planting a Landscaped Garden, that in my humble opinion will serve no greater purpose than to become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other creepy-crawlies. Perhaps. But there are times when cynicism seems a well-justified and perhaps even natural response, and this is one of them. Posted by eothen @ 1:43 PM. Not s...

Friday, May 13, 2005. Walking out of the workplace i am always struck by nature's extravagant beauty. The sky - bright youthful blue in the afternoons, dark dusk in the evenings. Outside at the bus-stop, i see the delicate beauty of rain tree leaves silhouetted against the night sky, like a fine lattice of intricate black lace set against rich grey velvet. After rain, the fallen leaves are a glossy black against the concrete pavement. Posted by eothen @ 8:59 PM. Saturday, May 07, 2005. Despite its compos...
