You have found your bliss. Created on 3 October 2006 (#11295342). Last updated on 14 December 2006. I am a musician from New Zealand who has quit her office job to well, pursue what matters. Finding your 'bliss' is about finding what really makes you happy and makes you shine. And it's important to not put it on a backburner, like I have done for years, and really work to keep a hold of it once you have found it. This is my travel journal.

The Sixpenny Blog: January 2013
http://thesixpenny.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, 27 January 2013. I’ve already written about Jane Austen in last year's review of Persuasion. There are only two authenticated pictures of Jane Austen, both drawn by Cassandra. The first sketch. Is seen in nearly every edition of her books. It was not considered by her family to be a very good likeness. The second. Is a woman, dressed in blue, sitting outside. She faces away from us. It leaves us to imagine what she is looking at, or thinking. I rather like this image of her. Philip K. Dick.

The Sixpenny Blog: Motherless Brooklyn, by Jonathan Lethem
http://thesixpenny.blogspot.com/2013/02/motherless-brooklyn-by-jonathan-lethem.html
Friday, 8 February 2013. Motherless Brooklyn, by Jonathan Lethem. I don’t know. Screw Tony. I like you better Lionel. I just never told you.” She was hurt, erratic her voice straying wildly, searching for a place to rest. “I like you, too, Julia. There’s nothing-Screwtony! Sorry There’s nothing wrong with that.". Lethem somewhat reminds me of one of my favourite authors China Mieville. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Reading. Writing. Musing. View my complete profile. Little Dorrit, by Charles Dickens.

Tuesday, 14 May 2013. Doom Patrol, by Grant Morrison and Richard Case. If you are a person-who-does-not-read-comics, I’m not sure I would recommend Doom Patrol as the place to start (unless, of course, Un Chien Andolou. Is your dream Saturday night movie). It is a wonderful series, which combines horror, surrealism, and humour to great effect. For all the freewheeling narrative of the series, Morrison gives the series the memorable bittersweet ending it deserves. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Sixpenny Blog: April 2013

Saturday, 27 April 2013. The Farseer Trilogy, by Robin Hobb. A thoroughly enjoyable fantasy series in my opinion. Fans of the Saga of Ice and Fire may want to check these out while waiting for the next instalment. It is the first of four series set in this fantasy world, and she also writes under another pen name as Megan Lindholm. I’ll probably read some more of her books, so watch this space. George R. R. Martin. Ursula K. Le Guin. Wednesday, 17 April 2013. The New Moon with the Old, by Dodie Smith.
