One word: Wow

 This light projection photography is by Davis Ayer. What an unusual but ingenious form of art, right? I love the fact that he used the female form as a canvas for his work. I'm in awe.

"I hear it in the deep heart's core"

I wrote my English exam yesterday. Yeats has been on my mind ever since. Thought I would share one of my favourite poems, The Lake Isle of Innisfree. This is a recording of Yeats reciting the poem. It's hauntingly beautiful. What a genius. 

The Lake Isle of Innisfree

I WILL arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.

Every foodie's dream

This is what I did instead of spending quality time with my English books on Saturday. So worth it. Hazel Food Market is having their Christmas Market from 10-12 November. What's that you say? You like food? You like wine? You like presents? Ok, then you have something to do this weekend. 

Black Swan

I was listening to the Black Swan soundtrack earlier. It's just as haunting as the movie was. I remember walking out of the cinema in a bit of a daze after watching it. Natalie Portman, however underfed in the movie, has to be one of my favourite actresses. Here's a shoot she did for Vogue at the beginning of the year. It's really beautiful, especially the picture of her dancing.

I also found these awesome Black Swan movie posters.

Save the date

Rain rain go away

 I had huge plans for Halloween, kids. I had been looking forward to this block party in Jozi for weeks. And then it rained. It rained and rained and did not stop. So Amy and I decided to stay put in P-Town. Although the night did not go according to plan (at all), it was still a good one. Can the rain in P-Town just stop already though? My Grafro doesn't respond well to moisture. At all.

At least it didn't come down in buckets at Kings of Leon last night. I wasn't ever their hugest fan but after seeing them live,  I actually think they're pretty damn good. Especially Taper Jean Girl. Love that song.

You've grown, kid

Remember this little baba? 

She's grown into a cute little fluff ball and now has a name- Roxy. She also has a brother, Bentley, but he couldn't sit still long enough for me to snap his picture. Naughty kid.
