a cat-free zone no longer December 31, 2008

When I started this blog in the middle of the year, I made a secret pact with myself that it would remain a cat-free zone. I decided that facebook is the place for trivial pictures of my cat and other such fluff (iness). The blog would be all academic and thoughtful, filled with my stunning […]

The New Year’s lesson from ye olde rocke musick

Patience: Yes I know it’s the name of a Guns and Roses classic. But it is also my New Year’s resolution. Except it’s not so much of a resolution as it is a daily goal: to be more patient with myself and with others. So maybe (in spite of the stupid name for their latest […]

Watch, Listen and Singalong: Part 5 What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?

It’s one of the few documentaries that […]

Due to well foreseen circumstances (i.e. Christmas) The Spiralling Shape’s regularly scheduled post of Wendy’s Week of TV was cancelled this week and will return to the so-called “blogosphere” next week. (Why a sphere I wonder? Is there something particularly spherical about blogging. What’s wrong with a cube for instance?) N.B. Wendy did watch TV […]
