Stress: it gets me every time. It invokes this marginally mad reaction that ends up with me going to bed at 4am still convinced that I'm not tired.
It is said that a brisk walk will help both stress and insomnia. When one is a single chicky living in a big, dark city however, a meandering walk down the information super highway (using my current favourite randomizer StumbleUpon).
Here's my favourites from tonight's meandering.
Nick Brandt
Stunning wildlife photography from Africa. Beautiful.
Nick's work is found amongst a stellar line up at the Young Gallery in Brussels. Among the other photographers are Greg Gorman & Michael Eastman.
Random Einstein Quotes
I can't vouch for their authenticity & don't have the patience to trawl through Bartlett's to check it but some fabulously interesting thoughts indeed (not very conducive to ending insomnia). the one that tripped me off the most was:
"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we
created them."
Well actually, I stopped reading the list half way through. Unfortunately, my attention span becomes shorter as the hour gets longer!
Jackson Pollock
Create your own Jackson Pollock style artwork. Perfect entertainment for the easily amused & over active brain!
Computer Programmer or Serial Killer?
Amusing and disturbing all n the same click. Take the quiz to find out whether you could spot a serial killer from a computer programmer. Luckily I scored 9/10!
Genius on Paper
The drawing of Leonardo Davinci. I bookmarked this for another time, as the intricacies in these sketches are beautiful - and a little warped at times.
Who Needs Ready, Steady, Cook?
Have you ever seen that show Ready, Steady, Cook? they take the contents of your shopping basket and create something from it. This site provides a list of ingredients to choose from that are in your fridge or cupboard accordingly. Unfortunately, the follow through recipies don't quite live up to the potential. Oh well, guess I'll just keep living my bachelorette's lifestyle & wandering the supermarket aisles looking for the guy from Ready, Steady, Cook.
The last thing I've found to keep me company on these long and winding nights is blogging. I've been more than a little tardy in my uptake but now it's a case of "Watch out world!! Prepare to be taken on a (slightly mad) ride!"

About Me
- Kate
- My workspace could best be described as the “House of Stashes.” There are stashes of fabric, piles of cookbooks, a box full of teddies (with various arms, legs & heads missing), displays of finished work, random notes & quotes fallen on the floor, bundles of wool that never quite made it to their intended jumpers, coloured pencils, paper, metal findings, semi precious stones in abundance, as well as drawers and boxes crammed full of nostalgia. All of this is inspired & driven by an affinity and obsession with texture & colour. When exploring my background, it is evident that I have the vocational attention span of a child who, just because they still believe that anything is possible, one day wants to be an Astronaut, then a Ballerina, next a Mud Wrestler & then her best friend’s uncle’s pet cat. I have studied Journalism, Multimedia, worked as a Photographer, worked retail, managed an office and flipped burgers. And I still think I may want to try my hand at the Astronaut thing.
