When I was young I had to wear special shoes



1. Forrest Gump in one minute, in one take. Watch in HD.


2. Lula is my favourite magazine ever. See 'This Side of the Blue' here



3. NIN: Wish live with The Dillinger Escape Plan - Perth, 3.02.09 [HD] from Nine Inch Nails on Vimeo

I'm a big Nine Inch Nails fan and their vimeo account is full of HD goodness filmed from onstage. The quality is incredible. The video above is just all kinds of epic.

4. These Super Mario Cookies are so cute.

5. This dress from Versace's RTW Fall collection is delightful:


6. I've just started reading Lolita by Valdimir Nabokov and I have to say the first paragraph totally blew me away.

'Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita. Did she have a precursor? She did, indeed she did. In point of fact, there might have been no Lolita at all had I not loved, one summer, an initial girl-child. In a princedom by the sea. Oh when? About as many years before Lolita was born as my age was that summer. You can always count on a murderer for fancy prose style. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns.'

I'm not sure I shall continue ~Sunday Six~ because even with bookmarks and LJ memories and del.ici.ous, I am absolutely useless at keeping track of my internet discoveries. Instead, to keep me posting regularly I'll just post things as I come across them or remember them.
