Not Dead Yet

If anyone is reading this blog, they might have been slightly concerned, I realise that. My previous two posts were rather of a serious nature and then nothing for what? two weeks? But here I am, back for one quick post at least.

It's just that I have been busy, you see, recently. As you might know I am now in charge of the marketing destiny of my choir and with a new show coming at the end of July, we are all busy preparing the marketing campaign (Next week we should be able to launch the microsite dedicated to the show. Watch this space!). This implies finding ideas to let people know about the show on the tightest of budget. We can't even afford advertising and will have to use flyers and posters only with the hope of some editorial content here and there.

This week focused more specifically on getting the promotional material right which meant spending a lot of time boring MFD (he is designing the things) to death with talk of the Chorus. On the phone, when we meet, by email (and now with this blog entry, I suppose!). Bless him!

All I can say for my defence is that I am enjoying the whole process A LOT. I am quite excited about this and whoever knows me, will know not much can excite me...

    Hey, you left me a comment a couple months ago warning me about a potential "stalker" - I sure wish I had heeded your warning! Anyway, thanks for your advice, and you can tell me "I told you so" if you want. :)

A Short History of the Elephant and Castle and Its Name

Last night I attended a lecture by local historian Stephen Humphrey who discussed the general history of the Elephant & Castle, focussing more particularly on what he called its heyday (between 1850 and 1940). This is part of a week-long art project ( The Elephant Project ) hosted in an empty unit on the first floor of the infamous shopping centre, aiming to chart some of the changes currently happening to the area. When an historian starts talking about the Elephant and Castle, there is one subject he can not possibly avoid, even if he wanted to. Indeed my unsuspecting announcement on Facebook that I was attending such talk prompted a few people to ask the dreaded question: Where does the name of the area come from, for realz? Panoramic view of the Elephant and Castle around 1960/61. Those of us less badly informed than the rest have long discarded the theory that the name comes from the linguistic deformation of "Infanta de Castille", a name which would have become at...

For the Living Left Behind - Frieda Hughes

No one dead who loved you  Would wish your future years dismembered  Against the rocks of their departure.  They would not sentence you to the guilt of betrayal  For any moment they weren’t uppermost in your mind  Nor would they wish you whittled down like a stick  To pick the stony teeth in the open mouth of abject misery,  Daily, until you are nothing left.  No one dead who loved you  Would want your still-breathing carcass  To be lost in the wilderness  That spans the two worlds of the living and the dead,  Where you are neither dead nor living.  They would not applaud your misery,  But would weep to watch their loss  Made pointless by the waste of you.  The dead become a part of us; our skin, our bones, our thinking;  Their existence is continuous in us  And the best we do in everything  As we move on from the moment of their passing.  Step back from the graveside where nothing flower...

pink sauce | life, with a pink seasoning

As of tonight, my blog Aimless Ramblings of Zefrog , that "place where I can vent my frustration, express ideas and generally open my big gob without bothering too many people" which will be 6 in a couple of months, becomes Pink Sauce . While the URLs zefrog.blogspot.com and www.zefrog.eu are still valid to access this page, the main URL now becomes www.pinksauce.co.uk. There is a vague plan to create a proper website for www.zefrog.eu to which the blog would be linked. Why Pink Sauce , you may ask. It is both simple and complicated. For several years, I have grown out of love for the name of the blog. It felt a bit cumbersome and clumsy. That said, I never really looked into changing it, seriously. Tonight, for dinner, I had pasta with a special pink sauce of my concoction ; single cream and ketchup. I know most people while feel nauseous at the very though of the mixture but trust me, it's gorgeous. Don't knock it till you've tried it. After having had my platte...
