LINKS


Interesting things to help you procrastinate with your time:

OUTER SPACE - it's cool guys. Seriously.

Violins - I love how in the video he speaks of instruments as though they were alive. In a sense I believe this is true. They age and change with the conditions we put them through and the years we keep them. The sound grows just as we do.

A Waltz - so sweet.

Olly Olly Oxen Free - A story that you should read and enjoy because it's fantastic, and written by my cousin.

This is lovely. What fun would it be to eat your morning cereal looking up at the map, contemplating the memories of where you have been and the dreams of where you would like to go.

Letters of Note

Letters of Note is a fascinating collection of correspondence. I've reblogged Respected Paternal Relative below, but I'm also particularly fond of I like words and well I like them all.


In April of 1866, the future author of Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson, wrote the following letter to his father and expertly asked for some money. He was just 15 years of age at the time.

2 SULYARDE TERRACE, TORQUAY

Thursday

Respected Paternal Relative:

I write to make a request of the most moderate nature. Every year I have cost you an enormous—nay, elephantine—sum of money for drugs and physician's fees, and the most expensive time of the twelve months was March.

But this year the biting Oriental blasts, the howling tempests, and the general ailments of the human race have been successfully braved by yours truly.

Does not this deserve remuneration?

I appeal to your charity, I appeal to your generosity, I appeal to your justice, I appeal to your accounts, I appeal, in fine, to your purse.

My sense of generosity forbids the receipt of more—my sense of justice forbids the receipt of less—than half a crown.

Greeting from, Sir, your most affectionate and needy son,

R. STEVENSON

I must say, I'd pay him.
