Funny little story..last Wednesday I was feeling like super crap from the depths of hell and had an event to go to that I really HAD to go to, no getting out of. That same morning the girl rang to tell me she bought an ipod. So I rock up tot he event, feeling pretty gross and snotty and cold-like and guess what? I �win� an ipod. I use the quotations because I truly believe people in the media don�t just �win� anything. We win stuff on purpose so we will write nice things about people hosting the vent. Seriously, I have never ever been so lucky at winning things as I am now that I have this job, it�s just too coincidental for me.

Anyway, we are now a dual ipod household and I realise now what a little community ipod users are. This morning on the train at 7 a.m. There were 12 of us in the section of the carriage and 7 of us had little white earphones in. Unreal.

The most exciting thing is, however something I�ve stumbled across quite accidentally. I�ve been quietly collecting Gerda Wegener artwork since I came across some of her erotic artworks. Most of what I have is very much girly sorts of bedroom and bathroom prints and I�ve been quietly hunting her erotic artwork, but each time I found an auction selling a piece (and they are hard and very rare to find) they would sell for a fortune. But the gods are looking out for me my friends because in a warehouse in America some guy found a hand bound book of her erotic prints. The entire collection, signed in pencil and complete in the whole set (where one and two prints were hard to come by I never in my dreams thought I�d find the entire collection) and very very old. He found them, in a warehouse trunk with a tiny bit of water damage to the corner of the cover but the pieces are very much intact.

And now I own them. They are making their way across the great oceans, insured and waiting customs clearance and I�m all kinds of excited in lots of ways about getting my hands on it. I�m an art geek, I know and I�m not exactly sure what I�ll do what I actually hold the book but I�m certain my heart will stop beating for just a moment. Maybe longer.

Must advise the girl to be on hand with an oxygen tank in case of emergency.
