Procrastination Station #55

It’s suddenly Friday again! Hello weekend!
The Booker Prize: same old same old // Poem of the week // The lost art of handwriting (Definatalie’s talking about this too!) // Happy Birthday, HG Wells! // The Picture of Dorian Gray = awesome // Quiz: how well do you know your weird words? // & hooray!
I’ve been seeing this image all over the blogosphere this week!
Next week is Banned Books Week. Start planning your celebrations!
I loved Fiona’s blogpost on “Scrumptious Words.”
Lovely hand-drawn typography and design.
When one of your wedding guests is a typewriter…
Found online this week: Former Featured Poet Wendy Kwok at Bolts of Silk // Last week’s FP Matt gave me a mention // More cool vispo from Stephen Nelson // Another lovely poem from Regina — the girl’s prolific! // Howie Good at a handful of stones
I want this man to illustrate my bookcover…
…or this man!
I loves a good rant.
The most controversial magazine covers of all time.
Twisted Sister: Cinderella & friends just got ugly (NB: don’t show this to your six year old!)
Tattoo overload: Paris Tattoo Art Fest (Facebook) // The Hell City Tattoo Fest // Geeky physics tattoos // The Heart vs The Head /It’s Medusa! // A TS Eliot tattoo // & people always ask me “what will you do about your tattoos when you’ve grown up?” …my new response will be: “I hope I’ll still be rocking them with all the style of this lady!”
& finally… hilarious mobile phone drama!
& shock revelation: Lady Gaga used to make great music!
Don’t forget The One Night Stanzas Store, my Etsy store, and their little sister, Edinburgh Vintage!

A great PS this week- and as usual, thanks for the link… that poem was for my father.
Anyhoo- loved the controversial mag covers and the Poem of the Week was fascinating, as well as the comments about it!
I know these kinds of posts are a lot of work, so thanks for sharing so much with us, Claire!
