Can you wear yellow?

I reading this book at the moment,
it's one of those "throw you in at the deep end" ones with a very alien world, hundreds of new creatures, places and concepts to comprehend. I'm enjoying it, but it's quite hard work. Do you love it when words you've never seen written down before appear regularly? The last time this happened for me was Umberto Eco I think, had to keep a notebook.
Might have to pick up something more relaxing today for when I'm tired.

Had a cool dream last night. I was at school/university in an English lesson. The female teacher was jumping from subject to subject, asking questions and then not letting anyone answer and basically not providing a very coherent lesson, which was annoying me. Suddenly she said she was going to show us a film which cheered me up.

It was projected onto a big white screen at the back of the room, it was Siouxsie Sioux and Budgie singing a song I'd never heard before, in a refectory somewhere. Siouxsie was wearing a lemon coloured minidress with a peach cardigan draped around her shoulders and Budgie was looking super cute. They were both really young, teenagers I think. There was some screaming at the end, kind of punky, but that's all I remember. In the dream, I was singing along, entranced by the song and decided that the teacher wasn't so bad after all.



Wonder if it exists? Siouxsie can even look good in yellow velvet, what a woman.

Re: kindle

Well the kindle isn't backlit like a mobile phone might be so indeed you can't read it in the dark. The rationale seemingly being partly to reduce screen glare since many kindle readers read outdoors and also to increase the length of time between charging. Apparently you can get little lights that attach to it though that isn't really any different to reading a book with a nightlight. Still, I can't say I've really found much use for mine but then I has plenty of real books yet to read. Also the wireless only thing isn't really convenient for me, although you can get models that work through 3G as well, but mine is just the basic flavour.
