Okay, so this is extremely odd even for me, but this kind of really strick me for some reason. And I know nothing about this man, never even heard of him before in my life prior to today, but I can't help but feel that a bright light has gone out of the world all the same. He was possessed of all the delightful British excentricity I so adore, and it just made me smile and think how much I miss that place.

So. In case anyone wants to read a sharp, witty portrayal of an ordinary man, who was nevertheless quite extraordinary in a way only human beings can be, here it is. Kudos goes to [livejournal.com profile] alwaysaddled for finding it and sharing it! (Obituary in the NY Times.)

A life extraordinary )

May he rest in peace. Also, I've had to resist tagging this post as #madmanwithabox, which should speak of how much I loved the man's little quirks.

I declare that ye shall all envy me and be rotten jealous, coz guess who's off galivanting in London for the next 5 days? Why, yes, however did you guess?! ;p I'm off to hugely enjoy myself, binge on buying books and DVDs (I'm looking at you, Petra, and smirking XD) and take advantage of that nice little cuddly animal, the Sale. Meanwhile, I really hope I don't miss the Metanoia update ;_; Oh well, even if I do I'll be sure to explode with joy when I come back and find it waiting for me (oh please)!

On my flight over I'll be listening to [livejournal.com profile] cosmogonic 's playlists, which are teh bomb! I was listening to Subduction last night while [my mum was] packing, she enjoyed it too! Much love and kudos to  [livejournal.com profile] cosmogonic  for providing <3<3. If someone wants something from the Big Wahoonie for Xmas, now'd be a good time to let me know! Back in a week!
