Where were you last night?

Nothing much has changed in my nights. A decade ago when I couldn't sleep, I read and chain smoked. Today the scene is still drowsily familiar except that I am happy being insomniac by choice. And with the cigarettes gone, I read from a screen. The fun I find is immense and really strong against drooping eyelids. These are 13 sites this week that are keeping me up til midnight and often the wee hours of the morning:

1. London Met (conversion qualifications)

2. Just Landed (guide to living abroad)

3. About Germany (general info on Germany)

4. Campus France (Education in France)

5. Expatriates (All you need to live, work and study abroad)


7. hotcourses (the UK's largest course finder)


9. Technische Universitat Kaiserslautern (International School for Graduate Studies)



12. AUSTENPROSE (A daily celebration of the brilliance of Jane Austen's writing)

13. Classical Archives (the largest classical music site on the internet)

The Hunchback of Abella

A Duet When I was about 8 years old, I sang Something's Happened to Daddy in church. My father was not a church-goer so the guy I sang with was my mother's friend's husband. Papa keeps coming to my mind these days. January is the month he was felled by a massive coronary. Next week on the 14th is the anniversary of his death. The only times he ever set foot in church were during weddings and funerals of family and friends. I remember him being present in church eagerly when I was a flower girl at an aunt's wedding. Finally he entered church one more time. At his own funeral. I made sure church was the very place he went to before the cemetery. I only wished he was the one I sang with.

There was a balance of happy and sad memories. Today's

Sense and Sensibility: 200th anniversary

In 1811 Thomas Egerton of Whitehall, London published Sense and Sensibility . Quick math shows it has been two centuries since Jane Austen became a full-fledged author. Quite an anniversary, indeed. A celebration, I declare . Blogs regarding the publication anniversary of this romance novel picture Jane Austen 's engagements whilst making the final touches of her manuscript from Sloane Street. In letters to her sister Cassandra, Jane gave accounts of her shopping for muslin, the party that their brother Henry and SIL Eliza gave; mentioned several acquaintances, and referred to her book as S and S . As a fan I wonder which between sense and sensibility did JA deem more important since she portrayed both attributes equally well. I'm obliged to enthuse over my S & S reading experience. Alas, I only managed fourteen chapters before getting sidetracked by another novel, the very first that JA wrote. I will resume and complete my affair with the celebrant before 2011 end
