Things We Learn #2

There is a laundrette just around the corner from my flat. Two hour treks across the city to what the interwheb suggested was the nearest landrette are, in fact, entirely unnecessary.

"There is a problem marrying someone who speaks your own language imperfectly - all nuance is lost: and with nuance goes humour, irony, sarcasm, subtext, secrets."
William Boyd, 'The Things I Stole'

Phwoar! etc.

I met Laura Whitmore through the Drama Society in Dublin City University while we were both studying there. She had a reputation for being 'the best-looking girl in DCU' and, because she was a talented singer, dancer, actress and writer to boot, I think most people supected she'd go far in life.

That said, I think many were still surprised at just how quickly she moved up in the world. Less than a year after graduating from her Journalism degree, she landed her dream job as news anchor on MTV. She was selected from thousands of applicants in a reality TV show called 'Pick Me MTV' and will be fronting the MTV News segments for the next year as well as a half hour programme on weekends.

I came across this picture today and I'm sure you'll agree she looks every inch the superstar.

Here's hoping her star continues its ascent.

A milestone in human achievement if ever there was.
