Newsletter Digest

I recently voted for a new arts and culture award. To be eligible for any of the prizes on offer, you had to allow the two award sponsors to send you their weekly e-newsletters. I was already a member of one and, to be honest, I already subscribe to so many arts, music, literary, events, film and enviro newsletters that I just couldn't bear signing up for another, so turns out I'm not eligible for a prize.

All you IT prograsmming geeks out there: where is a program where you can send all your newsletters and it'll sort it into a nice little digest (weekly, fortnightly or monthly as required) with topic areas and chronological news and a calendar that shows you when stuff is on or when you have to do something to be eligible for something?

All I want is one email a week that contains everything I sign up for, complete with all the benefits like discounts and giveaways etc but without the cloggy inbox drawback.

Am I asking too much?

Omens of the New

Some perfect change is afoot, I know it. Lately I have been harvesting omens of the new.

The beginning is symbolised in:
The perfectly boiled egg I cooked for dinner.
The dying carrot leaves I cut, which brought new growth.
The intense nostalgia that has permeated my life for the last week, which has suddenly given way to the present, and is slowly opening a portal into the future.

SO EXCITED
