There’s something that wants to come out right now, but I’m not sure which ‘something’ I want to hold the cage upon for.  That’s the way it ends up after watching a great film, seeing something inspiring, drinking a eye-opening song or album.  And that’s where I am right now. I’m in bed.  There are [...]

If you’ve been following my twitter feed you’ll know of my new found love for Bon Iver.  They paint a scene with sorrowful yet hopeful vocals, simple rhythms like trudging through the snow, and melodies delicately falling into place, filling tracks in the powder.  For Emma, Forever Ago isn’t just refreshingly acute, it’s brilliantly understated.

I’m rather fond of the linked article as opposed to what I found at CNN Europe because, well, there’s more there.  The CNN [...]

I’ve just completed a fairly quick and painless update of Word Press and I have to say, the new layout is not as aesthetically pleasing.  Sure, things are easier to find and access, but where’s the love?  Where’s the homey feeling?  Thing feels so cold and sterile. Oh well.  I’ll get used to it fairly [...]

There’s something difficult about getting back into a script that you stopped working on and thinking about several months ago.
