We watched The Crow on Saturday night. Or rather, we got halfway through and fell asleep, and I watched it properly yesterday morning. It’s hard to explain how much I love this movie, it made a very strong impression on me watching it as a teenager going though a hectic time; and to me it has always been more of a love story than anything else. I cried my eyes out at the end back then, and I cried again … Read More »

Enough is really enough now. I know we are technically still in spring, and that the plants and reservoirs need it (especially with fire season around the corner) and I know it’s not such a big deal… but I don’t like rain. I don’t like getting wet, I am tired of umbrellas and jeans, and I miss the sun. Half watching Maid in Manhattan (lame!) and enjoying my favourite red, in my cozy flat with pajamas and socks isn’t that … Read More »

While I couldn’t tell what kind of day it was going to be when I woke up, the sheer difficulty it took to force myself awake was possibly a mild indication. Going to bed with a headache, I had taken a Syndol which made me sleep like the dead, but even for a morning person like me, it was a bit trickier waking up from my slumber.

Taking an angry, sad and bitter song, and turning it into a melancholic, raw and honest one is no mean feat… but time and time again Johnny Cash could swing his own version of any classic, and make … Read More »

Having just come over from Being Brazen, and not feeling too inspired to find my own idea for a post, I decided to do a weekend round up of interesting things discovered… 1. Sleep is important. After a few weeks chasing a deadline and trying to get a whole host of other project done, while still juggling my day job and having some semblance of a social life, I have new respect for a good nights sleep. 2. Abseiling is … Read More »

Must… have… coffee… Waking up has been especially hard this week. Not having much of a weekend, and working every night last week tends to have that effect, and as they are wont to do when I am tired, my tonsils have chosen this time to act up. All in all, for the morning person that I am, it makes getting up something of a challenge when you feel so groggy. Like I do every morning, the first thing I … Read More »
