    Ever forgot to go to a gig?

    I don't remember. It wasn't about the burger, it would have had to be more serious than that. I remember feeling that she had abandoned all logic and reason and that walking away was the only sane response. Maybe I wanted to escalate a conflict in order to have an occasion to end things. How...

    It's great when you're straight

    interestingly this is what happens when you've completed your end goal. there are loads of tales about athletes setting an ultimate challenge for themselves that they spend their whole lives building towards and then fall apart after they've reached it.

    It's great when you're straight

    I still think the most consummate joy I've ever felt have been the seconds after scoring a goal in football. Seeing it hit the net, turn around and seeing the smiles running at you.

    let me tell you that i was watching an episode of sex and the city the other day and having never seen it before i thought it was going to be a fashion feminism take on sex, sort of mild but sincere critiques of the late nineties pop cultural representations of sex, maybe a precursor for some of...

    Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

    Mubi has one called Cenote right now which is about the figure of water in Mayan mythology but really it's just sequences of these long underwater clips which are absolutely stunningly psychedelic.
