Haven’t had a great start to the year. Not prepared to share it here, but looking forward to the collective blues being lifted in 2019. Feels like Brexit, austerity etc. have really dealt us a sustained blow in the UK, and the uncertainty is tiresome for many.
At least there are still books and movies. So in between the marking, intermittent songwriting, lecture prep and dog walking, I watched and read the following:
READ: Mind Gym – Mind Gym, Independent Film – D.K. Holm, Diary of a Body – Daniel Pennac, Three Uses of The Knife – David Mamet, The Divided Self – R.D. Laing, Pryor Convictions and other life sentences – Richard Pryor
WATCHED: The Fighter, All The Love You Cannes, Tokyo Story, All The Presidents Men, The King Of Comedy, Bottle Rocket, Before the Revolution, A Forgotten Crime, A Dying King, Iran – The Hundred Year War, The Goalie’s Anxiety At The Penalty Kick, The Social Network, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Sightseers, Brazil
