The last few weeks have been quite busy so I’ve had no time to write anything specifically for this blog. Having said that, things have happened both in terms of work and non-work stuff. I’ll try and summarise this as best as I can.
Work: I’m dividing time between Guildford People, Musical Chairs and all other writing deeds quite well at the moment. There’s not much to complain about really apart from the usual freelance ballaches.
Film: Not seen too much recently although Blue Valentine and Inglourious Basterds are next up on the DVD pile. Me and my better half also saw The Muppets yesterday, which was all-round feel-good fun. I’m convinced that Man Or Muppet will win the Oscar for Best Song even if it’s essentially Bret McKenzie just re-writing I’m Not Crying.
TV: Borgen finished about a week and a half ago. The second-to-last episode was thrilling and set the whole series up for a barnstorming finale. That never happened. It seemed to run out of steam about halfway through and the conclusion was rather unsatisfying. Still, it was a brilliant show overall and I eagerly await the second series. At the moment, Inside Men is proving to be really intense and sharply written. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds.
Music: I’ve had lots of it to listen to. My favourites of the year so far include Tough Love by Pulled Apart By Horses, The Lion’s Roar by First Aid Kit and Put Your Back N 2 It by Perfume Genius. I’m also currently listening to The Shins’ new one, Port Of Morrow (for review purposes) and that’s turning out to be quite brilliant as well. I booked my Bestival ticket this morning and am already counting the days until I get to see Sigur Rós again.
Keep an eye out for something more coherent at some point (when I’ve got time).
