It’s been a while since I’ve blogged here, so apologies for not posting here more regularly. During the pandemic, I’ve been improving my home office and looking into things than can help productivity while being inexpensive. I’ve posted a couple of pics of these items on Film Twitter and had some comments about these so I thought I’d put together a small post of where … Continue reading Cool Stuff for Working at Home (or On-the-Go)

A hissy fit about Cineworld and its crappy allocated seating

Review of 2012: Things I am looking forward to…

The Oscars 2012 – personal reaction

2012 marked a significant year for me as a film buff. This year, after a really long lie-in and a practically redundant nap, I stayed up to pull off my first Oscars all-nighter. After bitching about some of the dresses (it looked like Shailene Woodley stripped a wedding cake of its marzipan and made into a dress from the 1930’s) and entertained about the stunt by Sacha … Continue reading The Oscars 2012 – personal reaction
