love in the age of office superstores

Last night Lou and I attended the Coupland talk *in celebration of The Gum Thief* at the Bloomsbury Theatre.
I’ve seen Coupland talk at this venue twice previously, for the releases of Hey Nostradamus (the boy I was with at the time, fell asleep during this one) and J-Pod (at the time no-one had any inkling [...]

alright, so there will always be a little goth in me..

I’m pretty excited about Sweeney Todd, Burton only sucks when he’s not making gothy fairytales.

Do you think this is the beginning of Johnny Depp only being able to play Jack Sparrow forever?

perfect saturday

well, almost.
if the idiots who hadn’t double locked me and lou in the flat weren’t being all loud and foreign in the kitchen.

you know those days when

The sense of realisation dawns on you, throughout the course of the day, the realisation of what you’ve actually done.

misery loves solitude

First day back at work sucked. Exactly the opposite of what I needed. Exactly. A day of crushing disappointment and so-so activity.

I’m sitting in Tara’s apartment in Williamsburg, on my last day here, all consumed with thoughts of how to make my life the way I genuinely want it to be.

there’s a new seth cohen in town, and he knows how to use the internet!

So, I’m waiting for Robyn to get to Taras. I have been for approximately a million hours. I chose to fill this time with downloading and viewing the pilot of Gossip Girl. Blah blah, the OC, blah blah.
2 observations. It was a bit ‘meh’ didn’t hate it, didn’t love it. 5 years ago probably would [...]

I wannna always feel like part of this was mine…

You know those nights when you NEED to go out, ‘cos something might happen? it just feels that way, you listen to some songs that make you remember that somewhere in the world there are people worth getting to know. That all it can take to change everything, is just one night… tonight feels like [...]
