So I’ve been watching ‘Lost’ since it began in 2004, and now in it’s final season I’m none the wiser as to what the hell is going on. In essence, I too am utterly lost.

So here’s the thing; I have forgotten more questions about ‘Lost’ that I can remember. The show has confused the hell out me, and now it seems the characters are shifting through time and alternate universes or something.

So far it seems Jon Locke in dead, but he isn’t. Jack’s Father is dead, but is also alive maybe. Sweet little Claire has become a bunny boiler. [...] Continue Reading…

Many of you won’t have heard of the band Parachutes from Reykjavik, Iceland. However some of you may have heard of Sigur Rós, also from Iceland, and if you like them then I have a free music download I think you might enjoy.

So when she invited me to join her and her friends in celebrating her 60th birthday I was delighted to accept.

Perhaps I should have known it wouldn’t be like any other party I’ve been to. The celebrations were to run over the entire weekend, and people had quite literally come from all over the world to her home in the depths of the [...] Continue Reading…

It’s Friday, the working week is reaching another conclusion, so let me encourage you to take three minutes and twelve seconds out of your day to watch the video below. Trust me, this is worth it, and who among us really can’t take three minutes out of our day, right? The song is ‘Valentino’ by Diane Birch.

This video is ingenious. It was shot in just one take and uses absolutely no digital trickery. To get a sense of just how complicated the video would have been to shoot, take a look at the equally entertaining behind the screen video [...] Continue Reading…
