Inspiration, whimsy, journey back in time, travel to the future. It’s all here.
Last night I had the shittiest dream I have had in a long time. Well I say dream. It was definitely not a nice nocturnal experience though. I dreamt I found this rat that had been trapped in this weird geometric box, and to try and get out it had gnawed off one of its feet.
Read MoreI’ll admit I first picked up this book because of the title. I hadn’t heard of the author, or the film for that matter which the cover informed me was ‘now a major motion picture’.
Read MoreAre human beings devolving? As I watch the American election in full swing, I look to my own countries politicians (who in the bigger scheme of things are pretty much just as bad) and the people around me who are voting these clowns into office and I wonder. Are we going backwards?
Read MoreI have loved Star Wars since I was six years old. I guess that's when I was first old enough to discover it. I'm nearly positive that I didn't understand all of it at the time, but I liked the lightsabers and the robots, adored Princess Leia....
