Fuck Ballads

Since we're feeling particularly delivish, what could be more apt for the occasion than Smoke City's Devil Mood ? This one's climbing the charts this week.

Revisiting a Classic II

It's got to be Joel Schumacher's 1987 The Lost Boys.

Sleep all day.
Party all night.
Never grow old.
Never die.
It's fun to be a vampire.

Revisiting a Classic

image from screen rant

E and I spent the lead up to All Hallow's Eve in the company of werewolves and vampires. I'm most completely obsessed with John Landis' 1981 masterpiece An American Werewolf In London about 2 American students who encountered said monster during the deep of winter in the English moors. It scared the bejesus out of me when I was little and in some ways it still does.
I can't wait to hit the moors myself - we're planning to go up North this time, perhaps to Wales, where the scenes were actually filmed.

Boo!


I've always wanted a big Halloween party at home. However when the day finally arrived yesterday, I simply wasn't in the mood.
So here's our little homage anyway to my favourite day of the year, apart from Xmas eve.







Poe

Finally after more than a year in the making, The house that Ed built.
She has her own soundtrack: "I'll look Around" by Madeleine Peyroux

That's Two Fingers Up Your Nostrils

" I'd like to you to buy me a piss of rad bigini, or maybe something naughty, like leopard preen, zipbra preen..you know? You can wear animal preens with duck gins, or carkey green, it's okay. Right now I'm studying steel."

Apparently that's how baseline peasantry speak in my lovely country.

Pidgin English? Pigeon English I say!

Embarrassing, to say the least.

The Faraway Tree

Image from Farm4Static

My childhood was made up of butterfly chases, tadpole hunting and tree climbing, no doubt due to a healthy diet of Enid Blyton. 

A favourite of mine is the Faraway Tree series.

I still believe trees are magic. I have one right outside my house.
