I have been a busy bee of late (yay!), and have a part time job to supplement my writing income, at a local farm shop. They are sending me to the farm up in Aberdeen for three days, so alas, more time I won’t have to post. However I will leave you with some great [...]

Future with Palin
A site someone has put together to what the scary future could be if McCain wins, dies and Palin becomes president. Little interactive clicks everywhere. You’ll need sound. It’s silly at best, but worth a look for a small giggle. via iba
Film reccomendation: In Bruges
Brenden Gleeson & Colin Farrell Coming highly recommended from Mark Gorman’s blog, H and I rented In Bruges last weekend. Absolutely brilliant. I know I’ve been saying that about a lot of stuff lately, but why should I post about crap stuff?! This film is extremely well written and laugh out loud funny, in a [...]

Naturally funny
[youtube=http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zXU9Ur9QznE] Recently I have been taken smitten by the new ads out for The Natural Confectionery Co. by Fallon London.

Almost annoyingly actually and seeing as the James Bond films are almost a two-hour commercial for Sony Vio and Audi oops, I mean Aston Martin, I’m almost not [...]
Mailer Madness – updated
I wrote this whole blog post, see below, only to walk into my kitchen & realise that I put my OLD initials, in paint, on already stamped envelopes. Yep, I still have it. I am still the reason they invented Sod’s Law. They are all proud and beaming DCT instead of DTC. Go Figure. It’s [...]
Crazy creatives – literally
According to this article on CNN.com, experts are currently pondering the link between mental illness and creativity. Well, duh. If you aren’t mad enough to be creative, it definitely drives you there! But on a serious note, I’ve been told by more than one mentor, that as a creative it’s not rare for me (or [...]
