Proposal Will you marry me? she asks, Turning to look up at him. Not today, he replies. We haven't got a vicar. But you'll marry me? she asks. When there's a vicar. Is that a yes? You haven't got a dress. I can get one. We haven't got a cake. There's no need. Oh. Then, you'll marry me? Someday, he replies. She turns her head... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: The mid-twenties crisis: 6 of 13

After six weeks of being unable to get around on my own and the subsequent sick leave from work, my house had never been cleaner, my phone bill had neve... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Bullies: 13 of 27
Names Never Hurt Sticks and stones break bones, Names never hurt Or so they say. But it's the names that stick in the mind, Like leeches sucking away At what's left of the confidence and pride inside you, Leaving a slimy trail of hurt And fear. The sticks and the stones And the punches and the kicks Leave the painful, purple... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Meet the Robinsons: 5 of 10
I'm an avid fan of Disney and Pixar. (How can you not be, right?) So a Disney film with a Pixar biggie as the executive producer, combined with what was hailed as the latest in 3D animation, sounded like a must see to me. What I like about Disney and Pixar stories is that they really are universal; they are great for kids an... More..
Arts & Humanities > British Literature Book reviews: Life on the Refrigerator Door, by Alice Kuipers: 1 of 2
I remember studying a poem in school called "dear mam". It was written by a Welsh poet and although I have sought the poem and its author online and in books for years, I have yet to come across it again. The poet wrote of a mother and daughter who communicated through a series of notes left on the kitchen table as they were... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Con Air: 1 of 2
Con Air is one of those timeless action flicks that remains enjoyable no matter how many times you've watched it. Showing on station WGN this evening, I couldn't resist watching it for the seventh or eighth time since its release ten years ago. Starring Nicholas Cage in the lead role as Cameron Poe, Con Air tells the story o... More..
Travel > Hotel Reviews Hotel reviews: Orange Drive Hostel, Hollywood, California: 1 of 1
I'll be direct. The only positive remark I can make about this hostel is that the location is good. You really couldn't ask for a better place from which to start exploring LA and Hollywood in particular. Orange Drive Hostel is located on a side street off Hollywood Boulevard and you can see Mann's Chinese Theatre from the w... More..
