A frightful ‘Flight’
I’ve never been on a plane, so any movie about plane crashes increases the amount of time I will remain flightless. Yes I know, I know, flying is the safest form of public transport and movies exaggerate loads. But that’s off-topic really. As is mu lack of drug-use, what with me being T-Total and all, … Continue reading
Hooked
There’s a reason why I can sometimes justify staying in all day and doing nothing but watch TV. It’s called TV series. These things are highly addictive and can/will take over your life. They mainly come from the US, land of the shows, but can be from anywhere really. Not only do they keep you … Continue reading
Ice Ice Baby
After trying my hand at FroYo and doing it with a little twist I decided to go all in and make real ice cream. Since Ferrero Rocher flavour is my favourite, and so far I’ve only had it in Spain and Germany and it’s awesome there, I decided to find a recipe. The closest I … Continue reading
Queen Victoria
I recently finished reading Jean Plaidy’s The Captive of Kensington Palace, the first book in a series about Queen Victoria. I had previously read a book set in the Tudor era by that author, and didn’t like her style at all. Compared to Philippa Gregory or Anne O’Brien, she wasn’t making me feel anything. But … Continue reading
Something… So 90s
Did you ever hear the saying ‘The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach’? Well, I guess it’s true in a way as few are the men who would say no to a woman cooking them dinner. So yeah, you can probably make him stay by filling his plate with steak. But there’s … Continue reading
Tough As Nails
A while back I wrote an article about my terrible nail-biting habit. Since then, the habit/addiction has been kept in check. I have so many nail polishes that tipping the box over is nearly always the only way to find the colour I want. And once you’ve gotten over all the usual ‘today I’ll go … Continue reading
The Other Sister
Back in 1999, I was a teenager and addicted to the German magazine Bravo which was awesome. For a while they advertised movies by using stills to summarise the story in the shape of a photo novella. One of those movies was Garry Marshall’s The Other Sister with Juliette Lewis and Diane Keaton. The plot … Continue reading
My Graduation 2.0
I recently graduated from my MA. This was my second graduation at Kingston Uni and the last one wasn’t really that great. I wouldn’t call 55min of names read out in a hurry a graduation. My parents came because we don’t have graduations like that in France, and obviously they had to pay for their … Continue reading
Me, Myself And I
Well, what to say about me? I’m a 24 year old Creative Writing and Publishing MA graduate (with a CW and English Lit BA) and I currently work as a student support worker for my former university Kingston, as well as at French Radio London where I’m the assistant webmaster and I also have a … Continue reading
