I’m sitting in Eteaket right now, sipping on an English breakfast tea and hiding from the torrential winds that are currently battering Edinburgh city centre. What the hell is it about tea that makes everything better?
I’ve been putting off posting because to be honest, I’ve not got much to tell about this month. January is nearly over and just like every other January I can remember, I’m glad to see the back of it. New year starts around March for me, when the weather gets better. Saying that, all this staying in has let me catch up on a raft of documentaries. I’ve genuinely looked forward to plonking myself down infront of the TV each night. In the last 2 weeks I’ve watched West Of Memphis, The Imposter (both of which I really cannot recommend enough), The Cove, Bully (one of the hardest films I’ve ever watched) and Jiro Dreams Of Sushi. I’m going to spend today writing some reviews about each one and get them online.
Blasting the new Biffy Album, Opposites, right now and chair dancing. It’s probably not something the other breakfast eater of this cafe want to see so I’m going to head off.



I mean, the story’s great and I’m in awe of George Lucas’ imagination and ability to create such endearing and loveable characters. It’s just really hard to not get caught up in the cloud of hysteria that engulfs the series, which, for me, put these films up on the highest pedestal before I’d even pressed play. For example, I’d watched the Family Guy star Wars before watching the originals and that was a big mistake. I viewed parts of it more as a comedy because of seeing that version first.
