http://awriterscosmos.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html

http://thedeadbeatsnovelinprogress.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Bite by bite eats the elephant. One word at a time. Monday, February 25, 2008. No Country for Old Men. I am seemingly in a minority of one, given my dislike of the film. Not dislike, even, more total apathy. I sat in the cinema wondering is this was really the film which scored 94% on Rotten Tomatoes? I found the juxtaposition of underplayed acting with a. Moss was running from Chigurh because Chigurh was chasing Moss. Although I'm tempted to give it a go now. Anyone read it? Yay, or nay? I predict a dra...

Bite by bite eats the elephant. One word at a time. Friday, January 30, 2009. Though you could be forgiven for thinking otherwise. Job house renovations A363 pregnancy exhaustion = total blog absenteeism. Apologies all round for not visiting blogs, not updating my blog and sporadic coffee morning attendance.
