Now this is music #118: Wafia, Kero Kero Bonito, Dillon Francis, Demo Taped, Raleigh Ritchie
We’re in love. Out of love. Trying to find it. Watching others find it. Wishing we had some time in a tree (this will make sense later, trust me). As always, music has a way of taking myriad emotions, all of which swirl in and out of hearts and Continue Reading
Meet Ducky and Bunny! Toy Story 4 drops 3 new posters and a very meta trailer

Movie review: Set It Up
There’s a good reason why falling in love is so popular in the movies – real life romance, lovely though it can be at times (most of the time if you find the “right” person), rarely comes close to the magnificently-confected perfection of the average romantic comedy or rom-com. Continue Reading
My Grandfather’s Memory Book: A touching tribute to a much-loved artistic heritage

Book review: Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton
If life had a damn good PR team, and it does in a way if you pay any attention to the glass-half-full, carpe diem, bluebird of happiness souls of the world, they would be constantly rabbiting on, with Hallmark-esque gleeful abandon about the limitless possibilities it offers. It’s a Continue Reading
