I came up with some witty blog name/pseudonym today but Ive already forgotten it. So the struggle against my writing demons continues here. Cos, you know, not having a cool name is a solid justification not to blog.
Just came back from seeing Skyfall and I must admit, I must have missed most of the movie. Not because i didnt like it - I just didnt expect so much of it to be set in London. Ive been quietly pining for the city - and the British Isles in general - for a few days and its as if this was intentionally tugging on my heart string. Also, I spent the first hour translating it back into English.
I cant quite tell if i miss the familiarity or London for what it is. Or whether its the contrast of the people and places here in Kiev that makes it all look so damn attractive. Either way, I can no longer picture myself spending months on the pacific rim. I couldnt bear to be away from culture for so long. Maybe im getting old. Ha!
So overwhelming was this feeling that I forgot to pay much attention to the script, the acting or the locales. So overwhelming it is still that I dont even care to talk about the girl whom i took with me, and who despite wrapping herself around me on the double seats, I have realised I simply do not want.
I steady myself with the thought that, when I return, I'll probably get the travelling itch back within a month. And that, right now, there isnt anything for me to do in England.
