The big question is did I have a thing for Brutalist architecture BECAUSE I went to this school, or is that why I chose to go there? www.timeout.com/london/news/...
London is getting a new museum all about brutalist architecture
The museum will be housed in one of the UK’s last brutalist school buildings.

I used to scoff at scenes where someone is trying to explain something scientific and they pick up objects from the desk as props, but now that I am writing a scene were such an explanation is required...the temptation to go 'this-stapler-here?This-stapler-is-the-sun-mode' is almost unbearable.

I didn’t want to post anything because I know I’ll be seen as a hater, but the premise of Alien: Earth does not excite me one bit. It feels like they decided to set it on earth because it’s cheaper. It’s like I really want The Expanse, but I’m getting The Rig instead.

Today I’m at the American Dream Mall, for research purposes. I started writing some scenes set here and it’s so different to the pictures and how I imagined it, it’s actually changed some plot points. #amwriting #fieldtrip

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

12/1 - Your first job
A summer job at 16 in a band merch warehouse. The cool AF workers would bring in the best music to play, and that's where I first heard this:
"Heavenly Bank Account" - Frank Zappa

I get that many consider Placebo as goth-adjacent at best, but I've loved this one since I first heard it and they kill it live.
