A rare, but duely short, update.

Just thought I may as well update the ol' blog to give you guys a brief overview of where things are around here at the moment. I realise that thus far I have only updated with a single review for October. You can expect a review of Zombieland in the next couple of days, and possibly a review of The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnasuss following that. A couple of (very lovely) people sent me emails suggesting that I simply review the text's that I have to read for university instead of films for a while. I admire the enthusiasm, but I'm not going to do it for these reasons:

• I have to apply different methods of close reading when analysing a text for the purposes of an essay than I would when reading a text to review it. This means that I wouldn't actually save much time at all.
• I still have to write the fucking reviews. I know some may not seem that structured but, believe me, they are.
• Somehow, and stop me if I'm wrong, reviewing things like Oroonoko and Paradise Lost might somewhat lessen my appeal as my critic. I know I've never exactly doubted the intelligence of my readers - but I don't assume it either.

So, thanks for the suggestions, but it's not gonna happen.

On the bright side there will be some fresh creative content up soon. My essay The Great Global Community is nearly finished and all ten pages will be available to download for free in the next two weeks. Aside from this, I'm making fairly regular poetry updates, and I'm hoping to get some more short fiction done soon (as I'm taking a break from Avarice for -mental- health reasons).

I'm going to let you have a rare glimpse into my social life for once. It can be summed up in this quote rather brilliantly:

'A little less love; a little more common decency.' - Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Something has to give

Just a short blog to tell you that I'm revising my work schedule for this website a bit. Although I would love to continue to release 4 reviews, and 20 Twitter reviews a month, for you guys it's impossible if I want to keep working on my novel, pass my university course, and - you know - sleep.

So, basically what that entails is this: two full length reviews, and five Twitter reviews a month. That way I'll be able to continue with my life, as well as this website.
