As part of my research I watched a film of Shakespeares Twelth Night – I struggled following the language but due to studying it at school sort of knew what the over all story line was. The film itself was done fantastically! And I was actually highly impressed with it! This is one of the […]
I was thinking that the Punks hair isn’t actually going to be a natural red but that it would go that colour if bleached – a sort of strawberry blonde as it were – so then I thought how is she going to work dying her hair in the middle of Tudor England – its […]
Whilst writing the Snow Crash post I started to wonder why I hadn’t found any cyber-punk to read until I was in my mid 20’s. I think the answer to this is partly I learned to read at the age of 12 and yes I know that’s really late but that’s when I learnt to […]
