Okay, so this one is interesting. I wrote this back in 2013 whilst in the U.K. visiting my folks and some of the friends I had made during my almost 4-year residency from 2006 to 2009.

Cyprus
In the past 18 months I’ve made two trips to the reasonably small, politically divided island nation of Cyprus.

Okay, so that may … Continue reading Cyprus
Things That Make Me Laugh

30 (+1) Years of Film
As you may or may not be aware, I'm a huge fan of re-visiting things. What does that mean? I have no idea. Regardless, 373 days ago I wrote a rather extensive list of my favourite films for each of the 30 years since my glorious birth.
