"That's all your life amounts to in the end: the aggregate of all the good luck and the bad luck you experience"

I have been working lots recently, and as my job is late-night work have been doing little else but sleeping in the time inbetween...hence the terrible lack of posts on here! Have just today finished watching the channel 4's recent short series 'Any Human Heart' and I must say I loved it! (The quote in the title is taken from the William Boyd novel that the series was adapted from) It made me dream of being a writer myself, not that the life of it's main character Logan Mountstuart is one I necessarily want, but it did make me want to sit down at an old typewriter, tap in a title and just start writing... Such a lovely story though, sad and funny and happy and exciting. And I thought Matthew Macfayden was just so brilliant in it as the middle of the Mountstuarts - played by three different actors throughout the series. Also recently watched Hitchcock's 'Marnie' which I was watching as part of my research for my university project. I'm looking into fantasy and reality and into human states of being, dreaming, transfixion, hypnotism etc. 'Marnie' explores reality and deceit in many ways throughout and I loved the different ways it looked at these themes - from Marnie's multiple characters she plays, to the lies she tells her mother and the lies she has indeed been, without knowing it, telling herself. Tonight 'Boardwalk Empire' starts and, as a big Scorcese fan, I can not wait! More tomorrow!
