Writing essays. Got to critique Ian Fleming and it's hard as fuck to not just rinse him. Why can't I just say "The man is gay for james bond. He can't write for shit. End of.". It's so shit I can't properly critique it without re-quoting stuff three or four times and making the essay sound all over the place.
edit: Also, chasing chickens around the garden. My mum thought it'd be a great idea to let them out just for the day last week. They've decided they like it out there and it's a regular Benny hill sketch chasing the daft things around thesedays. Maybe this should've been a blood boiling post afterall

How long does the essay have to be? Paragraph one: he can't write for shit. Paragraph two: he's racist and nationalistic (i remember a line in one novel where James remarks that British food is the best in the world - really? in the 1960's?). Paragraph three: He's gay (overtly fond of his protagonist; misogynistic when it comes to women).
Done.

Many of Fleming's novels are IMO much better and especially more entertaining as movies as what they are as novels. But that's just me.
The reference to Benny Hill got me thinking of Boots Randolph's Yakety Sax used as the theme for the show and now i can't get the damn song out of my head.

Aagh!

Ian Fleming essay almost done. ODB keeps distracting me. Lots of coffee. Lorrie's analysis is pretty similar to mine, minus the second paragraph. Save the cash from modding the corolla and buy your own car.

Not the best piece I've ever done but slowly getting back into the swing of things after a long time off. It's a bit shonky in places and the fill is just too plain but I didn't have much time (or paint) so it'll have to do.
