Every day, once a day, give yourself a present

Back when I was obsessed with Twin Peaks, and before the Showtime revival was announced (and our collective hearts broke when David Lynch left as director) I wanted to create a master post of everything Twin Peaks. I then forgot about it and became too busy to complete it- or more accurately felt paralyzed by the immensity of the task at hand. Looking back over what I had so far I realised I did have enough content to create something eerie and mysterious, but also that Twin Peaks is so complex it was almost impossible anyway. I was more interested in the buildings and landscape, rather than the relationships between each character or how they were portrayed throughout the series. The background of a small town was the most affective backdrop to the mystery thriller series which enthralled America, but also subverted the closeness of tight-knit communities everywhere. It's for this reason that pop culture fanatics make pilgrimages back to where the series was originally filmed and place themselves amongst the scenery.

dog days are over

It's occurred to me that a lot of the content I've blogged over the last month or so has simply added to the 'noise' of the Internet and for that I'm sorry. Keeping on top of my workload for uni has really hampered any efforts to read articles and improve my writing style. Hence why a lot of my blog posts are a jumbled and incoherent mess of trendy terms to have at the ready. I suppose in many capacities I'm struggling to really reach audiences but at the core of the problem is the quality of my content. Hopefully soon I will have a little more time to myself and have a little more balance between blogging and academic life I can't make any promises. They say in order to create you must first destroy. Deconstruction is coming soon, slowly but surely. I just have to sort out the mess that is my head and my life at the moment.
