'If you don't go when you want to go, when you do go, you'll find you've gone.'
As for the new batch of tv shows that cropped up lately, none of the newcomers yet managed to blow my socks off.

'The illusion of effortlessness requires a great effort indeed.'
I just acquired the 'Era New Horizons' Film Festival ticket card. That I bought it more than four months before the festival actually starts shows just how freaking steamed up I am about the whole thing ( Read more... )
