Through a stroke or two of good luck I was fortunate enough to see The Imitation Game twice before its release on 14 November (28 November in the U.S.). One screening was actually free thanks the Radio Times. It did involve a long Tube trip on three different lines down to Wimbledon but it was… Continue reading Always Learning

I love words; I believe they have power. I have a passion for telling stories. Fact or fiction, it doesn’t matter.
On the more technical side of things, I have an undergraduate degree in Technical Communications. This means I am trained to be a technical writer. I have been taught to take long and complicated pieces of information and shorten them up and make them readable/digestible to an audience. I also have a special and distracting knack for editing. Finally, I hold a Masters in Marketing Management. Combining these two degrees, I now work as a B2B martech content writer.
The Great TV Debate
Last week I gave you something a bit different. It was a little photographic taste of a walk I took in Hampstead Heath. It was about getting out, being in nature, and enjoying what the outside has to offer. This week, we head back inside and flop ourselves down in front of what is many… Continue reading The Great TV Debate
A Stroll Through Hampstead Heath
Today was one of those days that could have easily been written off as one where I should have just stayed in bed. It had the makings of that early on, at least. It was just one of those days where things just felt out of kilter. My local Starbucks was completely packed which meant… Continue reading A Stroll Through Hampstead Heath
Changing Habits: Procrastination
It's about 9:00pm on a March evening. I have a 2500 word Literature Review due in 24 hours. I've done all the research. I have journal articles that cover each part of the topic that I've read, made notes on, and organised into sections. I've even created an outline and colour coded it with each source so I… Continue reading Changing Habits: Procrastination
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to See James Rhodes…Take 2
I’m doing a bit of a follow-up to a story I recounted about a month ago. Here is the original post if you’ve forgotten it, missed it, or are new to this blog (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to See James Rhodes). I really should be embarrassed about this story but my stupidity,… Continue reading A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to See James Rhodes…Take 2
When Words Fail You
It’s not easy being a writer. I’m just going to put that out there. I’m not looking for sympathy or anything of the sort. How could I ask for commiseration for something I clearly choose to do even if it does not currently come with any monetary reward? I actually just felt the need to… Continue reading When Words Fail You
Woes of an Introvert…The Search For Friends
A couple of days ago I was grumbling to a friend back in the States that I was having problems finding friends in London. Yes, I have colleagues from the university I attend and they are great but I’m considerably older than most of them and we really don’t have much in common outside of… Continue reading Woes of an Introvert…The Search For Friends
iPhone 4s….Please Don’t Make Me Say Goodbye
Hey! Have you heard the news? Apple came out with a new iPhone last week! If you haven’t heard I will assume you just returned from a on a remote island with no internet, television, or news. Hope you enjoyed your holiday. For everyone else, so, yeah, there’s a couple new iPhones out. Did you… Continue reading iPhone 4s….Please Don’t Make Me Say Goodbye
Letters
I've been reading a biography of Alan Turning, Alan Turning: The Enigma, written by Andrew Hodges. The Imitation Game comes out in the cinema soon and I want to educate myself a bit before I see the film. It's quite interesting despite Hodges' extensive discussion of mathematics which will probably get even more complicated as… Continue reading Letters
A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to See James Rhodes
I have been excited about this night (10 September 2014) since July. Tonight was the night I was going to go see classical pianist, James Rhodes, live. I bought my ticket as soon as I saw he was touring and was a giddy mess all day today just knowing how wonderful tonight was going to… Continue reading A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to See James Rhodes
