Strange to think I could possibly be turning 28 about....now. Are you sure? No. I'm dubious. Take the dub out and you're not left with much...of both that word, or music, or life in general. I'm happy to say the first mix of my 28th year my ears have the pleasure listening to is by my good friend Maarten Klein: http://soundcloud.com/maarten-klein/big-daddy-klein-dubstep-mix.
Does anyone else find your birthday always seems a long way off until suddenly it's upon you, having crept up in the night and waited patiently for the right time to pounce. I can't quite believe it's almost the end of October already, in a year that is flying by at an unprecedented rate, twisting and turning and throwing up surprises along the way. And with plans afoot for much of next year the future looks to be mapped out ahead of me, which I both love and hate at the same time; excitement at events that I know will be amazing, but also wary of making too many plans, planning your life away as Randle would say, no spontanaeity...not that I really agree with that, though it made a refreshing change to be free last Friday after work and meet up for impromptu drinks with the gang in Clapham.
Mad Men. Is anyone watching series 4 on the iplayer? Loved the first 3, and I wasn't aware any more were being filmed so assumed that it was being brought a natural conclusion as 3 wound down, only to be thrown a curveball in the finale and to suddenly discover 4 was airing just a few weeks after...excellent timing. I absolutely loved the first 3; the detail, the intrigue, the slick dialogue and character development. I realise that the writers reached a point where they had to shake up the storyline and refresh certain dynamics and settings, but for me this series is not as good as the others so far because I think the creators are now unsure of where to take the story, and more precisely, Don, next. However, they may suddenly ramp it up at any moment and leave us in admiration at the new direction...but I can't see it happening somehow, which is a shame. Has it run its course? I'm off to watch episode 7 to find out.
Final thing. Loved this line from 7 Days this week. Ben's mum is talking about how she once starred in a pantomime whilst in prison many years ago...to which her date asks: "Was it a captive audience?" Genius.
