The greatest achievements where at first, and for sometime, dreams...

Tuesday 27 April 2010

I'm planning on making a concentrated and regular effort in updating this blog with more than just my self-indulgent and boring moans and using it as a vaguely interesting journal/attempt at noting down obsessions and things i love on a whim. Like Galex.

So, right now, being in the middle (yes the actual halfway point!) of the final series of Ashes to Ashes, the Kudos show which really, honestly does have a cult following (noun: A cult following is used to refer to a small or large group of fans that are either somewhat or highly dedicated to a specific area of pop culture. A common component of cult followings is the "emotional ownership" and attachment fans have with the object of the cult following, often identifying themselves and other fans as members of a community of fans) to the point when I've started to analyse real life, looking at the clock "oh it's 11:11 exactly! Do you think that's significant? Wait...this isn't A2A. Damn."

This also means my iPod has become taken over by 80s music and I feel like I'm constantly humming David Bowie to myself.
Current favourite: Love Action - The Human League which reached No 3 in the UK in 1981.

Along with that, there's the constantly wonderful wardrobe of Alex Drake aka Bolly Knickers... I'm in love with wearing long tops over skinny jeans with oversized blazers and boots and adding red beads. Not that I have a HOPE of ever looking as gorgeous as Keeley Hawes does but still :) And watching all the behind the scenes features, and listening to the audio commentaries keeps making me get over excited, like they always do regardless of the show, that there's a chance, however tiny, that someday in the future I might be part of all this...that I might be on set, or sitting in a room somewhere editing the rushes of a day's filming for a show that people might spend as much time analysing and squeeing over that I do over Ashes. It's such an exciting thought. I'm going to do EVERYTHING to get there :)

That's all for now :) xx
