Heen says:
I was walking back from my origami class the other evening when I bumped into my old friend Woody. I hadn’t seen him for years. He hadn’t changed much – the same scruffy hair, the same scruffy glasses, the same scruffy ideas. I’d planned to go home and have an early night, but Woody [...]

(DON’T KNOW WHAT THIS IS ABOUT? CHECK OUT THE SOMONTANO MONKEY DYSLEPSIS PAGE!!)
Chapter 2
Oh people hear me before we die:
Beyond unreached diaresis of silence twixt the sands of universality and contorted camouflage becoming awake searching to the ground inevitably discovered realisations practical liquid combs and angst among the undergrowth of sinister fate.

What To Drink While Watching “Pride and Prejudice”
Sheen says:
The obvious way to start this commentary would be something like this:

What To Drink While Watching “Unforgiven”
Heen says:
This film comes into the category of films called “I always wanted to see it but never got round to”. Set in 1880, it was filmed in1992, but it could have been made in the sixties or today, thanks to its “universal” nature, that kind of uchronia that director Clint Eastwood feeds into the [...]

Heen and Expo Zaragoza
Heen says:
Sheen seems to be hogging this blog of late, so I’m going to take advantage of her indisposition and share a few of my thoughts with you, oh cherished reader. I hope you liked my poem inspired by the photo I took of some weird rocks recently. If you can identify the rocks in [...]
