Alliterating Sunday…



Suburban Sunday started with purchasing some smoke alarms and new mattresses.  Closets were cleaned, pumps were placed and flowers freshened.

Then it became Spontaneous Sunday by slipping into NYC to meet a faraway friend for candid conversation while sipping spring-like spirits…

Ex Machina Revisited...



Time to gush a bit – it cannot be contained because I am inspired!  

I knew that I would see Ex Machina because of the cast.   It turned out to be a fantastic movie with superb acting.  It will also have a special place in my heart because my first viewing was at the premiere in Dublin.  Plus meeting Domhnall after that Q & A just took it to another level. 

What I did not realize was that I would walk out of it finding a new writer that would fascinate me – Alex Garland.  After coming home, I realized how much of his work I have already seen in film. 

Besides his writing, he has a brilliant mind and I have been devouring the interviews (both international and local).  Even better was when he replied to me during a twitter Q & A – got to hear about what music inspires his writing.  (Bonus is that now I have new bands to listen to)

I’m looking forward to what he writes next but in the meantime, I have a few more books to read!!  (and go see Ex Machina a few more times)
