Yesterday was a pleasant day. I headed over to Brunswick to hang with Tom. We had a coffee and went out for lunch and chilled at his place for a bit. Twas cool. Last night played some soccer, I think we lost. The day before that was a full day at work but it was quite good because I ended up writing a fair bit. Wrote about eight short pieces of which three or four I think I'll be able to extend into full sketches. It was a bit of a relief because up until then I've had some writer's block, just had to push through it I suppose. I might put some short pieces on this blog perhaps, I'm not sure.

'The Fog of War' (2003) directed by Errol Morris

A well constructed, thought provoking documentary centred around the former U.S. Secretary of Defense, Robert S. McNamara. The film uses interviews with McNamara as the main structural device and also uses a lot of compelling archival footage. The film is split into eleven parts, based around eleven lessons learnt from the life of McNamara. The film is great viewing chiefly because McNamara is such a charismatic speaker, he really offers a unique insight into recent American history, politics and war.
