  • I’ve no problem with people who can afford it focusing their lives around art, lifestyle, experiences etc.

    What gets me is when such people describe it as some kind of moral choice and how people who aren’t doing that are somehow wrong, rather than “Oh my God I’m so exceptionally lucky to be able to live like this and will shut my fucking mouth to any judgement about other people who don’t have these opportunities because they’re busy trying not to be homeless”









  • I. Pose in front of mirror with it, start work on John Wick inspired medical action drama script in head.

    Become overly distracted by it, wondering who would direct, what music to play over scenes, who would play the love interest…

    Forget to do basic diligence on another patients’ results. Morbidity and Mortality hearing. Malpractice case.

    Try to argue your own defence, but just can’t get the idea of “Love shack” by the B-52’s playing over the scene where you perform CPR on the president on top of the speeding ambulance. Would “Good vibrations” work better, or strike the wrong tone? Does the scene NEED to be at a beach? But then the tidal wave wouldn’t work…

    Struck off. Escorted out of hospital, allowed only to get your things from your locker. Security guard standing behind you, unsmiling as you pile notebooks and overly annotated script drafts into a duffle bag.

    Suddenly, his radio goes off. Something weird happening at the main entrance, backup needed urgently!! Conflicted, he looks at you with a mix of pity and contempt, before barking an instruction to get your stuff and go as he runs towards the main entrance.

    Screams outside, as what looks like a ninja lands on the window outside the locker room, before somersaulting down with an Uzi in each hand. Doves take flight as he does so, in slow motion.

    You’ve still got the gun.

    It’s happening.

    Opening your white coat so it will swoop dramatically, you find “final FINAL final tracklist” on your phone, and hit play, as you pick up the prop nunchucks you brought for script research…
