I love the artwork of Geoff Taylor he’s my favourite fantasy book cover illistrator. Take some time out to look at his galleries.

Now one of the most important things I’ve seen for a while is this Hitchhikers Trailer and
website.
There is an interview with the scriptwriter which makes interesting reading. Everyone knows how much Douglas Adams agonised over his words, and the interview touches on how DA had written the first version of the script. Discussing some of the things removed and that had to be put back by the final scriptwriter.
I can’t wait to see the film, but also to see the versions of the scripts and see what DA thought was not important enough to be in the film.

I Hope You Dance…
I thought I’d start posting lyrics that I really like. It’s always bothered me that song lyrics are never afforded the same respect as poetry gets. The first two are topical as they hasve both been covered by Ronan Keating, and are either on release now or about to be! Strange.
I Hope You Dance
Lee Ann WomackI hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances but they’re worth takin’,
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’,
Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin’ out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.Dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance..
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone

Blade Runner and Guy Fawkes
While driving home on Friday night, over the top road to my house which runs over the plateau which is the highest point in the New Forest I believe- anway, it is a fantastic flat panoramic, I was watching the many many firework displays going off, and it reminded me so much of the opeing scenes of bladerunner.
