'East': On relationships

Alice and I, we are in what society loosely calls a ‘relationship’, though, in the greater scheme of things, we are just another example of one pair of castaways on neighbouring islands, amongst a dizzying network of similarly proximate and undersubscribed land masses, choosing to exist just close enough to one other to share that occasional, familiar and fleeting moment of human impression that subsides, if only briefly, the absolute and professional loneliness of being.

Do You Like DVDs?


I don't think I could count 10 Things I Hate About You.

There are ten things about you I Love, Actually.

Like when you bought me Chocolate, with Audrey Tatou.

Or those 500 Days of Summer we spent Clueless in Notting Hill.

There was The Break-Up, The Proposal and then The Holiday too.

Even at My Best Friend's Wedding when they said, She's Just Not That In To You;

I was lost, delirious and Sleepless in Seattle

But you showed me The Notebook and said I'll be Julia and you can be Hugh.

We had our time in Casablanca and stuck our toes in the sand

But it's over all right? I'm with Brad now. I just told him - I Love You, Man.
