Leigh Brackett quote

"She was part of all the things he had left behind him long ago. She was the lost music and the forgotten dreams, the pity and the tenderness, the whole shadowy world he had glimpsed in childhood but never since"

                                                          Leigh Brackett, "Sea Kings of Mars"

Beginings...

"You can't knock old British stuff!" as my wife said to me recently. I've been following a fair few blogs over the past few years, and feel inspired to start my own (although I'm sure we all know that the last thing the internet needs at this point is yet *another* blog). I've got a bunch of ideas in my head about what I'd like to try and write about, and "Old British Stuff" seemed to encompass quite a few of them. I can always change it if it goes in a different direction. I'm interested in having a space to write about the books, films, music, and comics that I'm interested in, and I thought having a semi-public space like this might encourage me to actually write about some of them. But we'll see. It certainly wouldn't be the first time I've had a wonderfull idea that's then petered out as I've lost the interest or the energy to maintain it. We'll see...
