| Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been suffering from an injury to my hip. One of the pain killers I was taking was amitriptytline which took a couple of days to kick in as a pain killer. However, the immediate effect was to make me sedated and really a bit trippy – not sure if that is a medical term but that is how I felt. Fortunately I didn’t need the pain killing effects of this drugs so was able to quickly come off of it but for the couple or so days I was on it was some of the strangest I have had in a long time!
Whilst I was disabled with my hip I was watched one of my favourite films again – Watchman. It is full of holes and faults but I think the one it did capture was the comic book look and feel – something that Zack Snyder seems to have mastered really well. One of the character’s I’ve been trying to capture is silk spectre – in particularly the 1940’s sense of sexiness – to date I don’t think I’ve quite got it but it is getting better than my earlier attempts. I have also come up with a new measure of capacity of Iron Age salt containers – the Saxo 360g test – how many of these salt containers can fit into a Briquetage. It is going to change the whole understanding of the Iron Age salt trade I’m sure so remember you heard it here first. Pip Pip. |
