www.vincentwrites.net

Goodbye Blogger, hello again Wordpress. You can find my new site on www.vincentwrites.net. It includes everything that I've written so far:

  • electricpublishing.blogspot.com
  • favourits.blogspot.com (purposefully mispelled)
  • justforsng.blogspot.com
  • foodandretail.blogspot.com
  • personal blogsites
  •  I'll slowly import my writing www.TechITEasy.org as well.
In the end, I hope it will serve as both a portfolio and as a platform for new writing (fiction, non-fiction, and reviews).

See you there!

In Web: hey are you cool

It's perhaps because I'm in a melancholic mood thinking about stories, twists, turns, and stuff, but this site's slice-of-life narrative really appealed to me. I could not imagine being there (this is about the game DayZ), but I certainly appreciate the drama of these moments. Anyway, like reading a sort of story, it gives a strong insight into what "daily life" is like in DayZ, with Zombies and the survival part of it.

In Movies: Casse-tête chinois / The Chinese Puzzle

It's been a while that I wrote on this blog. I'm in the process of writing a story, which is keeping me busy. Of course, I'm still watching movies, tv-shows, and eating good food, so more reviews will trickle in...

La Casse-Tête Chinois, which followed Les Poupées Russes,  and L'Auberge Espagnole, is a journey from being an international student in Barcelona, to the frustration of early adulthood (Les poupées was a very frustrating movie), to 'the liberation' of letting go of all the stress you built up in your thirties and becoming the man or woman you wanted to be.

The movie or movies are built up as a narrative of someone telling the story of their life and those connected to him. It could easily be a weblog that's being written, instead it's a series of books that our protagonist is working on during the story taking place in each respective movie.

La Casse-Tête Chinois is the conclusion to this trilogy. It's not a happy, nor an unhappy ending, but the completion of a stage in life. If you want to describe living as being most exciting in your early twenties and getting progressively more stable and less dynamic, then you are probably describing the movies quite well. The last movie is less dynamic but incredibly satisfying over the mess that was Les Poupées Russes, which was just a depressing movie.

Overall probably my favourite trilogy ever, even though there are other contenders in other genres that I'll write about at some point.
