Five year plan.
alone.
At 5 am, my niece woke me up to tell me they were all leaving and that I should switch off my light (I’d fallen asleep reading Down and Out in Paris and London) and go back to sleep. She sounded … bossy. But also concerned. I suppose it runs in the genes.
Anyway, so my family is now in KL. And I’ve been nursing anxiety about this whole being-alone-at-home thing since...

Anyway, I stumbled across a bunch of old things, most of which I tossed aside without too much...

Have you watched that scene from Sicko where Michael Moore brings a group of 9/11 volunteers to Cuba to get cheap meds because they’ve been suffering with respiratory diseases for years without any aid from the government cos they aren’t real firefighters? Pretty sad.

BOLD PREDICTION
Knowing will be a runaway hit at the box office.
How do I know this? Because my mother said she wants to watch it.
Whenever my mother points out a film that she’s actually willing to spend money on, it’s one of two things: it appeals to the old person part of her (think feel good Morgan Freeman films) or it’s like a real awesome movie.
Also, the fact that my mother is aware of...
