An Interview with a Reporter: Tips and Advice!

Hello, Darklings! I recently conducted my first interview with Paul Fisher, a reporter for the Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald. The interview was highly successful in regards to being able to find out generalised and useful information on how to break into a very competitive sector especially in this day and age. The outcome of the interview has made me eager to step out of my comfort zone a lot more often since it was problem free and ran smoothly. I gained a lot of valuable knowledge and figured that the answers I received might be of interest to anyone whom is intrigued to know additional and insightful information from a valuable source and essentially, a professionals point of view. 

Review: The Darkness II // Video Game

Greetings, Darklings! I've been meaning to review "The Darkness II" for quite a while now since it's one of my all-time favourite gory psychological horror games. If that wasn't a captivating enough genre, it also contains light elements of roleplay. What a winner! I haven't had a lot of free time lately due to college deadlines being brought into the equation but now that I'm off college for two weeks, I'll be posting as frequently as I can since I'm an insomniac so be on the lookout for that and feel free to leave suggestions in the comments below as to what you would like to see me review/discuss. I tend to ramble a lot during every introductory paragraph... So, without further ado, let's begin. 

My November Favourites: Winter Edition!

Greetings, Darklings! It's been a few weeks since I last posted on here thus I apologise for the delay. I couldn't have been more wrong when I said that my hectic work schedule was on the verge of calming down. I dislike not being able to post as frequently as I'd like to. Ideally, I'd love to be able to have a new post up at least three or four times a week. The only problematic error is being able to find the time especially when I'm currently being faced with an abundance of work with deadlines. Today, I wanted to do something a bit different and I felt that by doing a favourites post, this would be a reasonable justification in regards to how generous I've been to myself this month. It was worth a shot, right? This is going to evolve into a very, very long read so grab yourself some snacks, a wee cup of tea and enjoy! 

My Favourite Comedy Films!

Greetings, Darklings! Today, I thought I'd feature six films that I'm eternally ranting and raving about. Each comedic treat is packed with memorable quotes and a bucket of laughter... or two, or maybe even three...

Update: College, Internship and Winterhearth!

Greetings, Darklings! I apologise for the slight delay in posts. I thought I’d update you guys on where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing as mundane as my life is. While I'm here, I thought I’d let you know that I'll be posting every Monday and Thursday.

Time Duration: 2 hours and 26 minutes
Click here to watch the trailer

Greetings, Darklings! I've decided to kick-start my first film analysis with one of my favourite classic crime films of all-time, Goodfellas. There's nothing I love more than an intriguing crime show or movie, for that matter. However, when Martin Scorsese is brought into the equation - nine times out of ten - I'm highly impressed with the way he, as a director, caters for a more complex genre. I’d regard this masterpiece as being one of Scorsese’s finest pieces of work, as controversial as it might be. However, my reasoning as to why I think this will become clear further on in the analysis. 

Fashion: Season of the Witch

Greetings, Darklings! As you've probably guessed by now, my wardrobe is an eternal pit of black, black and more black - mix that with my pale complexion, dark hair and I may as well be a creature of the night."Does this black match?" has become a light-hearted joke within my daily routine of getting dressed every morning. I adore the weather leading up the the festive season. Funnily enough, I become a more content person. Pumpkin spice lattes and cosy clothes are a winner in my books. Add Keaton Henson's 'Birthdays' album and alluring architecture into the equation and I'm ready to set off for the day.
