This is where my old friend Irene usually tells me “tag your porn”

This gorgeous piece, painted with gold on silk paper, was brought back for me from India. Apt, since I’m currently working on HEAVEN’S FOREST, an adaptation/remix of The Ramayana, commissioned by Netflix International/ Netflix India, originally asked of me by Adi Shankar. It now sits overlooking me on a shelf in the office.

It would have had a weather stamp on it, but Weathershot Pro, a paid app, has been turned off in favour of their new subscription-fee app. It was supposed to go “unsupported,” but it now crashes on opening – which I suspect means they’ve simply turned it off. I am not impressed with their shit either.

Probably not the technical term

House clearing day. Just discovered at the bottom of a box: my old BERG white lab coat. I think only William Gibson has the other white coat from BERG?

Cheers, lads. The next beer is raised to you and those strange lovely times.

So remember when I got a small box of Amazon Video screener DVDs and said “well done for not sending me a fucking hatbox with a MRS MAISEL DVD in it like last year?”

I spoke too soon. Absolute madness. It contains casino chips, coasters and a photo album containing the DVDs. I have to give the team credit for going all out and being completely surprising.

Deep focus, he said, before going downstairs to crisp some bresaola in the oven (180C, 11 minutes)

NOW we work.
