Chapter 67.5: Rhys + Leeway = Juvie
Linen Mill Studios, Banbridge. August 2011.
This truly was a song of ice and fire.
Just recently, I couldn’t stop quibbing about Northern Ireland being a summertime tundra. Yet now, at those identical coordinates, my frigid temper had melted, and I was enduring grievous swamp ass.

Banbridge, Northern Ireland. August 2011.
Winter is coming.
A novelty of a bygone era to my postmodern mentality, to be sure. While many in my displaced position might savour the unseasonable chilliness, my equatorial disposition had my nose inflamed, as if I’d been snorting red cans of coke. That, or to the occ...

Chapter 65.5: Norton Panty-Virus
The London Studios, Central London. June 2011.
Pop-psychology coined the term ‘Peter Pan syndrome’. A phenomenon that pertains to people who’ve grown taller, grown older, but who willfully refuse to grow up.
As I cocooned myself within the scratchy curtains backstage, playing hide-and-seek,...

Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London. June 2011.
Snakes didn’t have feet, yet I found myself booted out of bed by one. “Oof-!”
The plush carpet fibres stabbing suddenly into the skin of my bare ass shocked my eyes open - but not fully awake. The abrupt shift away from high thread count sheets and th...

Bas’ Old Foster Home, Cardiff. May 2011.
Early adolescent psychological development was a constant tug of war between good and evil. As a den mother who had spent nigh on two decades raising a football team’s worth of children almost annually, Mrs. Stephens was well aware how pivotal a poor or positive influence was....

“Here we are. Half a dozen boiled eggs, crisped lean ham, and a bowl of assorted tropical fruit.” I planted cutlery on the kitchen island. “Tuck in.”

WB Headquarters, Beverly Hills. April 2011.
Victory.
Victory wasn’t a grand moment in the sun. Neither was it a bruised fist raised over the prostrate form of an enemy. And it most certainly wasn’t the friends we made along the way.
Not in this town, that’s for sure.
No.

Bedroom Sound Stage, Hollywood. April 2011.

Brentwood, LA. March 2011.

Anita’s Hacienda, Calabasas. January 2011.
Anita was sweating.

Uniqlo Satellite HQ, LA. January 2011.
An honest day’s work. Largely, a foreign concept lost on a wealthy, young wastrel such as me. The only sort of head-banging that suited me was witnessed at concerts, not the frustrated forehead desk slamming secretly caught on office CCTVs.
