‘It is happening again.’
(For all you Peakies out there. Best TV show ever! I’m convinced that David Lynch knew things the rest of us don’t.)
Somebody from the UK is still reading my blog in the early hours of the morning. Why would anybody do that? Life’s a mystery. I think I'll go and sleep on it.

...until death do re-unite or the Priestess return to Avalon.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
The moving finger writes and, having writ, moves on. Nor all your piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all your tears wash out a word of it.
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self .
This character appears in one of my short stories, and also in the novel. He's sadder than he looks, poor thing.
About Me
- JJ
- Ashbourne, Derbyshire, United Kingdom
- I've never had money because I've never been driven by money. I received little formal education beyond the age of sixteen, which isn't such a bad thing since you get a different angle on life that way. Learning what you want and need to learn often reveals things that the system's road keeps hidden.

Free Fiction
I have another blog called A Handful of Stories on which I've posted some of my short fiction. Most of it has been published by a variety of independent small press publishers, so somebody other than me must have thought it worth reading.

how funny, I just had a dream about "Twin Peaks" last night and I kept trying to remember the name of "Laura Palmer". I went to the place in Washington where Dale had his slice of cherry pie and a cup o' damn good joe. You don't love the show? One of my favorites. And add David Lynch to the dinner party. He combined darkness, humour, light and faith all together which is why I think he's brilliant. And the acting on the show, amazing, at least to me.
Oh ok just read your post again and say you did like "T.P." Brilliant minds think alike, yes? :)
No show in the history of TV was as compelling to me as that one. It had absolutely everything. British terrestrial TV showed it twice a week, so I watched every episode twice. It even had me eating cherry pie! I was the most avid Peakie or Tweakie,as you prefer. That particular line stayed with me because I went into a shop to tell them that I was still having a problem with something I'd bought there. I began 'It is happening again,' and a girl in the shop rushed over to tell me that she was a big fan too. Happy days. And the music...
