Where I'm From
I am from vodka bottles, from Banff Ice and Smirnoff. I am from the downtown townhouses, loud, chaotic, the smell of cigarette smoke with every breath.

V’s Top Ten 80’s Movies
1. The Goonies - 1985 (dir. Richard Donner) This one is super nostalgic for me, I watched it a lot as a kid and had that Cyndi Lauper song, the one that Josh Brolin exercised to, memorized. Mouth is honestly like my favourite character and an inspiration for my own sass. If you’re looking for a quintessential 80’s classic family movie, one with adventure and found family, this one’s your best bet. This is the stuff that Stranger Things and It tries to be.

“I stand amid the roar of a surf-tormented shore, and I hold within my hand grains of the golden sand.” - "A Dream Within a Dream" by Edgar Allan Poe.

A Promise of Paradise
There is a lovely country, full of great elms and velvet meadows. But the places I can see skulk behind that conspicuous front design.
