Life is a black coffee lately - Dull, unpleasant, flavorless - Make it sweet with cream and sugar, Seek out sunbursts where I can. Of the same wood, but among the mulch, I am a bright yellow pencil. Or is it really a light orange? I just don't know anymore. I wish I were a fishing boat, Doomed to capsize by rogue waves. They'll call the great one Kanagawa. They'll call the great one Kanagawa.

FADE IN: EXT. HOTEL – NIGHT The hotel is a blandly colored L-shaped building, uniformly concise and simplistic in nearly every aspect of its construction. Identically sized and positioned windows are punctuated by doors whose only difference from each other is the number displayed at eye level. An occasional pair of plastic chairs with a small metal table between them provide infrequent breaks from the design monotony. A few cars occupy the perfectly square parking lot, sitting directly outside the door of the room in which their occupant resides, but it is for the most part empty, the neon of the establishment’s vacancy sign cast

FADE IN: EXT. DINER – NIGHT The building that the eatery resides inside of resembles a large, immobile trailer with some characteristics of a normal restaurant. Light from inside is cast out into the parking lot through the windows in rectangular blocks, and silhouettes of both customers and staff can be seen moving within. Behind the diner the cloud-spotted sky has become a deep midnight blue, and the moon sits fat and swollen among the visible stars. Night has fallen. The truck pulls into the lot. It is sparsely populated, with only a few cars near the door of the establishment, and the man pilots the vehicle into a similarly close s

FADE IN: EXT. DESERT HIGHWAY - DUSK TITLE CARD: “NEAR THE TEXAS-MEXICO BORDER” The desert is a vast, seemingly endless entity. It stretches as far in any direction as the eye can see, trailing off into the horizon where the dying sun seems to be melting it. SERIES OF SHOTS: At first glance it appears quite barren, but the sandy expanse thrums and pulsates with life. Tiny creatures, insects and rodents and reptiles of various kinds, emerge from the homes they have made for themselves within the earth in anticipation of the activities they will undertake during the night. Sparse bits of vegetation sprout up in various places, and

Where to even begin? Well, before Kaleidoscope, I wasn't sure what to make of Coldplay anymore. The band who once seemed destined to become the new great gentleman rockers after exploding onto the scene with 2000's Parachutes started to lose me as they delved deeper and deeper into pop, seemingly in the name of greater sales, moving away from what made their debut and A Rush of Blood to the Head so great. What I love about this new EP, however, a companion piece to their most recent studio album A Head Full of Dreams, is that it's the best of both worlds: while the desire to experiment with sounds borrowed from electronic, ambient and pop mus

Fall was on its way. And with it the cold, the death, the decay. How fitting, she thought. Fog drifted lightly over the lake, bright white in stark contrast to the general gloom of the morning, the glow of the sun not yet peeking over the tops of the trees ringing the small body of water. The girl sat close to the shore on the edge of a small pier jutting out into the inky black liquid, watching the leaves fall from a nearby willow tree. A shroud of darkness blanketed her immediate surroundings, overwhelming yet oddly comforting in its immensity, and she found herself thankful for its presence. She rose and walked slowly to the end of the p

The day was dull and dreary. Grey clouds against a greyer sky. Around noon a light rain began to fall, the first of many. Such showers weren’t rare occurrences for September. On the couch in the living room the two of them sat: sisters, an older one and a younger one, underneath a blue fleece blanket shared between them. A dull light shone through the sliding glass door built into the east wall, and dark silhouettes were cast across the walls from droplets of rain impacting the exterior surface and extending into thin streaks, stretching like tendrils towards the floor. The elder girl, dark-haired and about seventeen in appearance, sat
