That’s right gang.

ALL

YOUR QUESTIONS

ANSWERED.

Not only that, but answered on a PARADISE GREEK ISLAND during my HONEYMOON!

There, brothers and sisters, is dedication.

Shout out my question master.

And YOU for your great questions! Dream collaborations, working methods, inspiration, motivation, love and marriage and homelessness – all these things and more were discussed over two days and three sessions, totalling over an hour and a half that I managed to get down to 50ish minutes without cutting out your questions.

I would also like to thank the good people of the Hotel Kalimera, Akotiri, Santorini, where we were staying. They were beyond amazing. Intellectuals, saints, and makers of fine bacon and eggs and rum-based drinks. Amongst other things. They upgraded us to the honeymoon sweet on our third day! And lent us books on ancient Greence and Atlantis! They were the finest hosts a honeymooning couple could ever ask for, and their hotel is a beautiful palace on the side of the island with the least tourists, right next to a gang of beautiful beaches, The Archeological Place, and a flipping VOLCANO.

I wanna go back, like, now. They have a recording studio not far from where we stayed…

The video is also noteworthy in it is the first that I have out together on my Macbook Pro, with Final Cut Pro X. I rather liked it, the magnetic timeline in particular is very useful indeed. I have decided to make a lot more videos. People like them. I like them. Video is an area I have a lot of progress to make in, as discussed in the inquisition, and I do like a challenge. If you have any great ideas for things you’d like to see me do with video, let me know in the comments.

PAX!

I am taking advantage of this sudden burst of internet at the reception desk of the Hotel Kalimera, where we’re staying. We’re investigating renting a car to go and explore the top of the island. That beautiful gif up there was taken two days ago in Fira, the capital, where all the visiting cruise ships and The Tourists swarm like hungry bees.

 

We are staying in Akrotiri, miles away from The Tourists, and it is pretty much the most beautiful place I have ever seen. And the hotel is run by saints – Flora, currently manning reception, just gave me some eyedrops after one of my contact lenses nearly fell out. Her brother is hooking me up with his digital record collection. I am very excited by Greek music, some of it is incredibly dramatic.

Being on Honeymoon is entirely wonderful. I haven’t been this relaxed since I was in the womb. I am by this point the colour of a rusty old jeep. We spend our days exploring the island, splashing around in the surf like porpoises and lazing around on the sand reading. To my amazement, I have just run out of books, having made my way through Grant Morrison’s entire Batman And Robin run, a collection of Bukowski short stories, and The Rum Diary.

Anyway, I should go now, I just relaised I am Not Relaxing, I am typing. Typing in paradise! Foolishness!
