Five Cool Things And A Larch

I thought I had previously posted a bunch of my Five Cool Things articles, but it appears that is not true. So, I thought I’d return to the beginning and post the first one I wrote. Before I started writing these articles for Cinema Sentries I had a separate blog where I was writing about the things I was enjoying every day.

It was just for fun, like I said earlier it was a way of bringing a little joy into a dark world. I did it enough that I wanted to bring it to a larger audience, hence Cinema Sentries. The owner of the site liked the idea but we struggled with a title for it. I knew I wanted to do more than just one cool thing per article and somehow we landed on five things and then we added the “And…”. As a joke my friend decided the first article should be And…a Larch (don’t ask me why.)

And here we are. It is fun reading these old articles and see the things I was enjoying back then. This first one was written in January of 2017. That seems a lifetime ago. You can check it out here.

Five Cool Things and David Lynch

I used to write an article for Cinema Sentries entitled “Five Cool Things And…” the “And” being a sixth cool thing that worked as a way of making the title unique and usually highlighting something current (whereas many of the other things were rather old.).

I took what I thought was going to be a short break during the Pandemic. Nearly four years later I’m finally writing it again.

The basic idea is to highlight interesting and fun (and cool) things I’ve consumed over the last couple of weeks. I like the idea of sharing a little joy in these dark times.

My first one just landed and you can read it here.
