euan morton : the journal
summer lovin'
monday 5 july 2010
An eon has passed it seems since we last spoke. The dinosaurs may have
been roaming the earth the last time I had a free second to write a journal
entry. A lot has happened, the dinosaurs are dead now.
How are we? Did you have a good celebration of Independence? It always
leaves me a little sad to know that those stupid, red uniforms helped us get
our asses kicked. Another empire collapses only to allow one more to rise.

chess
The two greatest chess masters - one American, one Russian -
competing to be the best in the world. And yet their greatest contest is
for the love of the same woman. Amidst political intrigue and international conspiracies, American Freddie Trumper and Russian Anatoly Sergievsk fight to take the queen in a romantic triangle that mirrors the heightened passions of the Cold War. Originally produced on Broadway in 1988, this Tony®-nominated cult rock musical explores the classic themes of love, loss and betrayal.
