The Therapy Diaries Chapter 19: American Psycho the sequel?!?!

By Robert Welbourn on Monday, June 13, 2022

I bet you had no idea did you? That American Psycho, the polarising (to put it mildly) masterpiece (to be even more understated) from Bret Easton Ellis, has a sequel. I mean the book, obviously. Not that ridiculously boring movie adaptation everyone creams over for some reason. Sure, Christian Bale is amazing in his portrayal …

The Therapy Diaries Chapter 18: Praise the Lorde

By Robert Welbourn on Monday, June 6, 2022

I went to see Lorde a couple of weeks ago. I was lucky enough to get tickets for the Leeds show on the Solar Power world tour when they originally went on sale a long time ago. Did they go on sale pre-COVID and then the show got rearranged, or was this one of the …

The Therapy Diaries Chapter 17: You BELONGING with me

By Robert Welbourn on Wednesday, June 1, 2022

Obviously the actual lyric/song title is “you belong with me” but the novel is called Belonging, so I had to shoehorn it in anyway. What novel is this, I hear you ask? What Belonging? Who Belonging? Why Belonging? Well, Belonging is my novel! My second novel! And it’s been signed and will be published by …

The Therapy Diaries Chapter 16: This Ozark character is actually Jesus

By Robert Welbourn on Wednesday, May 4, 2022

This post is about the ending to the Netflix series Ozark. I’m a bit reticent to write it, as I’m worried this blog may end up being just a film and TV and video game and book review blog, which it wasn’t my intention to have it as. But I guess things grow and mutate …

The Therapy Diaries Chapter 15: The Northman

By Robert Welbourn on Monday, April 18, 2022

Controversial opinion: the Judeo-Christian God is really boring. What, just one dude, supposedly white and beardy, sits on a cloud with the angels and makes sure no one masturbates, and no men fuck each other? Boooooooooooring. Look at Hinduism, for example. They have Ganesha, a person with an elephant head and four arms. Or Shiva, …

The Therapy Diaries Chapter 14: Writing About Being Unable to Write

By Robert Welbourn on Sunday, April 17, 2022

I was going to write a piece about my top 5 Stephen King novels. I still will, just not yet. I was going to write a piece about some of the excellent books I’ve read recently. I still will, just not yet. I was going to just dump a load of quotes that I like …

The Therapy Diaries Chapter 13: Peaky Blinders Finale Thoughts

By Robert Welbourn on Friday, April 8, 2022

Well, fuck me, what a ride. 6 seasons, yet only 36 episodes (BBC innit), and yet it feels like several lifetimes have passed since I checked out this Peaky Blinders programme that everyone is banging on about. It’s pretty fucking good isn’t it? That is, until season 6. Here’s my review of the final episode …

The Therapy Diaries Chapter 12 – The World Cannot Give by Tara Isabella Burton, a book review

By Robert Welbourn on Thursday, March 17, 2022

Let’s talk about transcendence, shall we? It’s 1am, and I’m writing this blog when I should be sleeping. You might say I’ve transcended the need for sleep. Well, even though your saying it would be a safe bet, it’s absolutely wrong. I absolutely need sleep; I have to be up at 7am, in just six …

The Therapy Diaries Chapter 11 – The City That Supposedly Never Sleeps

By Robert Welbourn on Monday, March 7, 2022

I found something out yesterday, and I wonder if it’ll blow your mind as much as it did mine. Did you know that New York is real? You’re probably wondering what the hell I mean by this statement. Let me try to elaborate. Warning; this blog entry is going to be messy. I’m going to …

The Therapy Diaries Chapter 10 – Justifying my Problematic Behaviour

By Robert Welbourn on Sunday, February 20, 2022

Earlier this week – it’s Sunday morning as I write this – I was watching John Hughes’ 1984 masterpiece Sixteen Candles. If you haven’t seen it, it stars heroine not just of the movies, but then entirety of the 80s themselves, Molly Ringwald. She plays Samantha, a young lady who, like all Americans in the …
