Fishwick Papers: The "niall horan crawling inside your ear" Edition

Gooooooood evening!

The first week back at work has been quiet (a few people aren't back until next week) but with a lot of work being done to prepare ourselves for the rest of the year. I've been doing research into lots of different areas of film and tv, and thinking a lot about narrative in exhibitions. Good times.

This weekend I'll be moving furniture into my apartment (goodbye, air mattress!) and setting it up to be a real house that I can live in. Huzzah!

Today's Fishwick papers is a real good'un. I hope you enjoy it.
