Long time no blog!
Had a bit of whatever the drawing version of writer's block is called. Came back from Edinburgh with all these ideas of things to do and couldn't settle on one certain thing, I've basically been starting a lot of stuff then getting side tracked by something else and not finishing anything.....
So I've decided to finish one work in progress off just to ease the blockage...........hopefully!
I'm sure that a lot of people won't know who the person above is supposed to be, but if you're a fan of Parks & Recreation I'm hoping you will.
Maybe not the most well known programme on TV, but if you like your American comedies you may have heard about it and even hunted it down on BBC Four or 'borrowed' it off the Internet.
It's a fly on the wall 'mockumentery' style comedy which yes may have been overdone since The Office hit big, but it is funny and although the lead character Leslie Knope could be seen as a female David Brent/Michael Scott - come the second season she's more developed, in this series set in local government.
But the main draw for me is Ron Swanson; part Ron Burgandy part caveman, director of the Parks and Recreation department, who despises the general public and holds high hopes for the department to be as ineffective as possible.Hunter, fisherman, woodwork enthusiast, woman of the year and clandestine lead of jazz ensemble the Duke Silver Trio, avoiding meetings and social interaction in general he is one of the best character's out there in sitcom land at the moment.
The above 'swansonism' is from an episode where amongst other things happening Ron has suffered a hernia but refuses to let on to his fellow workers - a sign of weakness no doubt included in some way on the Ron Swanson's Pyramid of Greatness
A few more 'swansonisms' for you below..........
Well hopefully this has acted as a spoonful of castor oil to help the flow of more frequent upcoming blogs, see you in a few months!
