Fishwick Papers: The "Looping on Repeat" edition

Hey there Papieristas!I've had a lovely week, with some pleasant surprises thrown in (that I can't talk about yet, sorry), buying a nice new coat, and generally getting on with things. I've been working for a few weeks on an article about Vine (your friend and mine) that was published this week over on the ACMI website. I'm so proud of it, and I'd love for you to read it.By the way, can I tell you how nice it is to have a dedicated spot on a Friday to unwind and reflect on my week? It's really nice. I've left Facebook for a while, as I don't find it useful any more (or at least, the use is outweighed by the sensation of emotional corrosion), so this has become my big sharing place. So thank you. You're great.
