I found out how television can really open your eyes towards things. I'm a huge fan of gossip girl and I constantly find myself influenced by a lot of things from that show, (in a positive way). I even heard two of my favourite songs for the first time on it.
My most recent source of inspiration came from the title of the latest episode which as some of you might now is, "The Unblairable lightness of being". Gossip girl episodes are always named after really popular things with just slight modifications to make them refer to the show. One of the many examples are "Inglourious Bassterds" and "The Empire strikes Jack".
The name of the latest episode was taken from an old book titled "The Unbearable lightness of being" by Milan Kundera. Its a tale set in the Czechoslovak Communist period of 1968. It explores the artistic and intellectual life of Czech society from the Prague Spring to the Soviet Union’s 1968 invasion. I've already ordered the book online and can't wait to read it, not only because of where I heard about it from, but also because I realised how little I know about that time. I hope some of you out there might try looking it up to.
