This is a bit poop. Its one of my days off (I actually get quite a few each weak, my income is low because I’m only a part timer), and I wake up feeling like crap. I’ve got a nasty cough that’s stayed with me since my last cold (about a week and a half [...]
Dirty Snakes and Multiple Facets
Just a quickie again. Basically, an old magazine me and some friends used to write at our university has gone online. Some good stuff here, a lot of fun articles and a difficult to navigate yet well designed site. Anyway, some of my stuff is on there, plus some excellent stuff from the kind of [...]
Sweet, Sweet Ale
So, basically, the off license (booze merchant for those not ‘in the know’ so to speak) round the corner has started stocking the 2006 vintage of what I consider to be one of the finest ales known to humanity: Dark Star Imperial Stout. This sweet nectar is produced by Dark Star, a local small scale [...]
Everything Changes but You
Erm, Just changed the Theme to the new one..I think its a bit easier on the eye. Tell me if you think its Evil or anything.
Back Soon..just got to nip to the shops
Punk -What does it mean?
So, just a quickie, (a more detailed post on a more interesting/controversial topic later today or tomorrow), but on my way to work I saw a couple of young ladies walking down the road with very dramatic ‘punk’ haircuts and outfits discussing haircare. From what I could gather from my eaves droppings Punk 1 was [...]
Who’s House? - Well, Mine apparently
So, a bit busy today, and I have to work a silly shift from ten pm (in about half an hour) until four in the morning. I’ll be on the internet and spending sometime playing games but if anyone can come up with some incredible form of entertainment to occupy my time, please make your [...]
Nanowrimo - Join the Club, Write a Crap Novel (or if you’re Lucky a Good One)
So, I’m guessing that most of you will have heard of this already. But for those who haven’t, I think I’m going to try and force myself back in to writing by doing the ridiculous and attempting the not quite impossible. That’s right, I’m going to go from zero output to writing a whole (short) [...]
Look who linked Me
So, just a quickie. I just got a new referrer, from a clearly bot made page…I kind of hate to link to this, so I won’t. I think there’s a link on one of my old blog entries (the one on inequality and censorship and the right wing) but basically just look at the list [...]
Ethics - Mine, Not Yours
So this is gonna be a biggy, and I need to make a few disclaimer points before I start, that are actually part of the general message I’m trying to convey, but if I don’t say them then…well, actually I’ll start, hopefully you’ll get the point. As always I encourage debate..but please don’t attack me [...]
Why I (don’t) Write - Is not writing always writer’s block or is it sometimes just not being a writer
So, here goes. The big confession that just about everyone makes.
I want to be a writer.
Whilst growing up i always told people that I wanted to be a writer, and I love writing, and all that kind of stuff. So how come I’ve barely written anything in my life. About eight ‘failed novels’ (most barely [...]
Pain, Gender, and Transformation in Comics
Just a quick link to a fantastic article elsewhere on the interweb about public and private pain in relation to gender and identity, particularly using comics as the focus. Really incredible article, Well written and waking me up to a few things I wasn’t aware of and hadn’t considered. It led on to a [...]
Stiff Upper Lip Part 2 - This time there’s Boobies
So, the title pretty much sums it up. Last night, was walking to the cashpoint about half eleven, heading towards the hip hop night where we were heading toward (Edan and fellow heads from Lewis Recordings flown over from America..awesome night, but I digress). Anyway, I notice a naked woman, point her out to a [...]
The Right Wing doesn’t support Freedom of Speech - Oh Wait a Second, We Knew That
So, I discovered this last night and got so pissed off that I thought I’d better wait until the morning to discuss this. Basically, in a previous post I commented on two posts, one excellent and one godawful. Anyway, The latter of these can be found here. Anyway, I checked on the article last night [...]
The Benefit of a Stiff Upper Lip
So perhap’s a slightly more traditional entry this time, a simple, brief story from my day, and what I learned from it.
Finished work (quite late mind, past the polite hours), fancied a drink, called a few people, none were willing to sup with me, so I proceeded to walk to the alehouse nearest my abode. [...]
Variety is Everything
So, just checked out the ‘top ten posts’ thing on my control panel or something (sorry that so far all of this blog has been about blogging and not anything else, this isn’t my intention..i’m jsut trying to get myself going) and found two incredibly differing articles that, at least from my perspective, are about [...]
