Wordsy Downs
Has been a day full of thoughts.
Not enough sleep and plenty of morning.
Sunshine in the cold and wet floors beneath.
Incoherency and too much Tea.
Boring games and inspiring words.
Lost me a bit.
But what does that mean?
It means I’m feeling pretentious and self absorbed again.
Let’s start again with something closer to prose.
I don’t have much to say, [...]
Beyond the Sea
Just posting a little bit I wrote for some character speculation. We’ve got a future Taoist deciding to leave life in a underdeveloped country to seek the Bright Lights of the Genetically engineered world of tomorrow.
It’s mostly thoughts I had while watching the Ocean. I regret to say that unlike the narrator, I failed to [...]
Open your Eyes
Got to head to work, but felt like typing. Don’t have much to say, though I’m currently enthralled by the name of a song. It’s by Mūm (is that the write accent?), and it’s called ‘Don’t be afraid, You have just got your eyes closed’. I’m listening to it now, and it’s lovely, but it’s [...]

Music has been treating me grand recently.
After a less than satisfying set on Saturday (not enough people there that early, and only about fifteen to twenty minutes of the set really worked….the ending was rushed, I thought it was getting better but I tried to squeeze too many songs into the end of my set…they [...]
Bald head in the Morning -Not worth the trouble of an argument
So, once again, a shaven area of Britney Spears’ body has grasped the attention of the blogging sphere (or whatever the cool kids are calling it these days). I can’t remember where I first saw this, so I’m satisfying Raincoaster’s lust for power by linking to her report here.
Anyway, so Rain does point out a [...]
Perchance to Wake? – The Science of Sleep
So, indeed, I did watch the Science of Sleep the night before last. I enjoyed it massively, in fact it was an incredibly personally affective film for me. A little nerve-wracking almost, for all the naive silliness that goes on. I’ll explain in a moment.
First off let me mention that the french title is shown [...]
Oh My Funk
Reminder for the locals.
Gig tonight. I’ve practiced a bit now and I’m fairly confident (and touching wood) that tonight’s set won’t be awful. If there’s a problem it’ll be that I don’t have enough tunes to fill the time or have to many and have to cut stuff that I want to play out of [...]
I am from
So, this has been doing the rounds. Archie said he wanted to see what other men would do with it. I’m not necessarily typical but I kinda want to oblige.
Update: Justin did one. I like it. Different, more in the present maybe. I like it.
Here goes:
I am from a large town that claims to be [...]
Too Much Too Fast – Somebody Engage my Brain
I feel unable to really communicate accurately how I’m feeling right now.
It’s not that it’s terrible, it’s just that everything is going a bit to fast for my self to catch up with.
Don’t worry, nothing terrible is going on…it’s just that either my life is speeding up or my brain is slowing down.
The swing is [...]
Real Gig this time – Suggestion Box
So I’m playing the Volks this Saturday. Main room this time as well. This is terrifying. I need to practice…but I also need some ideas. I’m gonna try and play around all day tomorrow (once I finish work) and see if I can come up with anything fun. I’ve got to be slightly more stable [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Slow Painful Progress – Moods and Trolls
So, I am still maintaining some kind of forward motion on the nano. I finally got the ball rolling again.
Only problem is it’s going incredibly slowly.
I kinda took the weekend off and spent most of it absolutely bladdered…or at best hungover. This was good in a way, but in fact I think I would’ve preferred [...]
Conflusion
So, it’s miles off from the full moon and everything’s gone a little weird.
I think I’m having fun. In principle at least.
I keep on not thinking about what I’m saying and just splurging random sentences based on things I can see or smell or am remembering. Poor Mr Subliminal had to put up with me [...]
Big Blue Troll gone missing.
So. I’m at work, and I wasn’t planning on blogging today. I was hoping to write a couple of thousand words on the old novel. That’s right…I’ve finally had the burst of ideas I’ve been waiting for and I’m ready to carry on and make my way towards the ending that I’ve been wanting to [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 3 so far )Intellectual Detachment – Emotions (are) for Idiots
So, in my previous article on The Squid and the Whale, I commented on the fact that intellectualising stuff can make emotional experiences more troublesome, stressful, painful and more difficult to react to.
I think I actually succeeded in entirely detaching myself from the fact that it’s been a problem I’ve had for ages. It [...]
Odd Porn Spam – Too Much Information
hair everywhere said 10 minutes ago:I haven’t been up to much these days. Such is life. I’ve just been letting everything happen without me these days, but I don’t care.
That was it. It cropped up in my ‘My comments’ page. It was underneath a conversation I’d had ages ago about gerrymandering, and proportional [...]
