Powaqqatsi – A Parastic Way of Life.

Posted on 30 March 2007 by

So, I watched Powaqqatsi last night. I’ve seen Koyaanisquatsi as well, but that was a while back. It’s incredible how rich a meaning you can get out of a simple (simple…maybe not) interplay of music and images. The returning motif … Continue reading →

Insomnia Bites

Posted on 29 March 2007 by

I’m having lots o’ trouble sleeping. Last night I managed to drift in and out whilst watching Edward Scissorhands, which inevitably just made me really fucking sad. I did get a few hours in the end…but I’ve woken up feeling … Continue reading →

Posted on 28 March 2007 by

So, I saw something on today’s hot posts on the front page, and hoped for it to be something it wasn’t. Then I thought that I haven’t written anything particularly political for a while (unless the Personal is political in … Continue reading →

The Storyteller…My first Drabble

Posted on 27 March 2007 by

So yes, I cut the story down to size. It does not have a name, only a epigraph. The epigraph is part of the story…or at least part of the hundred words. It appears I was right in my previous … Continue reading →

I have no voice and I must dream

Posted on 27 March 2007 by

Damn, damn and damn. I was all up for writing a story today…I started, and it’s just crud. I know where it needs to get to, but I just ended up writing loads of exposition without any actual interest. All … Continue reading →

New Ideas – When to begin?

Posted on 24 March 2007 by

So I’ve had an idea. Something that would make a nice little short story, or possibly even the basis of something grander. The idea isn’t what’s important here. What matters is the problem of when to start writing. You see….if … Continue reading →

Posted on 23 March 2007 by

So, I’ve been reading and thinking about one of my silly little pipe dreams this week. This is the one about Game design. I’ve always thought it would be incredible to be involved in the design of a game…simply because … Continue reading →

Photo Jenny and the Eye of the Beholder

Posted on 20 March 2007 by

Thoughts Encrusted

Posted on 19 March 2007 by

Well, it’s my eyes that feel encrusted to be honest. I clearly haven’t had enough sleep and it’s clearly to early. I’m not expecting to be witty and original any time soon. I’m in fact just trying to waste time … Continue reading →

Fingerprints – Distinctive Writing

Posted on 17 March 2007 by

So, Caveblogem has launched a word stats crusade recently. It’s proving interesting. What’s particularly got me thinking is the attempt to locate words unique to a specific blogger compared to others. Trying to get a kind of pattern of what … Continue reading →
