Dis Clam ‘ere
Alabaster Crippens doesn't entirely believe in objective truth, therefore he can neither confirm or deny the accuracy of any statement, image or impression caused by, or displayed on, these pages of the so called 'internet'. He does however not want to get sued, even if the lawyers, legal system, and the concept of jurisprudence doesn't exist. Therefore if you believe the nonsense posted on here you do so entirely at your own risk. In other words: Don't sue me 'cause I might not mean it. Basically, anything you hear from anyone is unreliable, so if you want the 'truth' you need the perspectives of as many people as you can get..ideally people who are trustworthy and close to the particular 'truth' you wish to inspect. If you start trusting idiots with silly (and obviously made up) names then you're developing some kind of problem. Check your sources, examine their own politcal (or other) motivation, remember that anything people say is opinion unless you are certain that they speak the 'truth'. Even your own eyes can lie. Trust me on that one. Or don't..it doesn't bother me. Finally, everything written here is, to the best of my knowledge written by me and I reserve my right to be recognised as the author of these works. Any input from other sources should be clearly shown, if you note a mistake or anything..tell me..I'll try and sort out the problem. Please ask me if you want to use anything for commercial reasons...I probably won't mind but I need to know I'm not supporting anything I don't want to support. This is an attempt at a legal notice written without legal knowledge. Just follow the principles, I think most of you get what I mean, even if it won't stand up in a court of law. Just be polite you know...like in the good ole days.

Powaqqatsi – A Parastic Way of Life.
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
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

Das Booty Politick
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

Knew what I Know
I watched Rushmore while falling asleep last night (or not..in fact I was totally brutalised by insomnia all night and I’m not looking forward to being at work for ten and a half hours, especially not on a beautiful sunny … Continue reading
The Storyteller…My first Drabble
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
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
Kipple
Yes, I’m drinking Gin and Lemonade…it’s only one in the afternoon and I’m on my own. It’s my day off. And I’m still here. This is going to be a lot of bits and pieces you see…hence the title….but not … Continue reading

New Ideas – When to begin?
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

The Games We Play – I Want to Build ‘em
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

Five Questions
We’re back in the meme business temporarily. I found this one the Bit’s blog and was intrigued. The particularly fun one about this is that its different questions. It depends upon what someone else wans to know about you. Feel … Continue reading
Photo Jenny and the Eye of the Beholder
So, among other things I’ve been reading a bit more news than usual. Particularly the Guardian because it’s what I read generally, if only because I’d happily pay the cover price for getting to read whose Birthday it is (and … Continue reading

Thoughts Encrusted
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
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

Things Falling Together – Creativity as Reverse Entropy
So, this is pretty much a part two of yesterday’s post. So you might want to read that first if you haven’t already. Today is going to be mostly inspired by Dying Inside by Robert Silverberg The Crying of Lot … Continue reading
