A Peal Four Scents

The bells, the bells. Anyway. Basically, I (being the subversive I am) use Pandora despite not being entirely based in America (I do however have the ability to find out zip codes), and so I’ve been informed of some apparently … Continue reading

The Terrification of Expectation

I’ve just read the most flattering review of this blog I’ve ever had. I’m pretty much speechless to be honest. I don’t think I deserve the praise, especially from someone who seems to be capable of praising me in a … Continue reading

Mything the Point – Through the Eyes of a Child

Curtis has a great article over here. I’ve already posted an essay I did on Myth and History, although it doesn’t make much sense and will probably ruin a great book for you if you read it. Still…I linked it … Continue reading

Command and Conquer – Blah blah blah

So, I’m going to play the new C’n’C game because we’ve got it at work. I wasn’t impressed with Tiberian Sun, but I enjoyed RA2. Having said that…RA2 had the dubious pleasure of managing to offend me at the very … Continue reading

Communication has been a struggle all day

And not just because I’m tired. I found out from Whabbit’s post…couldn’t sleep much thinking about it. Woke up this morning and did some reading. It was when I saw a note telling the families of students where to go … Continue reading

Forever the End of the World

Just a little musical note. You read certain things in music reviews and you just take them for granted. Then occasionally you realise that they are spot on. I always read about the Super Furry Animals having Beach boys style … Continue reading

Crushed beneath the Think Tanks

Phantomias has decided to goad me. I’ve already turned my nose up at this, and now he decides to nominate me. He’s asking for trouble…and I’m slightly intoxicated when I shouldn’t be. Trouble is a foot. Well….my feet are trouble … Continue reading
