Vive le Voyeur
Oh yes, Big Brother is back.
I love this bullshit you know. Absolutely love it. A fine mix of voyeurism, psychology, cruelty, people watching, sadism and pure bloody minded stupidity.
Some kind of microcosm of society.
Maybe.
Or just food fun.
I’m watching the opening night. This is normally boring, but I’m going to make it less so (for me) [...]
Who Loves the Sun? – I did, long before anyone else. Maybe
So, I’ve been reacquainted with the ability of the mind to lie.
I was sitting around, minding my business. When out of an orange coloured sky (okay, it was a tv tuned to a ‘chill’ radio station) I heard a cover of the popular song ‘Who loves the sun?’. It was all sun drenched acoustic guitars [...]
Low
Great Album, Crap way to feel.
That is all.
***
Update:
Literally two minutes after I posted that a customer (who I chat to occasionally) gave me a bar of nougat spontaneously. I’m not sure why. I had to fight incredibly hard not to cry in the middle of the gaming cafe. The tiniest random act of kindness can [...]
In the Bleak Mid- oh….wait a minute
Bloody hangovers. That’s all I want to say.
I’m currently drinking much less overall, but having nights on the piss to celebrate things.
Last night was like a bag of broken biscuits, tasty and messy and you end up eating too much because the bag was massive.
Or something.
Good fun you see, but is it worth feeling like [...]
I’ve Got an Idea – A Kiss to Build a Dream On
I think I might finally have a clue what I’m going to do with my Script Frenzy. An idea I like that I think would be best dealt with in visual form.
I’m not going to go into great deal here, but I am going to share the seed with you.
Anyway, it’s this song, that I [...]
Ugly Little Goat Monster, Why you looking at me like that?
Sooo.
I’ve been planning a post about beauty for a while. Lots of different aspects of it. But then I started feeling Ugly. Real Ugly. I was lying in bed last night, very tired, just trying to experience my body from the inside (not like that). Feeling and sensing the limits of my body. Where my [...]
Of Ghosts and Cats and Pigs and Bats
Seriously…go stream this song now.
And make sure you sing along. Just do it. Don’t pretend you can’t work out how it goes…the lyrics are on a piece of paper.
The go out and buy some Dan Deacon. The man represents everything that is great about the world. Possibly.
I can’t explain the joy that listening to this [...]
Typographical Gags and the Patriarchy
Ok, so I’m not going to comment on this…but it’s damn fun. Diesel sweeties a while back. It really is jokes about typography and the restriction of women’s ability to express themselves freely.
Here
Also misinterpretation of physics: Here.
Anyway, another lazy post. Apple Logies to all.
Depressing Results from Online Quiz – Just What I Needed
Picked this up from HPS…what’s my ‘dating persona’?
Oh joy I’m:
The Manchild
Random Brutal Love Dreamer (RBLD)
Hopeful. Awkward. Soft-headed. [...]
Get the Most from Doseone
Seriously, on a word per minute basis there can only one. Check him out over here. There’s a free download of a very very good track there. And then jump on the radio link to hear some similar people. Probably a lot from the Anticon kiddies. You may have to register for that shit, but [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Buggered Sore like a Hobo’s Whore
So, yesterday I was slightly rollercoaster. Upset, downset, left, right, unset. I cheered up in the evening but only by the time that I was supposed to be sleeping. This means I’ve shot myself in the foot as far as today is concerned. Today I’m working for about ten hours of the day, until ten, [...]

So the infamous Raincoaster draws my attention to ranting journalists from the blessed beeb.
Now, I think it’s easy to see that there’s some serious head fucking going on there. That Scientology guy makes ridiculous reactions to every action. If a journalist (normally pictures of calm and objectivity…theoretically) starts shouting at you like that, then I’d [...]
Idea Compost – The Androgyne Spirituality of the Berdache
Edit: Just did some further reading and the preferred term for Berdache is Two Spirit (Berdache is etymologically Spanish in origin and has negative connotations…however, I don’t want to say ‘Spirituality of the Two Spirit’ as it’s repetitive. More information here.)
So, just read an amazing post by V. There are some aspects of feminism a [...]
When to Get On with It – Involvement and Living
“Perhaps I’m old and tired,” he continued, “but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied. Look at me: I design coastlines. I got an award [...]

So yeah. For a little background, there’s some reading I did at Uni called the ‘Uncanniness of the Everyday’ (Stanley Cavell maybe? NOt great referencing here…I’m using a memory from a time I was probably smoking quite a lot of weed whilst attempting to grasp complex theories of existence….oh to be at Uni again…although to [...]
