Vive le Voyeur

Posted on 30 May 2007. Filed under: BB 8, BB Opening Night, Big Brother, Television |

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

Posted on 30 May 2007. Filed under: Andy Warhol, Animation, Music, The Sun, Theft, Things that make me Smile |

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

Posted on 26 May 2007. Filed under: Uncategorized |

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

Posted on 23 May 2007. Filed under: Apocalypse, Dreams, How to write, Idea, Ideas, Imagination, Jazz, Kiss, Louis Armstrong, Mild Mania, Script Frenzy, Seed, Thoughts, Writer's Block, Writing |

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 [...]

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

Posted on 21 May 2007. Filed under: Dan Deacon, Exciting, Fun, Mild Mania, Music, Surrealism |

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

Posted on 20 May 2007. Filed under: Comics, Feminism, Physics, Typography |

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.

Get the Most from Doseone

Posted on 18 May 2007. Filed under: Doseone, Hip Hop, Music, Poetry, Writing |

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 [...]

Buggered Sore like a Hobo’s Whore

Posted on 16 May 2007. Filed under: Buggery, Confusion, Elysium, Mild Mania, Mood swings, Moodiness, Music, Rollercoaster, Songs, Things that make me Smile |

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, [...]

Mind your Mind – Fragility, Screws and Monkeys

Posted on 15 May 2007. Filed under: BBC, Centre, Journalists, Madness, Meditation, Mind, Mind Control, Monkey Mind, Raincoaster, Scientology, Screwed up, T'ai Chi |

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

Posted on 12 May 2007. Filed under: Uncategorized |

“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 [...]

Uncanny Moments No 3,078,213 – Holy Crap I’m standing up? We’re ALL standing up

Posted on 11 May 2007. Filed under: Idiot, Standing, Uncanny, Walking, Weird |

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 [...]

    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.
