Big Up Yo’Self

Posted on 25 July 2007. Filed under: Big Head, Business, Self, Self Esteem, Self Improvement, Thoughts, Work |

So I’m applying for a new post at my Lie Berry work. Three months of better pay and more hours. It’ll mean I’ll probably end up leaving the internet cafe, at least for that period, and then when the three months is up either coming back (if there’s hours available) or finding new work. It [...]

Getting to Know Who

Posted on 23 July 2007. Filed under: Dating, Love, Mind, People, Personal, Reflection, Relationships, Romance, T'ai Chi, Thoughts, life |

So, let’s say I like a girl.
What do I do?
I have trouble with this stage of things. I’m damn good at chatting, ‘flirting’ and generally socialising, but I find it hard to show that I am genuinely interested, or know what to do. I have this problem with the actual..you know…dating part.
All the Yank RomComs [...]

Memetic Noodle – Think of it as a substitute for Actual Thought

Posted on 21 July 2007. Filed under: Uncategorized |

So I’ve been tagged for a coupla things, and I’m feeling lazy, so I guess the mess is to continue.
First up was Slurpy Valerie, or whatever, with an 8 truths type thang, you can check out the rules at his place, because I don’t want them cluttering up my yard.
So eight true things about me, [...]

Slowing Down

Posted on 16 July 2007. Filed under: Down, Flight, Perspective, Problems, Slow, Solutions, Thoughts, Tribulations, Troubles, Uncategorized |

What does one do when the time starts to drag?
Let me explain.
I am very tired. I have been for a while, and I haven’t really been throwing myself into anything I’ve been doing. We’re in a lull. A rut if you will.
But not the good kind. (Apologies for that one, I couldn’t resist).
It’s the move [...]

My Secret Love

Posted on 16 July 2007. Filed under: Uncategorized |

So, this is really going downhill, yesterday I got so few hits, that it turns out that almost 10 percent of the visitors were looking for ‘Vaginal Squeaking’.
I wish I had a story to go with that, but alas.
Anyway, I’m going to make a confession.
I have a secret addiction to that most heinous of cinematic [...]

The Times of Rupert Continue – Marnie’s Stern

Posted on 14 July 2007. Filed under: Gigs, Indie, Music, Pretentious, Rupert, Twats |

As my blog stats slowly wither and die I remain busy in the real world, stuck far away from the mystical internets.
And I’m hungover and everything.
Anyway, went to see Marnie Stern last night. That chick rocks it hard. I am not quite sure if I can adequately explain what it sounded like without using the [...]

Doth the Cloth Maketh the Moth (Man)

Posted on 11 July 2007. Filed under: Abstract, Body, Clothes, Fashion, Genders, Girders, Me, Pit of Eternal Stench, Self Image, Strange, Stream, Thoughts, gender, life |

Ooooh, so we’re talking about clothes and gender again. How unexpected and out on a limb for you my dear Alabaster.
Fuck you. I want to talk about it. (And I’m being a little abstract…and you can put that in your pipe for all I care.)
Anyway, an article I don’t want to link to because of [...]

Movements

Posted on 5 July 2007. Filed under: Uncategorized |

We’re moving house.
That’s real life house, not a new web address or anything. Currently my entire life is stuffed into bags and boxes. Well, apart from bed, electronics (I need music and internets until the bitter end) and some clothes.
I haven’t slept properly for ages because I’m still working most of the time. Even with [...]

Happy Independence You Colonial Types

Posted on 4 July 2007. Filed under: Uncategorized |

Indeed, raise the Star Spangled Banner and remember the day you freed yourselves from the shackles of British oppression and started making your own mythology of freedom and used it to oppress those you wanted to oppress.
Lets face it. You wrote a pretty damn good declaration. There’s a lot of good shit in there.
You’ve just [...]

Thought Crimes

Posted on 2 July 2007. Filed under: Award, Blogging, Culture, Exposure, Meme, Mind, People, Thinking, Thought, Understanding, Writing |

It’s happened again.
I’ve been accused of thinking. Again.
The first time this happened, I got pissed off. Second time, I tried to teach you a lesson.
Anyway, I haven’t decided what to do this time. But I would like to note something about those that have chosen me.
They are all better, particularly in terms of thoughtfulness, than [...]

Songs with Words…and Pictures

Posted on 2 July 2007. Filed under: Cornelius, Film, Gig, Interpretation, Lyrics, Matmos, Meaning, Music, Narrative, Performance, Video, Words |

So last night was in London to see Matmos and Cornelius. Absolutely awesome performance, though due to poor planning I missed half of Matmos, which cuts deep to my soul because I was so excited by them. What I saw was amazing. They really work to get a rich tapestry of sound going in front [...]

    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.
