Alternatively Mainstream – Whatever you do don’t Smash the System
So what am I grumpy about today?
Well……Where to start?
We’ll ignore my immediate physical state, which is one of tiredness in the midst of a thirteen hour day of incredibly busy working. Well….we won’t ignore it, so much as briefly mention it in hopes of a sympathy vote.
Elsewhere in the Alabrain…
I work in the AV section [...]
Mild Performative – Acting Up
So, this whole booze free thing has made me think.
A couple of times this week I’ve been out at pubs drinking the old OJ, water and tea, whilst the people surrounding me get sloshed.
Now, in these situations I start to lose inhibitions and act slightly outrageously. It’s like a put on a mildly drunk persona. [...]
Creativity – Straight Edges and Dead Horses
So.
Ever since I was ill (I’m still getting tired easily and so taking it easy…but I’m definitely better now), I’ve been in a very creative mindset. Thoughts following in slightly more coherent chains than usual, and getting somewhere…and staying there so I have time to analyse.
These a fat and lugubrious times.
I don’t know what lugubrious [...]
Like a Dog – Turmoil
First up, name that closing line.
Secondly, sorry I’ve been incommunicado. I’ve been horrifically ill most of this week. Fevers, aches, pains, insomnia, sweat, hallucinations and a sore throat.
It’s not been pleasant. I haven’t actually been this ill since I was 11 and had to go to Christmas dinner with my extended family in a dressing [...]
Is Sex Sexuality? – My Gender Agenda – PoMoLoco
So, thinking it was going to be more queer theory than it actually was I’ve been reading a book about challenging conventional ideas of gender and sexuality called Pomosexuals. It’s interesting, but it’s not what I hoped for, though I remain happy with the Portmanteau made of ludicrous abbreviation….I love that shit.
Anyway, it’s worth noting [...]
Satisfying – Sex and the Pretty
Innacurate title really. I’m not feeling particularly pretty and I’m not getting any sex. Still…should ramp up the stats a little.
First though, an aside. I lvoe my blog surfer, occasionally I find someone on there who I can’t remember putting in there. Brightfeather is one of these, I can’t remember what made me add her [...]
Misogyny? Probably.
(Three posts in one day….I do spoil you people sometimes…not that anybody is reading them. What the hell.)
Sooo, I read this last week and agreed with it. Then I read this today and kind of agreed with that too.
I can’t really talk, about it as I haven’t seen the film, but I do think that [...]
Jun Key Me
So, it’s probably the longest period of time in…..I can’t remember how long, that I’ve not had any intoxicants in my system.
Right now, for over twenty four hours (actually, almost 36) I haven’t drunk any alkiehole, smoked any reefer (or even baccy) or even drunk any tea (or coffee).
I am disgusted with myself that I [...]
Out of my Skin – Gaming and Inclusion
Soo…
I’ve talked about Beyond Good and Evil Before. I’ve been playing it again this weekend. I swear…I will never grow tired of that game (interesting note, the opening sequence of the game can synch up absolutely perfectly with ‘In the Court of the Crimson King’ by King Crimson….spot on..including drum breaks as Uncle Pey’j jumps [...]
Palatable – Musical Explorations
This is me…there is no better glimpse of my soul than this.
So, I’m upbeat enough to talk about something that isn’t whinging.
Three Cheers and all that.
So, I find it strange that people don’t like music. And perhaps even stranger that people are so territorial and defensive about their musical tastes. I can’t really delve into [...]
