Troublesome.
That’s what it is.
Troublesome.
I’ve hit the climax see. Well. Not the climax, but the crux. This is pretty much the emotional core of the novel, which, if I need to remind you, came to me whilst masturbating and hallucinating at the same time.
Fever’s do weird things, as does not sleeping. Put the two together and [...]

It is hard to reward myself when I can’t turn to my usual staples of booze and other types of booze.
See, I hit 20k. Which means I managed 2.5k today. This is good wording, but now I’ve made that milestone, and I’m finding it hard to punctuate my day in such a way as to [...]

So,
This is brief, but it’s something I want to get out. Basically, I’ve been pushing myself to extremes recently, partly to deal with some family shit that I’ve been treating as an excuse to hedonise my head into the sand.
My brother’s being made redundant, my parents are having difficulty selling up to retire and my [...]

So, I don’t usually plug stuff, obviously. But apparently gametap are offering Psychonauts for free to people who come under it’s license. That means anyone in North America can get one of the greatest and most imaginative games of all time for free, until the end of the year.
Now, I actually think a lot of [...]

Trawling the xkcd archives is an inspirational way to waste time when you should be doing a million other things.
Made me think. Which I shouldn’t be doing right now. I should be writing, having a bath or going to see Sahil. I will do all of these things, but first this.
That first panel is just [...]

So.
The world appears to have it in for me today. I’m finding it hard to write, yet a thousand interesting things are being thrust in my direction.
You see, even my metaphors are sexing it up. That may be part of my novel mindset, which is currently still slightly sex obsessed, but for a reason. Basically, [...]

Only, you see, I am lazy
And I don’t give a damn about fame or money.
I am like a child who cannot bring himself to smile.
What do the people want? Money and things.
And yet I find I have nothing, and I don’t care.
I am as unambitious as any fool.
And the people, the people are so busy!
But [...]

Fun day yesterday, party, excitement, banter, skirts, wrestling, pomegranete fights, slightly uncomfortable people not sure how to deal with a guy in a skirt. Party slowly getting much better than expected.
Problematics though. No writing. Bad, should’ve written something. Tension/Arguments. People in slightly narky moods. Friends in states. Not all pleasant.
And then I get a call [...]

So.
Writing’s funny.
I’m currently finding my post modernist perspective to be dangerous. Once you disentangle from simple ideology everything you write is not yours, and fraught with danger.
Sure it may be playful, but it’s getting dark. And I’m not quite allowed to escape into gnomes, dragons and snow leopards like everyone else is.
I’m occupying a skull. [...]

So, thanks to someone else keeping note of their random surfing, and ending up at my place. I’m reminded of a ‘classic’ article from the archives.
Anyway, I reread my thoughts, and it was weird to tour my head again. I very rarely go back and read stuff on my blog, and I think I should. [...]

Yesterday was a bit manic, involving lots of typing, some laundry, something resembling a date (that managed to be probably the most successful/unsuccessful date I’ve ever been on…for weird complicated reasons that I can’t go into…lots of fun is the key), a large Sunday roast, lots of beer, intense conversation, and….a plot. Not only that, [...]

My hangover is trying to kill me, the nano meet last night was a mess but a kind of success, but I may have been too drunk. I then went elsewhere and got more too drunk. Had my first ‘old fashioned’ though, which was a very very tasty thing to do to bourbon.Luxuriant.
Payday, as usual [...]
