Sekks and Muzak

Posted on 27 November 2008. Filed under: Music, Ramble, Sex, Thoughts |

So, I’m supposed to be hammering away at my Nanovel right now, and I just can’t get myself into the swing of it. I’m not happy with anything in it and I’m not engaged with the characters or plot at all. I have excuses, as we know, but they’re unneccesary. I think I may have [...]

Okay, so.
Seriously, if you want to be a writer, or even if you want to want to be a writer, you need to make sure you’ve read the Princess Bride. I’m a big William Goldman fan ever since a good friend lent me the book ‘Which Lie did I tell?’ about his adventures as a [...]

(Statement of conflicts of interest: I know Rob Lee, he’s lovely, he is also Wax Stag).
So, first off, a caveat (there may be more later), The first time I heard that Rob was playing (about a year and a half ago) my tiny friend Fat Mark (not her real name) told me it took about [...]

Passing

Posted on 2 November 2008. Filed under: Uncategorized |

Not much to say about this right now, but a friend died in her sleep last night. I don’t know the details, but somehow it felt rude not telling you. I’m working out how best to support her family, and be there for people who need it. I kinda hate the selfishness of being miserable [...]

    What's that I hear?

  • When the little blue bird…

    • Thom Yorke's sarcastic Beatles impression in the middle of Skip Divided is absolutely brilliant. Fact. 7 hours ago
    • Uh oh. Writing possibly hampered by the Beach boys coming on. I love this album, and refuse to stop, but I can't write while I'm singing. 13 hours ago
    • Pictures for sad children. The funny side of depression (nb, it's still quite sad quite often) http://bit.ly/1o4U3V 1 day ago
    • @AnnaM46 Thank you dear. Ate some food and got some words out, and had a stonking great plot breakthrough, so I'm back in the game. 1 day ago
    • Pizza in oven, and my plot has come leaps and bounds in the last half hour. No words, but I think I'm starting to get the pieces into place. 1 day ago

    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.
