Dis Clam ‘ere
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.

CreativiDream – A little bit of madness every night
So, this isn’t going to make much sense, but it was wonderful. Essentially, I’ve just woken up from a particularly intense barrage of dreams, but I’ve got to go somewhere pretty soon (Tai Chi practice marathon) so can’t go too … Continue reading
Back after these brief messages
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 … Continue reading

Buy Real Estate in Imaginary Places
So, Busdriver’s been inspiring me, but more below than above. I just thought you might want to know why I called the post that. Also, would anyone who wants to help my creative composting pass comments on yesterday’s post, as … Continue reading

Bit of a Mess – More Creative Compost
More filler (though actually, last post ended up sparking some awesome conversations, and all the content is only going to bring up my stats, even if it is just more people looking for nudity and weird sex). I’ve had a … Continue reading

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 … Continue reading

Hopes and Schemes – The Promise of Fiction
So, I have this problem. I love reading, I really love reading. I’ve got huge stacks of books left to read and I’ve read huge stacks of book. The one problem is that bigger than either of these stack, is … Continue reading

Beyond the Sea
Just posting a little bit I wrote for some character speculation. We’ve got a future Taoist deciding to leave life in a underdeveloped country to seek the Bright Lights of the Genetically engineered world of tomorrow. It’s mostly thoughts I … Continue reading

Perchance to Wake? – The Science of Sleep
So, indeed, I did watch the Science of Sleep the night before last. I enjoyed it massively, in fact it was an incredibly personally affective film for me. A little nerve-wracking almost, for all the naive silliness that goes on. … Continue reading

Slow Painful Progress – Moods and Trolls

Conflusion
So, it’s miles off from the full moon and everything’s gone a little weird. I think I’m having fun. In principle at least. I keep on not thinking about what I’m saying and just splurging random sentences based on things … Continue reading

A Quantum Awakening – Scroedinger’s Vikings
Random research sometimes yields better results than anything specific. Following a link on an article about the iPhone (current wordpress number one) led me to Schroedinger’s cat, which I’ve known about for years. Anyway, I looked at the related links … Continue reading
Yield To Total Elation
Indeed I will, I shall and I have been for the last hour. The track (YTTE by Matmos) is only 9 minutes and seven seconds long. It is rare that I repeat a track this many times. But it’s just … Continue reading

Day…Today…Indeed
I had a day today. Not quite finished it yet, but I thought I’d jot some thoughts down as I’ve been quiet for a coupla days. I got practically no sleep, with what I did get performed entirely in stops … Continue reading

It’s all in your head – Ways of Listening
So, this is about a lot of discussions I have with people. It’s about music, but it’s not going to be just like my random reviews of music. I want to look in a bit more depth at why I … Continue reading
