The Unbearable Darkness of Mountains – Uncivilisation 2011

Posted on 22 August 2011 by

National Poetry Day – For the Love of Prufrock

Posted on 7 October 2010 by

I’m not very good at this kind of thing, and it’s all a little shadowy, mumbled and lispy. But it remains my favourite poem. No matter how many times I read it, it still makes me want to declaim it … Continue reading →

Freizeit- The Kindness of Strangers

Posted on 5 June 2010 by

Recession, Digression, Pretension – Moping Dope on a Train

Posted on 29 December 2009 by

This is a rant from the train journey back to Brighton. I wouldn’t read it if I were you. It’s self indulgent, self obsessed post Christmas malaise. The feeling is lingering longer than it should. I’m hoping this is just … Continue reading →

Declaring Dependence

Posted on 12 November 2009 by

So, I’ve recently been feeling a little out of myself. Or rather, quite in myself, but unable to reach out of myself. Trouble communicating. Even though I’ve been writing a shed load for nano (still barely ahead of schedule, but … Continue reading →

Posted on 1 June 2009 by

Posted on 24 April 2009 by

The view from my head in my bed where I think Today’s post is gonna be weird. I couldn’t decide what I was going to write. Then I decided to continue a thought process that’s been being explored in an … Continue reading →

Our Dancing Skeletons

Gut Wrench

Posted on 7 May 2008 by

There is a hole in the pit of my gut. A huge writhing knot of dark matter twisting and turning and hurting. I actually couldn’t make it in to work today because of a full on stomach cramp. I’ve been … Continue reading →

Fear and Loathing on a Happy Monday

Posted on 24 March 2008 by

Stuck in work. This is the second to last shift at the internet place. The place is rammed, due to the Bank’s going on holiday. The only appreciable difference to me is more high pitched squealing all around, and a … Continue reading →

A Theoretical Upper Limit to the Density of Experience

Posted on 18 March 2008 by

I bear the emotional, physical and mental scars of a densely packed weekend. It feels like I squeezed the usual events of a month into about three-four days, to the point where I’m no longer sure how much time has … Continue reading →
