S’late

It is.
Shouldn’t be writing but the urge is grabbing me. I think I’m just trying to put off making the bed. It’s a task I hate, despite the rewards. Clean sheets, cosy wrap, and that neatness of building a nest and fitting into it right. Made for you (Beach Boys).
Still enjoying the new Why? (Alopecia) [...]

Gut Wrench

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 feeling emotions much more physically lately, which has been great when I’ve been happy and bouncy and [...]

Gimme Some Sass - Gender Funk

So, be warned, this may not be my most forward thinking post, but I’ve been thinking about the contradictions inherent in myself recently, and thought writing about them, whilst posting some relevant videos might be something I could do on a Sunday. Apologies if I offend.
Anyway, here’s my confession. I absolutely adore sassy, sexually [...]

I’ve Got an Idea - A Kiss to Build a Dream On

I think I might finally have a clue what I’m going to do with my Script Frenzy. An idea I like that I think would be best dealt with in visual form.
I’m not going to go into great deal here, but I am going to share the seed with you.
Anyway, it’s this song, that I [...]

Of Ghosts and Cats and Pigs and Bats

Seriously…go stream this song now.
And make sure you sing along. Just do it. Don’t pretend you can’t work out how it goes…the lyrics are on a piece of paper.
The go out and buy some Dan Deacon. The man represents everything that is great about the world. Possibly.
I can’t explain the joy that listening to this [...]

Depressing Results from Online Quiz - Just What I Needed

Picked this up from HPS…what’s my ‘dating persona’?
Oh joy I’m:
The Manchild
Random Brutal Love Dreamer (RBLD)
    Hopeful. Awkward. Soft-headed. [...]

Buggered Sore like a Hobo’s Whore

So, yesterday I was slightly rollercoaster.  Upset, downset, left, right, unset. I cheered up in the evening but only by the time that I was supposed to be sleeping. This means I’ve shot myself in the foot as far as today is concerned. Today I’m working for about ten hours of the day, until ten, [...]

My Appearance could eat your Constitution for Breakfast - Some thoughts on Gaming and Gender

I’ve been reading a lot this evening.  A lot of stuff about pop culture, gaming and stereotyping, little bits on political correctness and all that jazz.
It’s been interesting. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to work out what I wanted to talk about. I’ve got a lot of ideas at the moment, but I [...]

The Right Responsibilities - Open your Mind and Change the World

So,
People have been talking a lot about freedom of speech and rights and hate and all this stuff.
It gets me thinking.
You see, there’s always been that old thing about rights and responsibilities. You only get one if you obey the others. It’s the basis of the prison system (for example). If you transgress laws then [...]

Crushed beneath the Think Tanks

Phantomias has decided to goad me.
I’ve already turned my nose up at this, and now he decides to nominate me.
He’s asking for trouble…and I’m slightly intoxicated when I shouldn’t be.
Trouble is a foot.
Well….my feet are trouble anyway…malodorous whiffy beacons of sandalled flesh.
What is it with feet? They are one of the more intricate parts of [...]

Thoughts Encrusted

Well, it’s my eyes that feel encrusted to be honest. I clearly haven’t had enough sleep and it’s clearly to early.
I’m not expecting to be witty and original any time soon. I’m in fact just trying to waste time while the water heats up so I can wash the metaphorical mud off my tired tired [...]

Things Falling Together - Creativity as Reverse Entropy

So, this is pretty much a part two of yesterday’s post. So you might want to read that first if you haven’t already.  Today is going to be mostly inspired by Dying Inside by Robert Silverberg The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon, Whitishrabbit’s comments yesterday. Also loads of Modernism/Post-Modernism lectures at Uni. And [...]

What the Folk are you on about? - Putting Musical Pigeons in their holes

Music has been treating me grand recently.
After a less than satisfying set on Saturday (not enough people there that early, and only about fifteen to twenty minutes of the set really worked….the ending was rushed, I thought it was getting better but I tried to squeeze too many songs into the end of my set…they [...]

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. I’ll explain in a moment.
First off let me mention that the french title is shown [...]

I am from

So, this has been doing the rounds. Archie said he wanted to see what other men would do with it. I’m not necessarily typical but I kinda want to oblige.
Update: Justin did one. I like it. Different, more in the present maybe. I like it.
Here goes:
I am from a large town that claims to be [...]
