Declare Independence – Linguobatics

Posted on 3 April 2008 by

One way you can tell a subject is particularly contentious is if you see me taking two sides of the argument on two separate occasions. Especially if I’m the one starting the argument each time and I’m the most vociferous … Continue reading →

Ceci n’est pas un moi – Representaion and Identity

Posted on 8 February 2008 by

So, I’ve been reading Scott McCloud’s ludicrously excellent Understanding Comics. If you have any interest in creating any kind of artwork, or anything creative at all(surely that’s just creating anything), then you should read this book, possibly twice. After only … Continue reading →

CreativiDream – A little bit of madness every night

Posted on 3 February 2008 by

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 →

Fey Lure and the Top of the Hill

Posted on 1 February 2008 by

Did the faerie folk lead me to the crest of a mountain? Alas no, just more sound play. I tried to write the project that’s been composting  since the year began, and I heard about this. It didn’t work, and … Continue reading →

Sleazed to Meat you

Posted on 25 January 2008 by

Disgusting people in this world. Still feel smypathy for them, it’s hard not to. People end up having grown up with a warped and stunted view of socialisation. I’m not sure how it happens (though I have my suspicions) but … Continue reading →

Inn Communication – B r e a k d o w n

Posted on 23 January 2008 by

Nonsense. Tricky post see. I’m having trouble communicating today. It’s very upsetting for me. I keep on typing things wrong, like words entirely wrong. Totally unrelated to original word. I don’t like not being able to get my thoughts out … Continue reading →

Sensual Tensual Menstrual

Posted on 12 January 2008 by

Huh – what? Well. Yesterday, I woke up, naked as usual. And I listened to In Rainbows, whilst lying in bed. The whole morning (when I was supposed to be being productive) was devoted to ‘pleasures of the flesh’. Not … Continue reading →

Dancing with the Sea and the Starlings

Posted on 11 January 2008 by

I feel alive today, like, really alive. It was a long day at work, but in the middle of it I had to go to the other side of town (Hove, actually) for a brief training course. The fire safety … Continue reading →

Comm You Knitty and May King Adiff Rents

Posted on 28 December 2007 by

So, talk of Quilts the other day. Additional to yesterday’s Nick Drake fuelled downbeat thoughtfulness. Anyway, the theme, maybe, is people. Groups, support and how we deal with things. After I whinged yesterday, I watched the documentary about Drake, including … Continue reading →

Melancholy Mood – Don’t read sad things when you’re sad (or do)

Posted on 27 December 2007 by

So, the festive break back in St Albans was pretty wonderful all round (though I got too drunk on Christmas Eve, and made a dick out of myself, that only partly ruins the feeling because I can’t remember it so … Continue reading →

I want Chocolate

Posted on 22 November 2007 by

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 … Continue reading →

‘The’ Problem

Posted on 8 November 2007 by

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. … Continue reading →

The Greatest Gift that I Possess?

Posted on 29 October 2007 by

 In a brief (possibly that’s it actually, we’ll see how things go) break from my recollections of the weekend, I’m going to do something a bit different. That is, listen to something somebody else said. The always inspirational Brightfeather is … Continue reading →

Are you Alive?

Posted on 15 October 2007 by

So, this is all inspired by the new Battlestar Galactica, of which I have just finished the first season of…no spoilers please, I’ll try and do the same. Anyway, that question…’Are you alive?’ has such significance in and out of … Continue reading →
