Posted on 22 August 2011 by

Last night, as the sun set, I wandered into the woods. Dosed up with Valerian and on barely any sleep (third hangover of the year, too soon after the second) I was already hazy, and I became totally and utterly … Continue reading →

Freizeit- The Kindness of Strangers

Posted on 5 June 2010 by

It’s a little weird. Hard to get used to how far you can get on the kindness of strangers, with only the tiniest bit of language ability. It’s also terrifying. I have been weirdly isolated at times, but it’s pretty … Continue reading →

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 →

That’ll Learn ‘em

Posted on 14 April 2009 by

I’m tired. So there’ll be a lack of coherency, but that’s fine, I don’t think anybody has any expectations round here. It’s not often that I have thoughts at nine in the morning. Let alone coherent ones that stay in … Continue reading →

Posted on 30 January 2009 by

Okay, lots of things to try and agglomerate, and my heads a bit brokes by all this, so there may be confustion. Also, can I briefly recommend Twitter, and particularly me on Twitter. I’m starting to get into this, and … Continue reading →

Posted on 7 January 2009 by

Okay, so first, a little thing I wrote in my notepad a month or so ago whilst drunk on a train down to Torquay. Just needed to do something creative, and thought I’d ponder some of my more pathetic/romantic sensibilities. … Continue reading →

Towards Definitive Emancipation

Posted on 23 December 2008 by

So, it turns out the pope is a massive cunt. Who knew? I’m particularly impressed with the way he managed to phrase his statements so that he’s not just anti-homosexuality, but anti-any stepping out or transgression or even playfulness with … Continue reading →

Posted on 27 November 2008 by

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 … Continue reading →
