Sensual Tensual Menstrual

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

The Perverse Imp of the Uncanny

Anyway, I was reminded of the Imp of the Perverse, both the concept and the Poe story, by my recent excursion to London. Basically, whenever I’m on a tube platform, I get really nervous, because I can always see myself … Continue reading

Making the world a weirder place

Trawling the xkcd archives is an inspirational way to waste time when you should be doing a million other things. Made me think. Which I shouldn’t be doing right now. I should be writing, having a bath or going to … 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

So yeah. For a little background, there’s some reading I did at Uni called the ‘Uncanniness of the Everyday’ (Stanley Cavell maybe? NOt great referencing here…I’m using a memory from a time I was probably smoking quite a lot of … Continue reading

I Blame You Not – Mara Carlyle

So, I’ve not posted a video before, but I could think of no better way of making you look at this. It’s amazing. I love her voice so much. Look for Baby Bloodheart also. Then buy her album ‘The Lovely’ … Continue reading

Radio Free Ambibath

I’ve just had a rather strange and awakening experience. I’m currently reading The Divine Invasion, more of my ongoing obsession with Dick you see. Anyway, I’m astonished by how much of a rollercoaster ride it’s been already. Normally when I … Continue reading

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 … 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

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 … Continue reading

Big Blue Troll gone missing.

So. I’m at work, and I wasn’t planning on blogging today. I was hoping to write a couple of thousand words on the old novel. That’s right…I’ve finally had the burst of ideas I’ve been waiting for and I’m ready … Continue reading

Intellectual Detachment – Emotions (are) for Idiots

So, in my previous article on The Squid and the Whale, I commented on the fact that intellectualising stuff can make emotional experiences more troublesome, stressful, painful and more difficult to react to. I think I actually succeeded in entirely … Continue reading

Odd Porn Spam – Too Much Information
