Dis Clam ‘ere
Alabaster Crippens doesn't entirely believe in objective truth, therefore he can neither confirm or deny the accuracy of any statement, image or impression caused by, or displayed on, these pages of the so called 'internet'. He does however not want to get sued, even if the lawyers, legal system, and the concept of jurisprudence doesn't exist. Therefore if you believe the nonsense posted on here you do so entirely at your own risk. In other words: Don't sue me 'cause I might not mean it. Basically, anything you hear from anyone is unreliable, so if you want the 'truth' you need the perspectives of as many people as you can get..ideally people who are trustworthy and close to the particular 'truth' you wish to inspect. If you start trusting idiots with silly (and obviously made up) names then you're developing some kind of problem. Check your sources, examine their own politcal (or other) motivation, remember that anything people say is opinion unless you are certain that they speak the 'truth'. Even your own eyes can lie. Trust me on that one. Or don't..it doesn't bother me. Finally, everything written here is, to the best of my knowledge written by me and I reserve my right to be recognised as the author of these works. Any input from other sources should be clearly shown, if you note a mistake or anything..tell me..I'll try and sort out the problem. Please ask me if you want to use anything for commercial reasons...I probably won't mind but I need to know I'm not supporting anything I don't want to support. This is an attempt at a legal notice written without legal knowledge. Just follow the principles, I think most of you get what I mean, even if it won't stand up in a court of law. Just be polite you know...like in the good ole days.

Nowt so Queer as Folk
Lots going on. Sorry I haven’t posted forever. The big news, the scary news? You want it? Don’t misinterpret me though, I insist. Essentially, the other night I broke up with someone because they weren’t comfortable with my gender identity. … Continue reading
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

Uncanny Moments No 3,078,213 – Holy Crap I’m standing up? We’re ALL standing up
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

The Seriousness of the Everyday – Squids and Whales and Books
