I had an anxiety dream last night about being late for work. Which is odd because I don't have a job. But in the dream I was working in a very smart office and I got there late and wearing tracksuit bottoms and a grubby tee-shirt, and everybody looked at me as if I were some kind of strange, anti-social weirdo. It's lucky I don't really work... [More...] |
| Out of all the cartoons I've come across, Carnage Nun Migumi is the best; the combination of insane violence and graphically detailed sex is a winning one. Of course there are other Japanese cartoons that follow a similar formula, but often they're rendered less interesting by attempts to include a plot. The writers of CNM understand that... [More...] |
| In this podcast, I talk about the first time I lost my virginity, which is something some people on YouTube wanted to hear about for some reason. [More...] |
| There was quite a lot about nepotism in the news recently - first in the proper news about British members of parliament giving jobs to their sons and wives, and then in internet news about a lad called Max getting a blog on the Guardian website, while his Dad is an occasional writer for the paper.

There's lots of stuff in the news these days about credit crunches and house prices and falling interest rates and the like. I can't claim to understand any of it, I'm not an economist. I don't even really understand the terminology. The interest rate, for instance, is possibly the most boring subject on earth, so why it's called the interest... [More...] |

I cut my toenails this morning. They were really long, it must be a while since I did it. I thought about letting them grow, and maybe taking a photo every day and turning it into a timelapse film. If I kept it up for a few years it might look quite impressive. But then I thought about the practicality, and worried that I might get a toenail... [More...] |

Someone pointed me to this link to a religious leaflet that they'd found. It's quite interesting. But I don't really understand something about the evangelist logic illustrated here. In their analogy, I'm a terrible felon standing in front of a judge; I'm guilty of murder and... [More...] |

This is my blog. It's like a diary, only it's public so that everybody in the world can read it if they want to.
People put different things in their blogs. My friend Grant has a blog and mostly he puts links to news stories about the ever-encroaching new world order and how we're being spied on. My ex-wife has a blog too, but she never puts... [More...] |
