| 31 Dec 11 | We're doing it wrong (1) | (31 Dec 11, 3:07 PM by littlenic) |
| There's something terribly amiss. How come I don't feel like a world-class loser? [more...] | ||

| I hate having my photo taken. Cameras don't steal my soul, but they definitely steal whatever fragile self-sense of cool I get away with when I've forgotten how I look. Plus, I always pull *that* face, y'know? Where you try to be wacky, but just end up looking weird in the most boring manner imaginable, because your brain's gotten a bit confused about this brand new emotion (LOOK COOL SOMEHOW) you've just demanded of it. Asymmetrical smile. Showboat the double-chin. Deflate biceps. Set eyebrows to 'constipated'. And so on. Just remember to forget that other people never see you the same way you [more...] | ||

| No, not the film where Sasha Grey does a disconcertingly fabulous turn as a hooker completely bored with life. Nor do I mean renting someone for the chat, the dinner and the boning. [more...] | ||

| 7 Dec 11 | I quite like Christmas (7) | (7 Dec 11, 9:53 PM by Jacques_Pierre) |
| I quite like Christmas. See the appeal of such a ritual, especially as we sink into the trough-like composure of winter, and draw ourselves in, neat and small and warm and tight, in preparation for the prickly growth of spring. That makes perfect sense. Essential, even. [more...] | ||
| 5 Dec 11 | I quite like being sad (5) | (6 Dec 11, 10:55 AM by UncleTalon) |
| It just happens, y'know? Seems fair. Day into night into day, and all that. S'not very easy to share, though. [more...] | ||
| 30 Nov 11 | Jim's DVD | (30 Nov 11, 7:27 PM by PearlBlueSoul) |
| So, I bought a DVD. An actual DVD! From a shop! For money, and everything! So queer going kosher. But, hey, not sure my sister would feel very much loved if I gave her series 1 of Modern Family on a selection of DVD-Rs dropped into a novelty jiffy bag. [more...] | ||

| You know when you cross the road, right? And you weren't looking properly, and you come close to getting run over, have to dash to the pavement on the opposite side, passing car goes BEEP BEEP at your hazardous oversight? [more...] | ||

| 27 Nov 11 | "I'm a bit lost" | (27 Nov 11, 1:03 PM by PearlBlueSoul) |
| She says, looking all forlorn, sat across from me in the pub. I laugh! This is why I don't have many friends, but the ones I do have understand why a spluttering laugh can be a viable response to, like, a million different things. [more...] | ||
| 9 Nov 11 | Hey, women! (5) | (9 Nov 11, 9:24 PM by twilightsilence) |
| What's with the buying musical instruments that you intend to learn to play, but never do? I mean, was there like an episode of Sex And The City where they form a sexy band, in between having sex and talking about sex, in order to sing songs about sex? That telly program is always making women want to do things! e.g. go to parties, touch laptops, eat shoes, sleep next to buckets of cake etc. [more...] | ||

| 23 Oct 11 | Accentuate the negative (8) | (23 Oct 11, 10:39 PM by misunderstoodslave) |

| 17 Oct 11 | Drunk and on drugs happy funtime hour (5) | (18 Oct 11, 1:28 AM by HarmCandy) |
| Fuck the economy. It embodies numerous principles that describe the way that people work, because it's a thing that's made by people. But, thanks to its myriad complexities and consequences, it doesn't half muddle things when you're trying to talk/think about those principles. So, free from any kerfuffle about co-responsibility, high-frequency trading and insidious abbreviations, here are two things of which I'm constantly reminded whenever I think about the state of the world, without bogging things too much with the actual state of the world. Two things that need to be addressed, whether it's [more...] | ||

| 4 Oct 11 | House of Leaves (3) | (8 Oct 11, 8:02 PM by dusted) |
| House of Leaves. Started reading it back in April 2008. Then my life changed quite drastically (for the better!). And I stopped reading it. Every time I thought about going back, had a weird little flicker of dumb superstition that my awesome new-life gravy-train would come to an end if I finished reading it. But, when you're laid out all super-ill like, as I have been the past few days, anything totemic can suddenly go fuck itself. [more...] | ||
