It's occurred to me that the reason we have holidays is not necessarily for the time away, but because we give ourselves something to look forward to. That's why the days that follow immediately afterwards bring along a phenomenon often referred to as "post-holiday blues". I don't think it's as simple as that though. Sure,... Continue Reading →

It's weeks like this that I realise my life could be so much worse; I could be the person in charge of Cadbury's Twitter profile, trying to placate the angry swarms of ignorant and self-entitled cock-wombles over their seasonal product. Of course, the big news story of the moment appears to be that, once again,... Continue Reading →

Nope. Nothin'. The words have dried up again. In all fairness, I have been putting this off this week by finding other things to do. I just spent about an hour and a half on the website of my local council trying to report a damaged (read "destroyed") street light right outside my house. It's... Continue Reading →

It was only after making the purchase, getting home and delving into the bag of brand new clothes I've needed for a while that I realised the jeans had stressed holes in the knees. Of course, this is totally intentional, the shop didn't erroneously sell me faulty leg-wear. I had actually erroneously picked up what... Continue Reading →

The problem with spam these days is that it's very easy to see through. I've mentioned before receiving junk comments in the back-end system of this very blog and, weirdly, the robots don't seem to be paying any attention to my acknowledgement of their poor tactics and my mockery of them. On the other hand,... Continue Reading →

"Uh oh. Are things getting busier?" Maybe. "Want to put this off for another week?" Well... er, no, not rea- "Are you sure? Are you sure you don't want a teensy little break again?" No, I'd like to do this. "Yeah, well, you'd also like to be rich, wouldn't you? You'd also like to get... Continue Reading →

Do you need a week off? Well, don't we all. We're only human after all. Sometimes we just need to kick back and relax; take a retreat from the everyday pressures and normality of a humdrum lifestyle that we become so used to. I don't have a week off. I'm still very much living my... Continue Reading →

Here's an admission: when I was little, I used to pick my nose and eat it. Now that you've had a chance to scream in disgust and vomit everywhere, I'd like to move on to the reason for such an admission: I firmly believe that I have a highly boosted immune system, meaning I tend...

Back in a time when memory space in technological devices was relatively small, video games were at a manageable enough size that they could seem long and challenging, but ultimately be reasonably sized and self-contained. As we grew up, the technology grew up too, only the growth of memory space was somewhat exponential compared to... Continue Reading →

Nothing to report really. Well, I probably have lots to report, but nothing that I can coherently string together and display here for another week. I don't know, maybe I'm just uninspired by everything. Or maybe I just need to clear out my wardrobe and get a bunch of new clothes to replace the ones... Continue Reading →
