What’s the Difference Between ‘Loud’ and ‘Too Loud’?

May 22, 2012 by

I went to see Florence and the Machine in concert on Friday. I haven’t slept that much since then, so my memories are snapshot: Lying on the concrete floor of the Dome the bass vibrating through my rib cage. Standing shoulder to shoulder with a mass of people, Rick pressed against my back, feeling the […]

The Kraken Might Be Arriving Today*

May 21, 2012 by

I woke up with a headache this morning — which, let me tell you, is a terrible way to start your day — so I’m going to beat my head against the wall until it feels better. Or something. Don’t look at me like that. It should work. I mean, it’ll hurt less when I stop… I was going to […]

Biased Toward Bears

May 18, 2012 by

I read this book last Friday. It was very distressing. It’s called, We’re Going On A Bear Hunt (by Michael Rosen, illustrated by Helen Oxenbury). You know the song. Or maybe you don’t. This is an interpretation on the version you’re familiar with (if you’re familiar with it). But it’s still a pretty dopey song, […]

What We Do Every Night, Pinky…

May 17, 2012 by

I was reminded of this last night and it still makes me snicker. Possibly more so when I haven’t slept that much, but bah! I say to your eight o’ clock in the morning. You will have Orson Welles and you will have Pinky and the Brain and you will like it! The Orson Welles […]

Apple Nerds Rejoice for Waldo Has Been Found and the Deep Fried Mars Bar is No More

I spent yesterday flummoxing Apple geeks*. Which is a bit of fun. I recommend it if you’ve got an afternoon free and a way for taking your computers off the deep end. I told them what was going on and they were following along right up until I said, And then it said the hard […]

No One Expects the Spanish Inquisition. Or Satan.

My laptop just kernel panicked itself to death. Which is a really great way to start your day, let me tell you. This is a lesson to us all. Never become complacent. To reinforce this lesson for the rest of you I am going to leave this here:    

Don’t Do It. For the Love of God. Save Yourselves.*

So last week I asked a couple of people to read a third person version of the first chapter of Wizards, to see how they felt about it. And received from one the most conflicted response I’ve ever had, and from the other a voice of passionate loathing for the new version. Apparently the first […]

I Only Have THIS Much Attention to Offer You. Delight Me.

May 11, 2012 by

2

So there’s this thing I do when I watch TV where I find myself picking up my laptop, without even thinking about it, and doing research. It’s a habit I developed during my thesis, I think. I didn’t have time to do anything, so when I did take a break I’d find myself compulsively using […]

Wojtek the Soldier Bear

May 10, 2012 by

I am extremely sleep deprived, so today I’m just going to introduce you to Wojtek the Soldier Bear. I put this under one of my favourite headings: Bears Are Cool. If I had a bear of my own I would… probably still desperately need a nap. But I think the bear would understand.
