Things to Do to Prepare for a House Guest

September 26, 2011 by

Buy Cherries. Remember they’re coming.* Manipulate them into a situation where they are obliged to let you take funny pictures of them. More cherries (the glacé ones not the real ones). Alcohol. Me: Wuffie liked my idea. Paul S: What was your idea? Me: Jared wants us to watch Ponies. I think the rest of […]

Dreaming the Melodrama of the Teen Experience

September 23, 2011 by

I am trashed out of my skull. No, not with the alcohol. I am not drunk. Why do people keep asking me that? I am just… not on speaking terms with the sandman right now. I tried staying in bed thinking, Sleep now. Sleep is good. Sleep is my friend. We should all be friends […]

Draconian Vendettas and Cake

September 22, 2011 by

Me: My brain hates me today. It is a block of wood on top of my neck mocking me about my inability to form sentences. Wuffie: *head pets*. That’s no good on the block headiness! Or should that be headedness? Me: I don’t even know anymore. On the up side, if you don’t sleep at […]

Do Not Anthropomorphise the Books

Paul S: …and he really liked it. Me: Well, yeah, they’re like hilarious crack cocaine. So you told him you were a dealer, right? That maybe you could work something out? Paul S: I’ve got a couple in my bag. Me: Just to get him started. Paul S: Exactly. I have a problem with books. […]

Exploding Dog

September 20, 2011 by

There is an online comic called Exploding Dog. It’s pretty cool. In some ways it’s more a series of connected pieces of art than a true comic. Also, you should maybe know that while there is a dog in it from time to time I’ve never seen it explode. And it’s certainly not about the […]

Life Advice for the Unwary

September 19, 2011 by

I spent the weekend not working. I know, we’re all shocked. But it meant I got to spend some time reading. (Yes, that’s what I do when I’m not working. Okay, I also take naps. And there may have been a thing with a bonfire and my ears freezing. But that’s not the point.) Since […]

Night of the Living Footnotes? When Footnotes Attack? Footnotes in Space?

September 14, 2011 by

Sometimes my footnotes get out of hand. Therefore, two things related to what I said yesterday: Firstly, a movie that I love for no sensible reason at all. I currently have this kind of bizarre affection for X-Men: First Class. When I first saw it, I enjoyed it. Then I noticed all the things that […]

God Among Men, or the Village Idiot?

September 13, 2011 by

Do you ever do that thing where five seconds after you’ve seen something or read something you love it to bits, and then your brain wakes up and tells you all the things that were wrong with it?* I do it all the time. I mean I do have some standards, even in that moment […]

When You’re Offline Nobody Can Hear You Scream

September 7, 2011 by

Yesterday I spent the day screaming incoherently at my computer. And saying: FOR SERIOUS? repeatedly. Basically, Pan and I had something of a disagreement. (Pan is my laptop, that I love to death and spend eighteen hours a day, or more, with. Those who tell you I sit around cuddling him when not actually using […]

Listen to the Voices

Me: Don’t listen to the voices. You know how that turns out. Arkem: Cake and parties? Me: No. That’s where blood in backstories comes from. Arkem: Oh. This is good advice. I give excellent advice. Like, Don’t and Panic. In the correct circumstances you should totally follow those. Same with the thing about the voices. […]
