Ellen has been having trouble sleeping of late, and so I popped into my local drug emporium (Morrisons) and picked up some Nytol. Ellen duly popped a few just before we watched Skins and made her way upstairs to sleep the sleep of the dead. Strangely, I then seemed to inherit her sleeplessness and found myself unable [...]
Ah the perils of modern life. Imagine you are a pop star so utterly damaged as to be unable to make your own decisions any further, and your money mad parents thrust you back into the limelight while you are clearly still struggling with serious mental problems. You stride around, that ever so vacant look [...]
I am very very bored at work, but this has left me in the profoundly rubbish situation of having nothing profound, or yet even mildly interesting to say, and yet I feel the best way to pass my time between now and half five is to blog. Bah. I very much doubt that I will [...]
I was in a bit of a quandary tonight as to what to write about, so three cheers for Google News, which pointed me in the direction of this link, about the story of the utterly terrible Christmas Grotto that fleeced several families out of money for what appears to have been the tourist equivalent [...]
As I mentioned yesterday, the wonderful Charlie Brooker has become rather omnipresent in my life at the moment.

“I have of late,—but wherefore I know not,—lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed, it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o’erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden [...]
Well, after about a week of setting up, tweaking, installing, uninstalling and threatening physical violence against a reasonably inanimate object, I have finally gotten my computer set up at Ellen’s. The only thing left to do now is to install Google Chrome, although I haven’t fully decided to do that yet. The main problem I [...]
I am going to re-post an article from Talking Points Memo as I think it just sums up the Republican’s sense of unjustified entitlement and lack of self-awareness. Finely Aged Whine 09.03.08 — 10:50AM By Josh Marshall There’s quite a tear-jerking piece in the Post by Howard Kurtz today about the McCain campaign’s wailing about [...]
