Dumbfuck

365,Demon Pigeon,General,Writing 4 March 2011 | 2 Comments

What has actually been a pretty bloody good day has actually turned rapidly into a pissy and irritable mood this evening, through nobody’s fault in particular but my own. Incremental bits of annoyance have built up and left me feeling, well, pissy. I was going to spend the evening writing stuff for Demon Pigeon, because [...]

Climbed up real high now fall down real far

Music,Writing 2 March 2011 | 0 Comments

Well that went well, don’t you think? Rather an odd week of blog posts, but I managed to put up my two first ever bits of fiction and wasn’t laughed at openly, so to all of you who kept your laughter to yourselves, thank you very kindly. To everyone who said kind things, they were [...]

7 Days,Writing 1 March 2011 | 2 Comments

7 days is a project where I have to write a week’s worth of blog posts based on one word topic suggestions suggested by the good people on Twitter. This is day seven, and the suggestion comes from @staytiny. So here we are at the end of my little experiment, and I have to say [...]

7 days is a project where I have to write a week’s worth of blog posts based on one word topic suggestions suggested by the good people on Twitter. This is day two, and the suggestion comes from @gregeden. So, Cheesecake eh? That’s some delicious dairy based desert goodness right there. This is the point [...]

The general report of a creaking man

365,Blood on the Motorway,Diet,Exercise,General,TV,Writing 17 February 2011 | 0 Comments

Try as I might I cannot find anything to wax lyrical about, so how about a report card? A general state of the union you might say, except not for any particular union, just me, your humble blogger. Having a day of general achiness and creakiness today, although I am not sure how much of [...]

Being productive.

General,Ubuntu,Writing 12 February 2011 | 0 Comments

Today has been one of those rare days where I actually get to block out a significant period of time to do some writing. Ellen and Rosie have gone out for the afternoon and will not be back before dinnertime, which means that I have a six hour block of time, although I do have [...]

I made this cake and Worf jerked off in the flour.

General,Net joy,TV,Writing 27 January 2011 | 0 Comments

Ellen has gone and abandoned me for the night to go and see Black Swan, so I’m on my own tonight with the only plan being to try and write as much as I can before she gets back, and liaising with Jonic about the site design and all that sort of goodness. What I [...]

Father

365,General,Writing 26 January 2011 | 0 Comments

Today my daughter started to refer to me exclusively as Father, which is incredibly antiquated and rather odd, but also hugely endearing from a three and a half year old. Very cool. But then she is. I was up ridiculously early for a trip to Halifax with work today, six of us in a people [...]

Weekend

365,Writing 16 January 2011 | 0 Comments

Today has been a much nicer day than yesterday, despite the fact that it summed up to nothing more than walking round a miserable and wet York City centre window shopping for things that we can’t afford to buy and eating a packed lunch in the Library. Which sounds pretty terrible, but was actually pretty [...]

When I first created this blog it was long before most people I knew were online, let alone on the likes of Facebook, Twitter et al. These were the days of Livejournal and MSN and forums and little else, and most people were not yet interested in the net. I first set it up at [...]
