One Month Earlier: En Chan’s 25th Hour < Part 1 > 7:50 PM – En Chan Buys Meat Flowers are flowers and trees are trees, but this is pretty confusing. Are you a flower or a tree? En Chan was gazing intently through the glass window at the painting. Sunflowers were standing in two neat [...]

Young Believers by Duels lyrics

the young man stares at his shoes He’s in a state headache and heartache The thousand times he’s been too late Out in the lights We saw you wheeling around Whilst the city makes sounds Only for me … Continue reading →

Hollywood and a Bottle of Jack – Part 3(C)

I slowly walked up the stairs of slaughter hell, one small step at a time.  A tall, thick man dressed in a black suit stood to the side of the stairs waving a flashlight back and forth lighting up the grungy dark stairs. “Move it along people!” He’d yell as he waved the flashlight back [...]

Chinese Chicken-On-A-Stick, And Other Carry-Out Conundrums

You see, I have been trying to set aside time to write down my yet-to-be-written, famous magnum opus,  Brrrt, Chicken-On-A-Stick Slayer, but I simply haven’t carved the minutes out of my busy schedule. I mean – do you realize that after sleeping (or at least trying to sleep) 18 hours a day, and subtracting eating, [...]

AWOL

In case anyone was wondering, I am still alive. I’m sorry for my long absence. I was on leave in the last week of August, but I was buzzing about Getting Stuff Done. I’m back at work this week and it’s been so stressful that I haven’t felt like crafting or blogging when I get [...]

Chasers - James Phelan

I first heard about this book just the other day when I did my post on Get Reading 2010 and was looking through the guide of the 50 Books You Can’t Put Down. This one seemed interesting and when I saw it yesterday in Big W (a dept store like Walmart etc) for 10 bucks, [...]

Between two worlds

Why did I fucking come back here? Why did I run away again?

Chapter 3.5

Chapter 3.5 Just two weeks after their wedding, Rocio found out she was pregnant and already two and a half months gone.  By the start of the third month of her pregnancy Rocio’s bump was rather large, and scans soon revealed the couple were expecting twins!  Leon was so ecstatic that he spent every moment [...]

THE MERIDIAN CLUB - TURKS & CAICOS

Quirks, comforts and quietude in the place that time forgot By Gemma Handy AT DAYBREAK the only sound is the warble of tropical birds, the gentle chirrup of tree frogs and the roll of the waves in the distance. As the sun makes its graceful journey over that wonderful place where land meets sky causing [...]

Comment on The Daily Star toilets by pressaction

The Daily Star: Capable of blocking toilets By Angry Mob, 22 July 2010 A dose of Youtube can sometimes be just as nauseating as browsing the Daily Mail website; and in many ways it is actually worse because Youtube is the place where all the tabloid reading dullards pick up a video camera and film themselves regurgitating their confused interpretation of the world around them. They are the sort of people who buy the Daily Star because they think it is a newspaper. They probably believed that councils were building hole-in-the-ground toilets WITH THEIR MONEY just for EVIL MUSLIMS to use, even though as pointed out by Jamie over at exclarotive the entire story was a complete lie: firstly, it was a privately run shopping centre and nothing to do with the council and secondly the toilets were not just for Muslims. The trouble is with these stories is that although they are complete rubbish they have already been committed to paper and imprinted on the minds of the absolute simpletons who stare vacantly into a camera and claim that Britain is losing a war against immigrants imposing their culture and laws on us. The sad thing is almost their entire evidence base for these assertions is the absolute drivel printed by tabloid newspapers. People will now seriously believe that local councils are so scared of Muslims that they are using TAXPAYERS’ money to build them special toilets that only they are allowed to use. Naturally the council responded and pointed out that ‘the installation of a particular type of toilet at the Rochdale Exchange shopping centre has had nothing whatsoever to do with the council’. But of course this will not ever be reported in the Daily Star, so the original front page will still be true: Muslim-only public loos And the Daily Star can then follow it up with another lie that makes it seem as if the original story was genuine: Daily Star blocks Muslim-only loos! The amount of excrement printed by the Daily Star is enough to block any toilet, although in this case the ‘blockage’ is rather uncertain as Jamie points out: There never were going to be Muslim-only toilets, so they can’t be ‘blocked’. Even if you ignore the ‘Muslim-only’ bit, the article only says the toilets are being reconsidered – and that’s from an anonymous source who’s in neither the Manchester nor Rochdale local papers. All in all, another Daily Star front page that is a complete lie and the PCC have never so much as raised an eyebrow, let alone got the brush out and forced this vile shit firmly around the u-bend.

This Life

I. First Memories Rain is falling in my face. I’m held aloft, my tender cheek pressed against her shoulder. Even though I can hear two voices full of anger and rage surrounding me, I cannot fathom the depths of the emotion, its cause. I know only that a solitary refuge can be found in the [...]

Casually Watching Disturbing Things

Do you ever see something disturbing enough that you just kind of casually stare at it?  Just kind of keep turning your head to follow because your brain won’t process anything else because it can’t figure out what you just … Continue reading →

Existentialist in the zionist Jail !!

One day I was standing by the window gazing vacantly and smoking at the lunch break at work, when a colleague came and stood by me without me noticing her. I was looking out blankly and she was, probably, looking at my look, or the way I looked. Then out of sudden she asked me [...]

Chapter Seven

VII. THE UNVEILING OF THE STRANGER The stranger went into the little parlour of the Coach and Horses about half-past five in the morning, and there he remained until near midday, the blinds down, the door shut, and none, after Hall’s repulse, venturing near him. All that time he must have fasted. Thrice he rang [...]

My own window moon— full-faced and pale—staring vacantly inside

Tales from urban Bohemia: Liberec

My first impressions of the Czech Republic were typically banal.  Perceived by a mind running on four hours sleep and plagued by the residual fuzz induced by the four trains, three buses and a plane, the Czech Republic is kind … Continue reading →

Operation "Feed Miss Universe"

After watching the Miss Universe pageant last night, it would be easy to go off on an anti-beauty pageant feminist rant. But I’m not going to do that. Not entirely, anyway. When it comes to beauty pageants, I’m more of a Miss America person myself. At least those contestants need to display some sort of talent. [...]

"It's like we had to watch it to save others [from doing the same]"

Just before sticking the DVD into the player, a small logo on the bottom right hand corner of the box caught my eye: “Oh god, it’s Canadian.” I love my country. I truly do. But our movies often leave something to be desired. Bon Cop, Bad Cop was amazing. Trailer Park Boys was a good [...]

Comment on Placebo Buttons by Stephen

My favourite placebo button (mainly because it took me a while to catch on) is the 'open' button on the London Underground. Great seeing tourists frantically pushing it when it just sits there looking at them with complete apathy. Main downside is it takes me a while to adjust when catching proper trains and I have been known to stare vacantly at a door waiting for it to open whilst a keen door open button blinks away untouched.
