More Birthday
So, I’ve got a bit more time now to expand on my party last night… So many people were there which made me feel so good. As I am pretty much stuck in my house most every night of the month, it’s quite a big deal for me to go out. Sad, but I’d imagine [...]
Birthday
Last night was my birthday party at the Cafe Cairo! Had a great time and was hardly pissed at all- a conscious decision, didn’t want it to end like last year’s party where I had had about 5 double vodka Red Bulls and went almost literally insane. People had been buying me birthday drinks and [...]
Corey Feldman Font
I spent the weekend decorating my house. Whoo-hoo! I am an animal. This is so excellent… Now, you know how you’ve always wanted a Corey Feldman Font? I know, I know, I too have been waiting for this day to come… well, click the pic and you shall be transported. Still, not half as good [...]
Baby Bird
As I was sitting at my computer answering an email, one of the now-quite-big baby birds from the nest in my garden flew in through the open garden doors. I noticed the babies have been jumping out onto branches, practicing their flying, but this little guy decided to take it a bit further. Of course, [...]
Charlie Brooker
I’ve decided that I wanted to write stuff about people in my life who are very important to me… but maybe they don’t even know they are important to me. The first person I want to write about is Charlie Brooker. I first met Charlie on the top floor of BBC Broadcasting House. We had [...]
She’s A Flight Risk Update
NOTE: MOST OF THE LINKS IN THE POST NO LONGER WORK. A Flight Risk *might* be getting interesting again (go to the last few comments)… Unless someone is just trying to get in on the act… What do you think? I am damn excited about Wing’s Music… and I’m not talking Paul McCartney. Go on. [...]
Shot By Shot Raiders
OK, so apparently in 1982 these 12 years old kids decided they were going to film a shot-by-shot remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark. They finished it in 1988. Now… it’s in the world. Read more here and check out the trailer here. I’d love to see it! I wish my video player worked [...]
Sputnick
To Brian on the phone just now: ‘I’m not autistic, I’m eating crackers.’ I think that’s up there with this sentence I uttered, in all sincerety, when I was 19 or so : ‘I’ve never read the Bible, but I’ve seen the movie.’ The wonders of the Internet #1004 You can buy Sputnick on eBay. [...]
Interesting
How’s this for an interesting couple of days… John H.* Richardson got in touch with me about… something… not dwarves though! I probably shouldn’t say what it’s about, but you’ve read a bit about it in my blog recently… He’s doing an article for Esquire. I have read that book and loved it! Have a [...]
Hoax
I came up to Manchester today until Sunday. :) I was just reading some Fundamentalist Christian Armegeddon Muslim Israel Revelations Bush Syria website (I’m not even going to give you a link cos I don’t want to be an accessory)… Some people are totally whacked. The thing is their arguments can *seem* rational, only when [...]
I Love The Internet
I love the Internet. First thing this morning I was greeted by the postman with my Amazon delivery. I ordered Flatland for £1.25 and Flatterland for £6-something (recommended by my friend Julian). Lovely…. I’ve only ever read Flatland online. I started reading it to Mo this evening as his newest bedtime story. We’re 3 pages [...]
Reality TV
Brian stopped by for a night… which was nice! He had been to Athens for a conference. Don’t ever let an academic fool you into thinking these conferences are terribly boring. They’re held at interesting places that you’d be happy to holiday at and leave time for plenty of sightseeing. I’d be surprised if there [...]
Stomp
I took Mo to see ‘Stomp’ this afternooon. It was a total spur of the moment thing. We had a great time. I can’t wait until the day when someone once again decides that I may actually benefit from being paid (decently) for the work I do so I can do things like that more [...]
She’s A Flight Risk
Still chasing Isa. Sean-Paul and Jay from the Agonist say they are just ‘helping’ Isa. Hmmmm… Fishy.
She’s A Flight Risk
YES!!!! Holly from Collective Detective and I cracked “She’s a Flight Risk”. Read it here. *EDIT* August 2008: the link to Collective Detective no longer works. Here is what I wrote up about this: http://www.aflightrisk.blogspot.com She’s called Isabella V, except she’s not, and she’s an International Fugitive. ‘So, what do you think? Is Isabella real [...]
She’s A Flight Risk
So Isabella V *is* a bit of a tech whizz (we’ll at least she’s using a proxy server). She emailed me to say she *isn’t* where I thought she was and that she’d take a virtual tour around the globe visiting my pix page on Apollo’s Children every step along the way. I looked at [...]
