What do you get if you cross Canal Street with Hobbiton? Green Street - the funniest gritty drama I’ve ever seen. It’s 110 minutes of implausibly predictable calamity in which Elijah Wood gets out all three of his facial expressions (happy… but a bit worried, worried… and a bit worried, and mean… but a bit [...]
Impromptu night of drinking at Guildhall School of Music and Drama, of all places. On a school night. Stupidly cheap beer. Felt slightly old. Danced to silly tunes. Not enough sleep. Big headache. Solution?
1 x PJ Strawberry & banana smoothie
1 x Bacon and egg roll (Support your local canteen!)
2 x cup of builder’s tea.
Feeling MUCH [...]
Anyone else slightly suspicious that the timing of the iPod Nano(rexic) is just a little bit too coincidental? Something tells me that Steve Jobs had a bit of an iLife crisis when he realised that handing the iPhone concept to the ugly people at Motorola was a bad call. I mean, Rokr? Even the name [...]
Don’t you love it when you come up with a random puzzle which can be solved in mere seconds with the help of google? Today’s question:
Why do people wave lighters at concerts?
“The use of candles, then lighters, at concerts reportedly began with folk singer Melanie, who played at Woodstock in 1969 and was inspired to [...]
Because I have lots of ideas in my head and no time to get them out in a coherent and unlaughable form, here’s some easy content which has been foisted upon me. Here are the 6 songs which are shaking me to my core at the moment (because 5 wasn’t enough):

Must cut down on the alcohol…
… is one of the many attractions on offer at Fruitstock today, so I’m going to go and spend some time in the sunshine with good music (and wine). Woo!
This year I’ve been watching Big Brother much more than usual - it seems that Channel 4 have finally cracked the nut of how to keep it explosively interesting by turning the housemates against each other, rather than against BB. That, and the fact they managed to choose the most psychometrically polarised people in the [...]
Mice have invaded every portion of my waking life (though thankfully not quite as boldly as that incident in Amsterdam a few years ago when one decided to get into bed with me). We have them in our flat and now at work too. We’re not a violent household, so we have planted several (so [...]
Despite being new to the city, I can’t help but feel that London is a bit different to normal at the moment; all at once defiant but also mistrustful. It seems to me that terrorist attacks heighten unity amongst us city dwellers, and they also deepen divisions and make us twitchy and irrational.
Since July [...]
