Hi all. Been a while (had to get my username e-mailed to me; I'd totally forgotten it ( Read more... )

People need to watch The Wire.

For my money, it's the finest piece of drama I've ever seen; television, cinema, literature, whatever. Nothing paints a better picture of institutional dysfunction, the ruthlessness of capitalism, the slow death of the working class, the increasing corruption of ( Read more... )

I had a dream last night wherein I was dancing in a nightclub, and ran into some guy who used to go to my high school. Bit of a dick, really; never got on well. Only, in the dream, in the nightclub, we were kissing very passionately, and he took my penis out and gave it a good tug. Bouncers came over and, very politely, told us to get out ( Read more... )

Weird how relieved I feel whenever I get out of a relationship.

I ought to vent here more. The reason I don't is the lack of people. I'm a sucker for an audience. Otherwise, what's the point?

Who wants to read the short story I just handed in for a creative writing unit? It's less than 1,500 words. It shows the direction my writing has gone of late; jerky rhythms, internal rhymes, casual delving into difficult ( Read more... )

I did my food shopping today too, but online. Lazy bastard. The way I am situated on campus, I have no idea how it's going to get here, but we'll deal with that when the time comes ( Read more... )

I've just done my laundry at the campus laundrette. It takes about an hour, including drying it too. People come and go, and I happen to be absorbed in a good book, so I buried my head in it and passed the time effectively. But inbetween pages or chapters, I allowed my mind to wander as I always seem to do in such public situations. Man, the ( Read more... )

An extraordinary succession of events have contradicted one another today, and they have all combined in throwing me from one side to the next of the emotional spectrum. On the one hand, I am very frustrated, on the other hand, no doubt relieved ( Read more... )
