a calzone you say

I’m beginning to think there are certain foods one should just not be allowed to eat in public.
Or rather, that I shouldn’t be allowed to eat in public because I either end up wearing my meal, or harming others.
Basically anything with filling. Oversized cheery tomatoes (nothing says thanks for sharing a meal like a tomato [...]

and i will learn by studying the lessons in my dreams

I will admit, I am not the biggest Weezer fan. I enjoy their music if I happens upon my path, but normally I wouldn’t go looking for it (although I did buy Pinkerton back in the day). However, what attracts me to their music is not necessarily their sound, but the hilarity I find in [...]

why steve jobs is on my shitlist

I made a bet when I was 18 that I would never watch the Star Wars films. The reasons for the bet are ridiculous, and in my defense it arose from me trying to watch them in the first place.
Over the years almost all my friends have told me I should watch the series not [...]

was it a car or a cat i saw?

Feeling a lot better today. Bruising is still very cumbersome to deal with but its better than stitches.
You know what word that is not used enough? Abscond.
I heart that word so. I’ve been mulling over my favourite words today (all-time favourite words still remain; paradox and palindrome), and then that got me thinking about my [...]

you just kind of wasted my precious time. but don’t think twice, it’s alright.

So the Guillemots concert…from what I remember it was quite impressive. For the amount of instruments this band uses I wasn’t sure if they would be able to pull off a live show. But they did, I’m looking forward to seeing them again at the Wireless Festival in July.
Thankfully, I made it most of the [...]

providing needles for your balloons

technology is such a double edge sword. in someways i wish i never entered into this realm in the first place. life was simpler when it was just the sound of keys hitting the paper on my grandfathers old typewriter, my thoughts drifting into cups of tea. earl grey with a slice of lemon.
dante was [...]

What is the object Ali is holding? And what do you think its made of?

we are just seconds in a day

Where do I start with this man’s discography? I only have a smattering, which is in need of broadening.

Been listening to a lot of Spiritualized this weekend. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed them. They have a certain power over me quite like The Flaming Lips. I couldn’t find a [...]

the space between spaces

I will admit, yesterday was quite a tumultuous day. A rollercoaster of emotions, but the finer points of my day included some very lovely messages, phone calls and shout outs that really made me smile. Other highlights:
A UPS post slip in my mailbox telling me I have a parcel waiting for me.
Cupcakes.
A pint of cider [...]
