Last night I had patchy dreams, broken up by waking up a few times, including on one occasion because of one of the dreams. I’m not sure which dream unsettled me more – the work dream, or the apocalyptic dream. In theory a dream about a future overrun by humanity-hating AIs that can reanimate robots […]
… I’ll take a Corona… hold the virus. But in all seriousness, hands up if you truly believe this is a good thing. No takers? Not a single one? I can’t say I blame you. The decision to reopen pubs was always a bad idea at this stage. People + alcohol + pub = ignoring […]
The latest podcast is now live!
We’re watching Frozen 2, and as with the first film, it manages to tug at the heartstrings. People often underestimate kids movies, assuming them to be simple, devoid of depth, meaning and story. That simply isn’t true (certainly not of the best ones). A lot of kids films these days treat their audience with respect. […]
The other day I had a dream, ‘The Potter Rebellion‘. From that dream I span a podcast, talking about how the Potterverse would change if Harry decided ‘sod it, I don’t want to be a wizard’. From there, I stumbled upon an excellent post that spoke of whether we regret the path not taken. I […]
Their passion sated, Etruscilla lay her head down upon her husband’s chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat. He was quiet, almost unnaturally so, as they enjoyed each other’s arms. “You are troubled my love.” Nepos nodded. “I am. I am… glad to have seen sense, but worried, deeply worried, about what the future […]
Cloaked by his hood and dressed in clean, upstanding clothes, no one gave Nimr a second glance. He looked nothing like the brave and fierce warrior that duelled on the sands, and he blended in with ease. The market stalls, the busy streets, the horses with their carts and the shopkeepers with their wares- not […]
Last night I had a dream that I was back at school, specifically in the Sixth Form, and I felt like I’d bitten off way more than I could chew in terms of subjects to study. I felt under extreme pressure, and eventually, I snapped – only when I snapped, I then found myself existing […]
Yesterday I breached the 100,000 word count on my Warlord story. I hadn’t set out with any particular goal in mind when I started writing this, but it’s taken on a life of its own. I’m thinking about how to wrap it up, and putting into motion the final elements. It will be emotional to […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
You may be wondering where this post will go. Well, let’s place the scene in the restaurant above. What might I deem inappropriate behaviour in this setting? A restaurant has waiting staff, who (depending on the quality of the establishment) may or may not be paid a particularly decent wage, yet will work very hard. […]
