If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell? Where do I begin?! If I could only pick one, I’d steer towards sci-fi stuff, but if I could, I’d sell items from across my interests. It might make for a strange menagerie, but I’d be completely at home surrounded by all […]
Lately, Tik Tok has been offering me food-related videos. Some of these are stir-fries, some revolve around steak, and still others involve deep-frying various foodstuffs. I won’t lie, some of these creations look absolutely beautiful to me. Layer after layer of cheese and ham, stacked high, then sandwiched in bread, and then deep-fried, produces a […]
When I think of the above image, I am drawn to a post made a few weeks ago, by my friend Bruce Gerencser. Bruce would be the first to tell you that he is in constant, chronic pain. He also understands his own body, and his own needs, having managed his conditions for many years. […]
Do I get to pick the universe? Can I choose multiple universes? Well, whether I can or can’t, I’m going to do anyway. Doctor Who Aside from the strong possibility of dying at the hands of any one of a variety of monsters, I don’t think my life would be substantially different. Star Wars There’s […]
For the second day running, you can thank William, of the Warthog Report, for a prompt! This time the question is ‘favourite time travel story’, but what – or when (heh) – is the answer? It is tempting to reach for the low-hanging fruit of Doctor Who. Time travel is a defining element of the […]
This is question posed by William, of the Warthog Report (yes, this meerkat found himself a warthog acquaintance, a Pumba to my Timon, or a William to my Ben, if preferred). William has inspired two consecutive prompts, this being the first: What are some rereleases and remakes of works you like that deeply bother you? […]
On the 28th of August, 1963 (60 years ago today), civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr gave what would become one of the world’s most famous speeches, and did so on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C, before a crowd of some 250,000 people, as well as on camera. Mr King […]
So… this is sort of meta? WordPress has a daily prompt feature, and sometimes I’ve used it, though a lot of the prompts I use are inspired by suggestions/web-browsing. I’m rather glad to have largely avoided the WordPress Prompt, because I’ve noticed a lot of repetition of late. In particular, there’s the ‘list’. ‘List 30 […]
The humble toilet. A familiar sight across many households, and something we are all quite familiar with (I certainly should be, considering I sell the things!). We all know what goes on when we use a toilet, and whilst we don’t openly discuss the, ah, unpleasantries, they are a fact of life, natural bodily functions, […]
As I write this, the England Women’s national team is engaged in a penalty shootout with Nigeria, in the Round of 16 at the Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. They would go on to win the shootout 4-2, and book their place in the quarter-finals. An England team winning a penalty shootout […]
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...
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I know of a fun way to burn off calories, but I’ll not be sharing the details here! I don’t know if I could call any of the standard means of seeking fitness ‘fun’. I’ve been doing regular sit-ups since the start of April, interspersed with a few […]
