The weather is unbearable. It is, quite frankly, too hot. After a winter and cold spell that seemed to last forever, we have flipped to the other extreme. I’d complain more, but that requires energy, that I simply do not have. Walking to and from work, I face this: And finally, because it amused me… […]
… is the new Prime Minister of my country, and I am ashamed. We did not actually vote for him (less than one percent of the country decided this bumbling, nasty piece of work should lead us), yet he is now responsible for guiding us through Brexit. Johnson has not shied from a no-deal scenario, […]
The King has returned. Or has he? By the way, spoilers sort of exist here. This morning I saw the new incarnation of The Lion King, a film that by now you all know holds a very dear place in my heart. Given my love for the classic, I was both nervous and excited to […]
Oh boy. I’m gonna be honest here, I started writing this before I saw the new film, and shortly after I’d re-watched the original 1994 classic. In an amazing quirk, that first sentence is 25 words, and it’s been 25 years since The Lion King first graced cinemas. It’s pretty astonishing to think that it’s […]
I’m not feeling blue for myself. I am more than capable of self-pity and self-denouncing my worth and skills, though I am working hard against those feelings. No, at the moment I am feeling down and worried for some former colleagues of mine. In recent weeks, two of my former employers have either collapsed or […]
I’m a bit gutted, to be honest. I’d spent some cash (not a lot but still) on a Wii U and Super Mario Maker for that console, only for Nintendo to announce Super Mario Maker 2 shortly afterwards. If I’d known! Still, I’ve had the opportunity to practice on the first installment of this franchise, […]
By now, I’ve found myself enjoying the presence and arguments of two… I don’t know, deeply conservative, devoutly religious sparring partners? Is that the right term? I don’t know, though it certainly fits. In this instance, the category is once again that of women’s rights and the desired interference of the religious right. The specifics […]
From me to my father, and to every father figure, Happy Father’s Day!
Not for the first time, Nintendo’s presentation at E3 (held this year in Los Angeles) has rocked peoples’ worlds. It’s certainly rocked mine, for one very specific reason, which I will come to in more detail in just a moment. Before I roll into the main meat of this post, I would just like to […]
Today marks the last day of trading for an old workplace of mine. I paid my respects, so to speak, earlier on, given how long I worked there and the history I have with the place and its people. There’s a lot of mixed feelings bubbling around right now, because the company itself is not […]
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. […]
