Anyway. I’m catching a bus to work at the moment. I decided today would be International Twitter Bad Poetry Day on the 900 bus from Coventry to Birmingham (and back). I believe I may have been the only one celebrating. Here’s what I wrote, collated and unexpurgated (or edited, sadly). bus you are so gay/ [...]
I’ve noticed that Will Luers’ website http://solublefish.tv/ has been down for a while now. I’m hoping that this is just a temporary glitch and he just hasn’t had a chance to pay the rent because he’s been so busy? His vlogs were always interesting and worth checking out and he is definitely one of the [...]
I’m not sure how to find a way in to writing about the stand-up comedy stuff I’ve been researching and thinking about (and doing a couple of gigs) recently. Any analysis/deconstruction is slightly flawed because I’ve not really read a lot of critical interpretation of performance and theatre work and I don’t understand enough of [...]
Here’s some footage that I shot while away in Wales. It’s a few months old now, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to edit it together and play around with the interactivity. I won’t explain where or what purpose the interactivity is, or what significance there might be for having it. Not [...]
Everything is always about becoming something else. That’s the nature of the universe, man. I use the word man a lot in my texts these days. It’s funny how your text language can change depending on who you’re talking to. Often I’ll rewrite a message because I think it’s inappropriate for the recipient. And I’m [...]
I have terribly pretentious pretentions at times. Deeply ingrained codes of behaviour and viewpoints that I hold dear. They’re what help me get through the day and night and go towards helping me avoid becoming a totally obnoxious arse. Which, ironically, they probably add to me being. Or, in a better written sentence: Ironically, they [...]
Sometimes, when I’m watching a performer on stage, I suddenly get the feeling that the lights are angled such that they really have no idea exactly where the stage ends and where the audience begins. If they’re lucky there’s laughter and feedback that fuels the performance. If it isn’t comedy, then they can’t be sure [...]
I like the days when my fingers hover over the keyboard for hours on end and I haven’t a clue what to do next. Sure, I got work to do, who doesn’t? But what I struggle with is how happy I am to just spend my day doing that hovering. Probably what makes it more [...]
(This is my attempt at knocking something out for My Super First Day.) As usual, I awoke to the strains of Uncertain Smile by The The. I’d programmed it into my alarm clock to give me an almost pathologically positive start to the day. Who the hell wouldn’t feel uplifted and ready to go sign [...]
Here’s part two of Dust Bunny knows best. I’ve an idea of what I’m going to try to write, but we’ll see. Here goes: Have we started yet? I think I just typed into a different window on my laptop. There’s a faint chance that I’ve just told my mum that I have terrible diarrhea [...]
