Day 10. Talk about your pets or the pets you would...
I’ve lived with a whole bunch of pets before; cats, dogs, budgies, rabbits and siblings. I wouldn’t mind having pets again, particularly if I’d be living somewhere by myself, but there’s a couple of problems.
1) I don’t particulalrly like dogs and, as a plus, I’m quite violently allergic, so it’s a bit of a moot point.
2) I’m mildly allergic to...
“The problems with mixology begin with the word itself, a clumsy cocktail of...”
– Sarah Deming on exactly what’s wrong with the world of drinking. Go read it, take it in and remember that the bar should be the public house, the nexus of our neighborhoods and an oasis from the pervasive bullshit that soils our day.

"Wake Up, Geek Culture. Time To Die!" by Patton... →
This is a really interesting article about the consumption of media and how recent advances have changed the very fabric of what defines ‘geek’ culture. He raises some damn good points, however, his solution (or at least hope) rubs me up the wrong way.
Basically; at the end of the article he laments that the Internet, which perceivably allows anything to become ‘pop’...
Day 8. Are you a fitness guru or a couch potato?...
I’m lazy, but trying to make an effort to improve my attitude and get fit… simple as that

A Clitoris is actually an undeveloped penis; since we all , at some point, are both male and female in the uterus, before the dominate gene takes over, the penis on a female and a male actually is the same. and once the dominate gene…
If we’re going scientifically correct here, foetii (is that the plural?) actually first develop as...
Day 7. How you came across Tumblr and how your...
Truth be told, I honestly don’t know… for both, really…
I suppose, effect wise, it’s helped me air a lot of the shit going through my head and gain ameasure of catharsis, even at inconvenient times in the morning. It’s kept me entertained and good humoured at some bad times and it’s helped me see the pathetic end of a path I was heading towards with my...
Day 6. Your favourite season and why.
Spring or Autumn, I guess. Not because I’m particularly fond of either, although they both have nice weather moments, but because I just don’t like it when it’s sweaty-ass hot or frozen-nuts cold. I like it warm enough to go without a jacket if you want, but cool enough to cuddle up and watch a movie. I suppose it’s the best attitude to have really. This way, I get 6 months...
The Brutality of Toy Story 3 (Spoilers Ahoy!)
I finally saw Toy Story 3 on Christmas Eve and, I have to say, the descriptions my friends had given me about how emotionally affecting the film was did not do it justice. This film is amazing and Pixar really should be commended, because they have produced a film that is, on the surface, dramatic but upbeat, but if you look in to the subtext it’s emotionally brutal in three different...
Day 5. Tell us our three favourite colours.
You can’t judge me for this one being late. It was Christmas and the busiest Christmas day I’ve had in years. By the time I was anywhere near my computer, I was drunk and extremely tired… so shut it! :)
Right, back on topic.Colours…
Red, for sure. Danger, anger and passion… it’s a very versatile colour, really.
A nice, deep, verdant Green… As much of a...
Day 4. Write about your closest friend(s).
Closest friends…
Paul’s a gimme, really. He’s been my housemate on and off since ‘07 and we’ve been friends since we first worked together back in ‘05 on ‘Panto at the OK Corral’. We’re those friends who share a creepy mental wavelength that ends up with us having the same thoughts simultaneously, making the same jokes in unison and...
Day 3. Your favourite Television program.
It’s really hard for me to pick a specific favourite show, because I never find myself getting really invested in a show any more.
I rewatch the entireity of Star Trek: DS9 on occasion, so I suppose that comes closest. How I Met Your Mother would be a close second, I suppose.
I watched Mad Men, Spartacus: Blood and Sand and Eureka recently, just the first seasons, and they were pretty rad....
Day 2. Talk about your piercings or tattoos, if...
So, off to a good start with posting these on time, huh? :-/
Anyhow, tattoos. I currently don’t have any, but I plan on getting two. Both heavy in symbolism and meaning, but would I really have it any other way? No, of course I wouldn’t.
Right Shoulder
The first tattoo I plan on getting is a bit of a mashup. It consists of a golden, double headed eagle, known as ‘The...
Day 1. Your middle name and how you feel about it.
My middle name is Rhys (pronounced the same as ‘Reece’, as it’s the celtic form).
I’m pretty impartial to it, really. It’s kinda funny to see people try to pronounce it sometimes, or try to spell it if I don’t tell them, but I usually tell them straight away.
All told, I like it aesthetically, since it matches ‘Alastair’ for celtic points. Collins,...

Always dangerous, but here we go.
I think that having sex as little as a month into a relationship would just be a bad idea. I mean, what would you have to look forward to ? How would you deepen your relationship six months down the track ? I think that once you do the deed you sort of just get…
I’m going to have to disagree with you there. Whether or not...
I think I'm going to start taking the 'Fight Club'...
You have to consider the possibility that this girl does not like you. She never wanted you. In all probability, she hates you. This is not the worst thing that can happen.
You don’t need her!
Fuck relationships, man! Fuck peer-based validation! We are the world’s unwanted lovers? So be it!
First you have to give up. First you have to know… not fear… know… that...
The Radiohead "01 and 10" Playlist
Trust me, this is pretty rad. To do it, you’ll need to own OK Computer and In Rainbows… or, you know, at least have them. Alternate the first five tracks of each, so you end up with this:
01 - Airbag 02 - 15 Step 03 - Paranoid Android 04 - Bodysnatchers 05 - Subterranean Homesick Alien 06 - Nude 07 - Exit Music (For a Film) 08 - Weird Fishes / Arpeggi 09 - Let Down 10 - All I Need
