I was channel surfing through Disney+ the other day, bored with The Muppet Show (yes, I actually said that) and looking for a movie to watch, when I accidentally happened upon this, because I honestly thought it was the movie with John Cusack and Jack Black, which I haven't seen in years. Instead, I found … Continue reading High Fidelity (the TV show)
Listen to the lyrics, goddammnit!!!
So I was watching a Watch Mojo countdown the other day (yeah, I know, they're lame, but they're a guilty pleasure. Shoot me) and it got me thinking (which is unusual because they tend to have the opposite effect). Being a cynic about marriage and weddings, I don't usually think about the sort of music … Continue reading Listen to the lyrics, goddammnit!!!
My Weekly Rant
So, two weeks ago I finally caught Covid, which was surprising to me because I didn't think my immune system was good enough that I'd manage to avoid it for two years despite everyone around me getting it and working in a Covid hospital. But anyway, I got it, and BOY, did I get it! … Continue reading My Weekly Rant

Why I choose to stay single
I joined a Facebook page recently called Why I stay single. It's full of memes and quotes about bad relationships and bad behavior by both guys and girls while in relationships, all of which would make the average person pause and wonder why the fuck anyone would want to subject themselves to the idiosyncrasies, wants … Continue reading Why I choose to stay single
A slight case of writer’s block …
Well, more than slight, actually. To be perfectly honest, I haven't written anything of note in over a year. And no, I'm not talking about blog posts, I'm talking about actual stories. I used to love writing stories. Short stories, longer stories, hell, I didn't care, I was in my element. Especially at university, while … Continue reading A slight case of writer’s block …

Anyhow, stiff shit, and on with the show ... Speaking of shows, I managed to catch most of The Sandman on Netflix and I have … Continue reading Weekly Rant
Trainwreck – Woodstock ’99
Yes, I watched the doco on Netflix. Am still watching it, in fact. And here are just a few of my thoughts … Here’s why festivals like this never work in today’s world.

Forever 23
(Re-posted as it was not in archives as promised) My uncle was murdered in the early hours of Thursday, May 27, 1993. A perpetual night owl, he was visiting a friend who lived nearby. Hours later, as he waved goodbye, and headed across the road to his car, he was gunned down. Shot in the … Continue reading Forever 23
