When taking a late-night stroll through a fairly remote field do not let your mind wander off and think about the film Zodiac.
Memory man
Thursday, May 8th, 2008I was a little forgetful last night. I filled up my bike at the petrol station and then parked around the back of the station briefly so I could pick up some chips from the chip shop next door. After I had ordered my food I realised that ...
Portishead: 3
Friday, May 2nd, 2008The NME had a glowing review of Portishead's third album recently, which piqued my interest. Their first album, Dummy, is excellent, their second is much bleaker but still good, and this third album is supposedly even better. That it comes many years after their previous release makes it ...
No jam
Friday, May 2nd, 2008The new extra lane on the M1 has been opened both north- and southbound for the northern half of the expansion project. What a difference it has made! Before this morning, I have never seen southbound commuter traffic moving at anything less than a crawl for a few ...
My head aches
Thursday, May 1st, 2008I have another headache. Or maybe it's the same one from yesterday evening, subdued temporarily by some paracetamol and rearing it's ugly head again. I don't know why, but my headaches simply won't go away without taking some pills. No matter how quiet or relaxed I make ...
Motorbike vs. ambulance
Thursday, May 1st, 2008Heading home from work yesterday I encountered the sadly familiar sight of slow-moving traffic on the motorway, as it edged its way through the roadworks for ten miles or so. I have about six miles to travel through it before a contraflow section allows me to break away from ...
Tongue flesh wound
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008I would have hoped that by now I am proficient enough at chewing food that I won't bite my tongue when eating. Alas, that doesn't seem to be the case, as I have a fresh wound from last night's dinner. This time I did not bite my tongue as such, ...
Bank card nonsense
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008A couple of weeks back I bought a whole load of tickets for myself and a couple of friends for the forthcoming Sci-fi Film Festival in London. Despite having done this every year since the event started the large purchase of cinema tickets gets flagged as anomalous by my ...
Guitar set-up, painting put up
Monday, April 28th, 2008I set-up my guitar a little bit over the weekend. I didn't change the action, partly because it is supposedly set at the optimal height already, and partly because I wasn't sure if there was an extra nut I needed to undo or not and didn't want to break ...
Motorbike MOT annoyance
Monday, April 28th, 2008I took the day off on Friday to take my motorbike in for a service and to get its annual MOT certificate. Because the bike needed a new front tyre the garage needed to service the bike outside of a weekend, hence the day off for me. On ...
