My Year in Canada: Update
Hey, remember when I said I was going to write a series of travel logs about my year in Canada? And then I basically didn't... So, first I had to organise thousands of photos which had the wrong date tags and that took probably 15 hours of work spread out over a couple of weeks, … Continue reading My Year in Canada: Update
A dream
I had a dream this morning. It started out as a work trip to some kind of a huge formal building of some description. Rich red carpets on the floor, tasteful décor. Theresa got everyone lined up to get temporary photo-passes printed. I was last in the queue, and when I got my photo taken, … Continue reading A dream
Supersonic Festival 2011: Day 3 (A Tale Involving Ale)
Well, I'm writing this on the train home right now, and it will be posted later tonight when I am home, but it's time to write about yesterday, by which I mean Sunday, an eventful day which felt like two days, for reasons we shall get to. My first shift started at 1.00PM, so I … Continue reading Supersonic Festival 2011: Day 3 (A Tale Involving Ale)
Supersonic Festival 2011: Day 2 (Mute & More)
It is Sunday morning, and after a solid 8hrs of sleep, it is time for me to write up yesterday's happenings, of which there were quite a many. Earlier this week, my volunteering schedule was changed to allow me to participate in the Dirty Electronics workshop and performance, so I was not volunteering at all … Continue reading Supersonic Festival 2011: Day 2 (Mute & More)
Supersonic Festival 2011: Day 1 – Part 3 (Box Office & the Secret Chiefs)
Okay, it's Saturday morning now. Time to do a quick wrap-up of yesterday's happenings I feel. So, got to the site, got signed in and got my shirt, then headed out to the box office which looked like this: We kicked off around 9.05, and just as with last year, the queue was super-busy for … Continue reading Supersonic Festival 2011: Day 1 – Part 3 (Box Office & the Secret Chiefs)
Supersonic Festival 2011: Day 1 – Part 2 (The Evening)
Turns out the giant TV in my room won't respond to any input for some unknown reason, so I guess I'll inform reception. I wasn't planning to watch any TV or anything, it's just strange, and I guess they'd want to know, if they don't already. So, I am just about to leave to go … Continue reading Supersonic Festival 2011: Day 1 – Part 2 (The Evening)
Supersonic Festival 2011: Day 1 – Part 1 (Some Thoughts on a Train)
Hey ladies. And gentlemen too, I guess. So Supersonic Festival 2011 kicks off this evening in the fine post-industrial city of Birmingham. And that's where I am travelling to as I write this, on the 10:00 Virgin Trains service to Birmingham New Street, delayed by about an hour due to vandalism on the line by … Continue reading Supersonic Festival 2011: Day 1 – Part 1 (Some Thoughts on a Train)
Google+
You may or may not have noticed that I have never joined Facebook. There are various reasons, but one of them is that I really do not like anything about the way Facebook works or is run. If you like and use Facebook, that's your business, and by all means enjoy it. I'm not going … Continue reading Google+
A Milestone
I have said before, I have a fairly glacial reading pace. I don't skim-read, or anything, I tend to read every word, and if my thoughts wander, I'll skip back a paragraph to make sure I'm taking it all in. Anyway, I started reading The Stand by Stephen King in January. I finished it yesterday. … Continue reading A Milestone
