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 →

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.

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) →

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 →
