Hands up – I was wrong. “With Teeth” has grown on me a lot – so much so that I’ve listened to it solidly since I got back from holiday as I missed having it there. The track I keep listening to repeatedly has to be “Only”. I don’t know what [...]
Keep your eye upon the sparrow
What happens when you take the twisted vision of Spike Jonze and give it a lethal exposure to the warped and disturbed mind of Jim “Foetus” Thirlwell? Quite simply, this, the video to “Blessed Evening”, a track from the forthcoming new Foetus album “Love”.
The video is directed by Karen O of the “YeahYeahYeahs” (no, [...]
Weight Watch ‘05: Week 10
I tell you, there’s nothing like a good case of food poisoning to help with weight loss! Hoo-ahh!
Mind you, I hadn’t realised quite what a putrid shade of yellow our downstairs toilet was. Must get around to redecorating sometime.
Underneath It All
I got my photos developed today. They’re not overly great because I was reduced to using the most basic of automatic 35mm point and click cameras in a case. Although I used 400ASA films, I had no control over the speed, aperture or flash so a lot of them suffer from backscatter (when [...]

So on the train the other day, the missus said to me “What happens if the boat leaves you behind like in that film?” The film in question was [...]
Friday the 13th
Now I’m not superstitious but today has all the hallmarks of a very inauspicious day. It started with the bus being a fraction late and that led to me missing the train. After finally getting into work, I was faced with having to deal with people who are, quite frankly, too stupid to [...]
Weight Watch ‘05: Week 8
Following a weekend of making tiramisu and barbecues (in which I was very restrained) I was surprised – nay – astounded to find that I’d lost four pounds in the last week and am now at the svelte weight of 14 stone and 0.5 pounds. This means that I’m very close to my target [...]
Tiramisu
I only make two deserts. The common feature of both is that they are highly alcoholic. Tiramisu is a definite party favourite and my victims friends are always asking me to make them one. I could give you some guff about how it’s Italian and translates as “pick me up” but [...]
