Home of Demented Nuri Words. Past and Present Polls. Planet Earth is Blue, and There’s Nothing I Can Do. January 11, 2016. Now don’t get me wrong, these people were talented, and worked hard to achieve what they did, but I can’t help but feel it’s weird to be so affected by their passing. Basically this morning the feelings I got reminded me of an excerpt from Utopia by Thomas More [which was on my 2015 reading list. Loosely paraphrased from Utopia by Thomas More. And this made me think of one of my favo...

Home of Demented Nuri Words. Past and Present Polls. Archive for October, 2013. October 28, 2013. With November just a few sleeps away I thought I would give you a heads up for what you can expect from me over the coming month. For anyone who doesn’t know me well enough, here’s a quick low down on why November is special. [For people who do know me, skip past the bits you know]. November is National Novel Writing Month – AKA NaNoWriMo. And loads of other goodies. Not to mention the satisfaction you f...

Home of Demented Nuri Words. Past and Present Polls. January 31, 2013. Other People – Martin Amis. Ok readers, I’m gonna be honest with you: The only reason I picked this book up is because I really enjoyed ‘Time’s Arrow’ by Martin Amis, and this was by him as well, and I saw it in a charity bookshop. Cheap books written by cool authors made StudentNuri happy, I just never found the time to get around to reading some of them…. This frame which Amis has set up for his story is pretty cool, and it gives hi...

Home of Demented Nuri Words. Past and Present Polls. IOU By Light Alone. IOU By Light Alone. February 27, 2013. Thanks to the crazy busy times of Half Term, and other things happening, I didn’t manage to post this sooner. I also may have been a day or two behind in finishing this book. Here’s a quick post about the third book I read for 2013. By Light Alone – Adam Roberts. You just have to find out more. My favourite character has to have been Ergaste, one of George’s friends.

Home of Demented Nuri Words. Past and Present Polls. June 8, 2013. Coming out to people shouldn’t be difficult but actually I dread it. Especially at work. It is impossible to tell who is accepting and who is an idiot. Today I was outed in front of people who, to be honest, I didn’t think would be decent about it anyway. Apologies for the rant, this could go on forever and there’s no point. I just needed to vent. Hope you’re all safe,. June 8, 2013 at 11:55 pm. June 9, 2013 at 10:34 pm. You’ll have...

Hjiraghnrguhaiphjriaohrnh I am sick of this I am so fucking sick of stupid people on social media. Am I missing something here? Help me out because I think people are being outraged by the wrong things. How did ‘Blurred Lines’ become a summer hit? But there are more posts hating on women than there are on Robin Thicke? She’s not allowed to make backhanded commentary? I know I’m open...

Home of Demented Nuri Words. Past and Present Polls. Update: Book Fail/New Job. May 21, 2013. Ok…listen…yes, I know. I know that “you’ll have to wait a day or two for a new post” turned into quite a few months, but I. I have a good reason. I have some excellent news! I got a new job! So what is this job which has changed EVERYTHING? The past week was a bit tough, felt like I wasn’t on form and some people kind of made comments about how being a tour guide is rubbish and why would you want to do tha...
