Freelance Flaneur: May 2015
http://freelanceflaneur.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
I used to get out more. Thursday, May 28, 2015. Anyone whos commissioned repetitive corporate work from me knows that Im a firm believer in doing things properly. And by the book, though preferably with the minimal amount of time and effort expended. Monday, May 4, 2015. I may have given up on the dream of writing creatively for a living as soon as I left university and entered the real world (not going back there again), but I can only consume so much of other peoples works before I feel guilty and need...

Freelance Flaneur: Dream journal: Celebrity edition
http://freelanceflaneur.blogspot.com/2015/07/dream-journal-celebrity-edition.html
I used to get out more. Monday, July 20, 2015. Dream journal: Celebrity edition. I'm struggling for themes, and since a sizeable quantity of the recent dreams I bothered to jot down after waking (I said waking) involved a famous person of some kind, let's go with that. I'll tell you now that these aren't the sexy type of celebrity dreams - they exclusively feature quite old men. Here are 20 more interesting-only-to-me unconscious adventures. Meisterwerk, feat. Reeves and Mortimer. One of these - a Holmes...

Freelance Flaneur: Alrightreads: June
http://freelanceflaneur.blogspot.com/2015/06/alrightreads-june.html
I used to get out more. Sunday, June 28, 2015. After spending a month at the grown-up table (with a couple of exceptions), it was back to lightweight books in both senses for June. It was much more enjoyable, taking me back to those days of dipping in and out of several library books a night. Do you remember libraries? 69 Jimmy Maher, The Future Was Here: The Commodore Amiga. 2012 / E-book / 344 pages (there's almost 100 pages of glossary, bibliography and index, to be fair) / USA? This Amiga historian d...

Freelance Flaneur: Helping the misfortunate
http://freelanceflaneur.blogspot.com/2015/06/helping-misfortunate.html
I used to get out more. Tuesday, June 2, 2015. Like all humble philanthropists, I don't like to talk about my charity work. Though in my case that's because I don't do very much, beyond a monthly Red Cross direct debit that could be a lot bigger, the annual Herring. Buying the occasional charity eBook. To offset my guilt for stealing all the others and dropping coins into cups on the rare occasions I head into civilisation. I'm no Jimmy Savile, is what I'm saying. I've often wondered what it would take t...

Freelance Flaneur: Closure
http://freelanceflaneur.blogspot.com/2015/03/closure.html
I used to get out more. Friday, March 27, 2015. Whether you read a lot of books, pore over a newspaper or magazine every day, or you just waste a lot of time reading websites of no nutritional value such as this one, there's no doubt you will have read more open brackets in your life (and other types of punctuation marks than closed ones, due to the illiteracy or forgetfulness of the authors or copy editors involved. In a neat enough square sort of shape that should at least go some way towards helping:.

Freelance Flaneur: Alrightreads: May
http://freelanceflaneur.blogspot.com/2015/05/alrightreads-may.html
I used to get out more. Thursday, May 28, 2015. Anyone who's commissioned repetitive corporate work from me knows that I'm a firm believer in doing things properly. And by the book, though preferably with the minimal amount of time and effort expended. 59 Roger Hargreaves, Mr. Messy. 1972 / Physical book / 32 pages / UK. 59 James Joyce, Ulysses. 1920 / Audiobook / 783 pages / Ireland. It's been called the book that people read to look intelligent rather than to actually enjoy, but it's so damn impressive...

Freelance Flaneur: February 2015
http://freelanceflaneur.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
I used to get out more. Saturday, February 28, 2015. Alrightreads: January and February. Last year, my friend/rival Oliver wrote a blog post about his failed attempt to read 100 books in a year that inspired me to try the same before pathetically failing myself. This year he wrote about his more successful failed attempt. That inspired me to try again and do it properly this time. Maybe when I try again next year theyll even be proper, adult books with hardly any drawings at all. Sunday, February 22, 2015.

Freelance Flaneur: December 2014
http://freelanceflaneur.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
I used to get out more. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Best of 2014, Not from 2014. Its the end of another arbitrary year. As if you hadnt noticed, and an opportunity for pathetic blogs to beg for desperate clicks by publishing banal end-of-year lists of some things they are aware were broadly popular within the previous 12 months, without risking revealing too much about their individual taste and putting off the clickers with obscure choices. Location: Davao City, Davao del Sur, Philippines. Which means...

Freelance Flaneur: Irrelevant soundtracks
http://freelanceflaneur.blogspot.com/p/irrelevant-soundtracks.html
I used to get out more. Most of the photos I've shared with you over the past few years are still inseparably linked in my memories with a soundtrack of one or more men (and the occasional woman) telling me all about the adventures of some fictional men (and the occasional fictional woman) or some anthropomophised animals in peril. Whatever I happened to be listening to at the time. This pointlessly exhaustive catalogue of what I was listening to where. Wandering the streets of Edinburgh after dark.

Freelance Flaneur: July 2015
http://freelanceflaneur.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
I used to get out more. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. So I did my arbitrary 100 books. Not all were equally worthy, and my attention wandered during some of the ones I didnt really enjoy but forced myself to get through in the name of fun. Its almost like its all just a meaningless activity to give me something to do and cut down on the TV. One way to make sure could be to actually read things I might actually like. Which probably means things are going to get even more repetitive. Monday, July 20, 2015.
