Lost to everything but a vague sense of jam and idleness…. Brain/Food: an entirely sugar-free post. This entry was posted on April 30, 2013 and tagged Brain Food.

Lost to everything but a vague sense of jam and idleness…. This entry was posted on June 10, 2015 and tagged Christopher Marlowe. I’m not generally one for reading in bed, but some books simply can’t be got at any other way. One such book is Gervase Markham’s. Which Penguin has so conveniently/irritatingly extracted from the much longer. Can do without in a book! Never mind. I’m interested in this booklet for what it. For many reasons, but maybe most for one phrase near the end of the play:. Now we can a...

Lost to everything but a vague sense of jam and idleness…. There’s something inherently shabby and doomed about corner stores, even when they persist over many years; even new or renovated, they tend towards an atmosphere of decay and fatigue. The official story is that my neighbourhood is gentrifying, and over the past few years, house prices have skyrocketed in confirmation of this claim. However, the houses … Continue reading →.

Lost to everything but a vague sense of jam and idleness…. The beasties’ share. This entry was posted on July 26, 2015 and tagged gardening. There’s a legend about why whisky disappears, in modest little sips, out of the casks it’s stored in. Year after year, benign supernatural beings take their price as the liquid matures, and this is called the angel’s share. Peppers, we hardly knew ye. There’s been a murder. The squirrels often steal tomatoes off the vine as well; on top of this, whether I over- or u...

Lost to everything but a vague sense of jam and idleness…. Posted in June 2015. Nice and good things, continued. A few months ago, I wrote a list of awesome things to counteract the spirits of despair, bad backs, sore necks, and old-person feet. Things are better and worse; but rather than recite another, slightly revised, litany of aches and pains, I’ll skip to my ever-growing List of Nice and Good Things [DRAFT] because: 1.

Lost to everything but a vague sense of jam and idleness…. This entry was posted on August 5, 2015 and tagged thots. I accept, sometimes even embrace, the fact that if a language is to survive it must continue to change and expand (e.g., derp, holla, selfie, twerk, nah); I must therefore also accept that some of these changes will not be attractive ones (e.g., irregardless (def: regardless), literally (def: figuratively) .
