The Inane Asylum: Bubye winter.
http://aphertiser.blogspot.com/2006/10/bubye-winter.html
Wednesday, October 04, 2006. You know it’s that time of year again. The mercury climbs, and the lifestyle changes ever so slightly. I used to hate the warmer months, truth be told. But it changed last year. I used to lament warm weather, as I was hardly comfortable in shorts. But now evenings are spent walking through parks, and running like an idiot through the sprinklers - with my shirt and tie from work still on. Thank you, and goodnight. Posted by Andy at 3:44 PM. I love winter and i do not mind spri...

The Inane Asylum: March 2005
http://aphertiser.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 31, 2005. Philosophy and Seven Shades of Crap. I really should go back to my martial arts training. I’ve been out of it for so long, that I feel that I’m becoming rusty like the old tractor that has been sitting in the field for too long. My steps that were once light and sure are now heavy, dragging and awkward. My stance was once self assured and proud, but is now something of a hunching slouch. I picked up my katana. This philosophy rang particularly true when I went on a camp for my m...

The Inane Asylum: Obviously...
http://aphertiser.blogspot.com/2006/10/obviously.html
Monday, October 23, 2006. I have an honest face. Honest face = schmuck. So everyone, please perform the following acts:. Walk up to me in the street and ask for money. I obviously can afford it, and I’m obviously far too nice to turn you down. Order me around. I’m obviously too self conscious to make my own decisions, and I don’t have the assertive personality to stand up for myself. Disagree with me, and tell me why I’m too sensitive to your efforts to undermine my position and basically screw me over.

The Inane Asylum: The human atrium
http://aphertiser.blogspot.com/2006/10/human-atrium.html
Thursday, October 19, 2006. I work in a building in the Adelaide CBD, about nine storeys up. I have a nice view to the west, which shows a vast panorama of the glass building next door. There are days where I feel a little trapped. This feeling isn’t helped by the Venetian blinds which create a gaol-bar-like effect. About half an hour ago, this feeling came to a head, almost to the point where I cracked and started flinging crap around, like a caged animal. I have suddenly developed an odd hatred of zoos.

The Inane Asylum: Validation
http://aphertiser.blogspot.com/2006/11/validation.html
Thursday, November 02, 2006. It’s better to have competed and lost than to have not competed at all. Yes, back in June/July I wrote a short story in an effort to put my money where my mouth is, and show that I could actually string a thousand words together in an order that constituted a coherent story. Thinking I’d done an orright job of it, I entered it into the National Short Story Telling Competition, held by the Uni of Canberra. Needless to say, I didn’t win. But, considering the. Happen for you, so...

The Inane Asylum: July 2005
http://aphertiser.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 29, 2005. I pack scorn, and I don't care. Just when I thought I wasn’t a stereotypical male. Today, I realised that my wedding anniversary was on the 20th of July, and I had totally forgotten about it. There wasn’t a pang of anything on that day, no subtle cue that I had forgotten something. That was also the day I found out that I got this other job I recently went for. Dr Freud, eat your heart out. I never pass up an opportunity to reassure myself of how little she meant to me. It make...

The Inane Asylum: February 2005
http://aphertiser.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 28, 2005. Bitch About The Rich. I once went for a job as a web administrator. The selection process was fraught with many little irks and balls-ups worthy enough to be included in some Michael Moore documentary. Well, even after I sent them a concerned email. Outlining my disdain for their selection method, and their dubious typing skills, they rang me and offered me the job. temporarily. Obviously their primary choice has accepted the job, and then buggered off somewhere else for a while.

The Inane Asylum: Aries: Will travel. Stay clear of rats
http://aphertiser.blogspot.com/2006/11/aries-will-travel-stay-clear-of-rats.html
Tuesday, November 21, 2006. Aries: Will travel. Stay clear of rats. It seems that whenever I find I’m getting my shit together, something new always crops up and changes all the rules. I think I’m about to get a new job. How do I know this? My PC has been targeted for an upgrade. It’s happened in the last, ooh, four jobs, I reckon. So, my boss approaches me just the other day and says, Your PC is pretty crap. Why don’t you have a flat screen? I reply with a I make do with what you give me. It happens to ...

The Inane Asylum: Penguin Force, Go!
http://aphertiser.blogspot.com/2006/10/penguin-force-go.html
Wednesday, October 11, 2006. Penguin Force, Go! Over the years I’ve learned that dealing with a confrontation with an equal and opposite amout of aggression doesn’t cancel the confrontation out. Far from it. In fact, it makes the entire ordeal a fistful-of-fuck worse. He nodded like he understood what I was saying. The night progressed. We were at a black-tie dinner. Thankfully not too much booze was drank I had soft drink the whole night. Havin’ a good night, fellas? He slurred at us. I need to get home.
