Stuff that keeps my brain occupied. Middot; Published 31/08/2013. Middot; Last modified 20/01/2014. Nintendo Needs A Mushroom. In which I lament Nintendo, who birthed the modern gaming industry but who have recently gotten onto shaky ground. Middot; Published 17/08/2013. Middot; Last modified 21/01/2014. In which I have my first listen to Applause and find out if everyone going gaga for a good reason. Middot; Published 10/08/2013. Middot; Last modified 21/01/2014. In which I rejoice. Habemus Doctoram!

Fatblog: 5K Potato – Foppish Drunk
http://foppishdrunk.com/fatblog-5k-potato
Seismic changes have occurred recently. Foppish, the most momentous of which is that I jog now. Jogging is cool. I’ve talked before about the massive job change I underwent at the end of last year which utterly stalled and in fact undid my weight loss. Finally I’ve been able to reverse that trend by doing something I should have done ten years ago and actually getting off my arse and doing some exercise. Who even am I any more? My resting heart rate graph after three weeks. A while ago I decided, in an u...

Saturday, 31 May 2014. Write a short story. Standing in a pub having a terrible time. A series of questionable decisions have brought us this far, to that irretrievable point where you are incapable of having a good time, but where something drives you on to make a success of it. Not to pretend; nothing so contrived. Self-delusion maybe. Sometimes it just doesn’t work. A change of drinks maybe? How enjoyable it was going to be! Here I was anyway. Waiting is part of the process, but it never used to b...

Thursday, 9 January 2014. Boys and their Toys. Today I read a tweet about gay men all loving Lego. This is true. Gay men DO all love Lego. Fact. But it’s also inaccurate. It’s not gay men that love Lego. It’s just men. They love Lego. And it’s not just Lego. Men love toys. Because men, if we’re honest, are generally just little boys who got taller. And boys love their toys. So why, I hear you ask, is there this gay perception pertaining to toys, games, gadgets and geekery? Pants, playing playstation all ...

Sunday, 4 January 2015. New Year, Same Old Brand New You. Shit Forgot to Blog since July. So it’s now January, 2015. What has happened? It’s time for my New Year Recap: 2014 In A Nutshell. We went to Amsterdam, and spent all our money and all our time in a Eurovision Bar that played Take Me To Your Heaven once every hour. I have spent more on my car than ever before, in A Series OF Unfortunate Events, but now it is fine and I am convalescing from Open-Wallet-Surgery. There are possibly other events that ...

Saturday, 5 July 2014. If I were asked to recount a particular triumph from the dim recesses of my mind, there is only one occasion that speaks to me. I’ve done okay in life in general. I have three degrees, I’ve had some amazing exam results, I’ve won LOADS of competitions (oddly – I don’t know why, but I’ve won almost every competition I’ve entered). But one particular triumph sticks in my mind above all these. It was Coat Hanger Day. The arm was too long, and could not be controlled with any precision...

deliberate/illiterate: What annoys you every day?
http://deliberateilliterate.blogspot.com/2014/05/what-annoys-you-every-day.html
Tuesday, 27 May 2014. What annoys you every day? Since my new school’s opening, certain things have changed. We are lucky enough to have a fresh, state-of-the-art special needs school, with first rate facilities and everything within shiny and brand new. We are lucky enough to have beautiful new classrooms, with individual gardens or –in my case – a gorgeous roof terrace. We are lucky enough to have a new staffing structure, with the odd little promotion and pleasing pay-rise thrown in, for some of us.

Tuesday, 23 July 2013. NO PIZZA FOR YOU! Today I got paid for eating Domino’s Pizza and watching The Amazing Spider-man. Jimmy came in in a foul mood and refused to do any work all morning (and it’s end of term, so for ‘work’, read maths games/colouring in/gentle, undemanding, semi-educational activities punctuated by treats and end of term reward events. Like DVDs. Or pizza). To try and help him recover his day and get out of his foul mood, I tried to persuade him to come and choose his pizza toppings.
