Six Days from Suwon: June 2009
http://blackwoodii.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Six Days from Suwon. Friday, 26 June 2009. Soju on the pavilion. Not illegal to drink in public here. Score. Seoul City is mobbed. They love their neon lights and blinky signs. Epileptic’s nightmare. There’s a big yellow thing in the sky. I’m from the Tundra and therefore can’t be certain of its motives. The best part of Korean culture must be the jjimjilbang. The worse is selling bunnies in plastic bags on the street, and skinning fish alive. Haejangguk will cure any hangover. Wednesday, 24 June 2009.

Six Days from Suwon: March 2010
http://blackwoodii.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Six Days from Suwon. Sunday, 28 March 2010. Memory of the day (March 28 2010). Catching sight of a pair of wild jaguars in Manu. National Park, Peru. I spotted them accidentally from the river boat we'd been travelling on. I'd gotten lazy on the looking out for wildlife front after two days in what was little more than a big canoe surrounded by caimans. And as a result was only using one half of my binoculars to drag my eyes along the edge of the Madre. The exact colour of the rainforest. They are alread...

Six Days from Suwon: Thames Festival
http://blackwoodii.blogspot.com/2010/10/thames-festival.html
Six Days from Suwon. Sunday, 3 October 2010. The last of the great summer weather ruffled our hair and blew the fluffy clouds away over the distant pinnacles of East London. The Thames Festival lined up along the edges of the great meandering river, with a dizzying quantity of stalls promoting the foods and cultures of an equally impressive number of different countries. Spanish paella, Polish cakes, Korean kimchi with a free corresponding cookery book (score! A few more reasons to love London.

The Crayfish Diaries: Rude News and Ill Thinking. Friday, August 17, 2012. If you kill me in a dream, you'd better wake up and apologise. Rest in pieces, Detective Madsen! I flew to the top of a sort of mix between and Aztec ziggurat and the CN tower and proceeded to do battle with Madsen, before I SMOTE HIS RUIN on the ground below. This marks the first time my rampaging, untamed id has assassinated a celebrity in a dream. Go me. Wednesday, August 01, 2012. No, please. Not the knives.

The Crayfish Diaries: Rude News and Ill Thinking. Sunday, November 04, 2012. This page is normally reserved for fatuous things, but today, unfortunately, the fates have aligned to give me reason to be serious. I could share anecdotes about Ed with you all day. I'm writing this primarily to reminisce with those who shared these moments with us, but also in case anyone else who knew him stumbles over these words, and wants to know more about a a period of his life they weren't a part of. I'm sad, because t...

The Crayfish Diaries: Rude News and Ill Thinking. Friday, August 29, 2014. The Mass Effect trilogy postmortem. Phineas Shepard, presumably making a tough call. This article contains endemic spoilers for Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3. Goodbye forever, space wife! So, what of the ending? We'll see what a few centuries inside the collective mind of a bunch of immortal machines does to his finely developed sense of fair play. Who's this lying in the rubble, N7 dogtags round his neck? So many thoughts. This game...

The Crayfish Diaries: Rude News and Ill Thinking. Sunday, November 27, 2011. Totally inequipped to deal with vampires. Apparently, when you die in one of my dreams, you float above your body and look down, while god tells you which of the beliefs that you had in life were misheld. The only thing I can remember god telling me was "William Blake is a liar". And then I woke up. Several disturbing things about this dream:. Tuesday, November 22, 2011. The Nigerian Federal Ministry of Agriculture. We will neve...

The Crayfish Diaries: Rude News and Ill Thinking. Saturday, March 02, 2013. Can you believe Ubisoft failed to hire me as a games writer? Who could ever want to kill these guys? I applied for a writer job a couple of years back with Ubisoft. Of course, with my complete lack of game writing experience, references, connections, or any verifiable talent, I didn't even get an interview. But in a way, having just completed Far Cry 3. I can't help but feel the joke is on them. He describes Jason as an "unreliab...
