@AlabasterC That request came as I was listening to this - hopefully this can de-angerfy you. :-)

May I tell you that I really enjoyed your unicorn story?

Bygone...
Mr Chuck Wendig (@ChuckWendig on Twitter) has regular Flash Fiction competitions. On Friday he asked for a 1,000 word story about unicorns. I’ve never entered one of these competitions, and never felt compelled to write about unicorns, especially since seeing that web post with the most atrocious unicorn tattos imaginable, but I like a challenge. Not sure exactly where to go with my unicorn...
Killing Time In Camden...
It’s mid afternoon in Camden. I’ve met a friend working in the market, who has been handling a hangover and has been demonstrating to me which stalls he watches over, and the constant stream of young attractive girls that wander by. I’ve been to the shop that looks like it’s like an Ibiza club, were it an Ibiza club in the 22nd century – it’s all glow in the dark bits and edgy graphics and loud...
Memos from the underworld
I’ve got a new hobby. It started last Monday as I found myself in a basement level bar, and sitting on my own. Lacking the ability to Tweet to a larger audience, I began making notes… here are the three Memos I’ve got on my phone as of last night, possibly edited for reasons of spelling and, erm, to avoid bad mouthing anyone. In each of these situations I have been a bit drunk,...

Ready to go...
So, last night I ended up chatting with the mysterious K. As I’ve said on Twitter I’ve told him much I’m not really prepared to put onto blogs, because putting things on blogs can cement all your crazy ideas into a solid form that, once witnessed, often can’t quite be forgotten.
One of the topics we quite often come back to is crazy exes, and in particular this came up...
Awkward
This Tuesday saw me doing one of those things I haven’t done in a long while - go to a book reading and signing. The reading and signing in question was by Danny Wallace, and it was the second of his Awkward Situations For Men books, featuring articles as appeared over many many many weeks in Shortlist magazine. As seen here:...
Everyone has a summer they want to remember…
"Intimate" - an experience...
The weather’s gone crazy recently. My flatmate says it’s become autumn prematurely, but I keep thinking of it as having lapsed back into spring. I got caught in torrential rain on Friday night, and it wasn’t too great on Sunday either.
The ICA thing I went to with Chris and Claire though was pretty cool, even though my shoes were soaked through by the time we got there (I...

Something for the weekend?
This weekend I’m taking a break from being a zombie and going out clubbing. Someone who was a zombie in one of the films has invited her fellow zombies to see her band play in Camden on Saturday. Another zombie has invited me (and all her other Facebook friends) to a club somewhere near Old Street at 11ish the same evening. And then I’ll probably stagger along to Slimelight, up the...

@ChuckWendig @warrenellis - who’ve both inspired me to write this week. I have terrible things brewing in my head.

Time To Kill
This Blog post has been deleted because it’s been suggested that the police might get involved, and because people are choosing to quote sections of it to argue background details. The original post was written after a lot of consideration, and as such was toned down from my actual thoughts on the subject - essentially it’s my concerns I wanted to express, not a history of events...
Okay, young and cool people of Tumblr...
A Facebook friend of mine was saying it’s about time punk came around again. I said it probably came around every so, often, that he was probably no longer young enough to recognise (and that I wasn’t either, on the wrong side of 35).
So my question is… what’s today’s answer to ‘punk’? And I don’t mean ‘punk-lite’ like Green Day (not...

Red on white
My design eye has picked up two unfortunate events in the UK coinciding with the Japan disaster(s).
Red Nose Day and any appeal for survivors of the Japan earthquake/tsunami are deemed not only to fight for money from charitable people this week. Some papers, that necessitate the disaster to have some sort of banner, just to let you know what you’re reading about, are using the traditional...
