Stay out super late tonight picking apples making pies put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us we’re half awake in a fake empire Lost somewhere in memory at the moment, recalling the end of last year when I found myself living back in college, was a strange feeling of having [...]

The evening draws in toward midnight and the air outside is still, in the background the distant sound of traffic and the occasional siren’s wail; the year has come to an end. Tired and drained from another day of trying to piece this sorry place back together I need a shower and a shave but [...]

Okay so I think I might have briefly lost it there, hitting the bottle probably didn’t help but I think I’m back to reality again. Still it was a bit different being Alexander the Great for a short while though I should probably stop reading that Peter Green book. So here we are halfway through [...]

Insanity? Pah that’s for mere mortals and we all know that I am Alexander, son of Ammon and destined ruler of all of Asia so don’t you dare accuse me of befuddled thinking for I am far beyond such fleshly trivialities. Sure I’m as paranoid as they come and yes I’ll probably die young just as [...]

I’m not going mad that much is clear, I’m just incredibly fed up. So fed up that I can’t even find the energy to type up this stupid daily report on the state of my mind in these last, wretched days of Cowley. One thing I have learnt over the past 24 hours is that watching [...]

What conclusions can be drawn from this picture showing the percentage of people in European countries who answered ‘yes’ to the question ‘do you believe God exists?’ That’s right, people who live in the sea don’t believe in God.

To be perfectly honest I seem to have quite a firm grip on reality at the moment which perhaps has something to do with having gotten out of the house and mingled with other human beings including giving an elderly couple a unofficial tour of the college chapel, managing to actually get a refund out [...]

If anything the world feels a little more real than it has done for the past couple of weeks, mainly because there appear to be three sets of hammers banging away in the vicinity of the house, one next door, one directly behind us, one a little further away. That seems to be a Cowley [...]

Why would blackmail and entrapment have to be linked to toast toppings? Couldn’t it be a steak and ale pie trap? Or maybe a hog roast trap? I mean I like honey but it’s not enough to make me compromise my personal safety, if it were fried squid or prawns then that’d be a different [...]

Okay I’ve got things a little more in perspective now but that still doesn’t get round the rather salient fact that I’m beginning to go slightly stir crazy, hopefully this will change before I’m reduced to a gibbering wreck (some might ask if that wouldn’t be something of an improvement) but odds are that it’s [...]
