I’m on my seventh driving lesson. So far I’ve been concentrating on not being my usual joker self and instead attempting to be focused and…um…driven, concentrating on my lessons, thinking ahead & absorbing knowledge. Yesterday we did turns in the road. All was going fine on my first attempt, done the first bit right, . . . → Read More: Pottymouth: I’ve just read the latest issue of Love and Rockets, and yes, the conclusion of Jaime’s story ‘The Love Bunglers’ is everything that I read it was going to be. It’s a story that wants me to take out everything he’s ever done and read it all again. As the Dan Nadel and Frank . . . → Read More: The Love Bunglers: Mrs.M has rellies in France, so we popped over there for a short break a week or so back. After a couple of days, I mentioned to her that ever since we landed, I had had the music from Jean De Florette rattling around my head. “Me too,” she instantly replied. I was happy . . . → Read More: Fwance: Twenty years ago, when I was still living at home, if I got pissed off at work, when I left the office I could just put my headphones on, crank the volume up to an earsplitting level, and not worry about things until the next time that I was in. Today, I’ve got a . . . → Read More: Headspace: So, several years ago (5) I said this : So I came to the conclusion that maybe I should lay off of bread.

I wonder what I could get… Will it be the five disc version of The Beach Boys ‘Smile’ – a bargain at £124. What about the remastered versions of the ‘This Mortal Coil‘ albums – . . . → Read More: Christmas: I’m a nimby. So sue me. Less than a mile from where I live, there’s a greenfield site. It’s mainly used at the minute as farmland, but for the past few years, some developers have been trying to get planning approval to build more than a 1000 houses there. The land is on the . . . → Read More: Nimby: At the beginning of the week, when the NOTW phone hacking story started to go mental, I said to Mrs. M how interesting it was that it was happening this week, of all weeks. The Guardian is hardly a disinterested observer in the attempts by NI to take over BSkyB, and that process has . . . → Read More: Hacks Hacking: As I’m waiting for Buffalo Tom to take the stage at Dingwalls, I scan the check shirts around me and notice that, even allowing for indie guitars being the preserve of the male enthusiast, tonight’s gig seems a lot more male than any gig I can remember. It’s so noticeable that the first thing . . . → Read More: Buffalo Tom – Camden Dingwalls (10/03/2011) |
