We go back to the future!
Not only am I a lover of automobiles, I’m also a quite fanatic tech-lover. Technology and gadgets are something that make me itch with curiosity and I think it would be awesome to live to be 400 years old – just to see what new technologies will emerge. Although many people call me an Apple [...]
Car junkie
I love cars. I can’t help it. Since the day I got my driver’s license I’ve either had nearly unlimited access to a car or had my own. Ironically, I’ve always lived in regions with very good public transportation and I’ve really not needed a car. So, as of Friday I don’t have my car [...]
Spy jobs
In a moment of idle banter with Markus recently the new Bond film came up. We agreed it will, in all likelihood, both blow and suck. However this did lead us into a conversation about spies. He remarked that one as short as I wouldn’t pass muster. In a roundabout fashion I retorted that one [...]
Bad Apple
Only a couple of points to mention quickly (I’ve been pretty slack about writing for the last couple of weeks but I have my reasons) The first point is for those of you who haven’t come across him before, you should religiously follow the writings of a certain Dr. Ben Goldacre (self-described serious fuck-off academic [...]
Pain
It’s that time of year – much like the negative image of a dog I tend to grow my hair in the summer and shed it in the winter. There is method behind this madness and it comes down to one simple fact, and one that underpins so much of male dress sense (at least where [...]
Activism, action and you.
Afternoon all, as Markus mentioned I have indeed been spending every available minute in the forest since the sun came out in May. It’s pretty much gone again now though so all things being well, I will become semi-regular once again. I’ve just had a few friends staying with me for the last couple of [...]
A few words about Markus
What ho! Just a quicky to assuage my guilt at failing to deliver a speech at Markus’ wedding last weekend (which was splendid btw) To give the backstory I agreed a while ago to say a few words but I have a history with weddings. Despite generally being one of the best public speakers in [...]
Quasi-ritualistic clutching at ethereal validation
Why do we constantly seek context? Whenever I sit to compose myself and let spill a little of my essence (textually speaking) I always find myself beginning “I write this…” or “I’m sitting here…” I suppose it comes from reading/seeing/listening to too many travelogues – I have a kind of literary dysfunction – I tend [...]
Mind Itch Recipe Club: Lentil Bolognese
Since moving to Latvia I have reluctantly begun to eat meat again – my diatribe concerning lifestyle choices in Latvia is coming soon but this is neither the time nor the place. Suffice to say, when I cook, I still cook veggie every time. This is an amazing dish – incredibly versatile, cheap, quick and [...]
Identity
Some of you might already know that I’m getting married in the end of July, a few of you have even been invited to participate amongst the horde of thousands of guests. Unlike Benesek, I’ve never had a unique name. I’ve never actually even used my first name anywhere, since everybody has been using my [...]
