“Goodbye, Playtime” | A POV on The Metaverse from someone who plays games

Featured

Story Time When I was a kid, I couldn’t sleep one evening and started taking apart my Spider-Man styled toy convertible sports car. (Why would he need one? I don’t know!). I also started tinkering with another model sports car I got as a hand-me-down. I found some hobbyist screwdrivers from a little drawer I … Continue reading “Goodbye, Playtime” | A POV on The Metaverse from someone who plays games →

Mission Failed, We’ll Get ‘Em Next Time | On failure, rejection etc.

Featured

25.09.20 The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. Okay, now I just looked up at the screen to see if I spelled that correctly. Currently I am typing this out on my laptop whilst lying down on my bed and staring into the ceiling. It isn’t just to practice my blind typing, of … Continue reading Mission Failed, We’ll Get ‘Em Next Time | On failure, rejection etc. →

Inside My Box | Words on 67 film tickets from the past 8 years

Please do not feel obligated to read all of this. Writing this was mainly a reminiscence exercise for me. I do hope however that I have formatted it in such a way that you can skip down to a certain film title that you are curious to hear more from me on. Hopefully you’re also … Continue reading Inside My Box | Words on 67 film tickets from the past 8 years →

‘Lips that touch liquor’ | Some jumbled up thoughts on my relationship on alcohol

Happy new year! This piece would have been much more relevant if I had finished writing it when I actually started, but here I am 9 months later finally wrapping it up. If the length of time it’s taken for me to finish it is any indication of how much I think about this subject … Continue reading ‘Lips that touch liquor’ | Some jumbled up thoughts on my relationship on alcohol →

“Guns. Lots of guns.” | Pondering on our unhealthy obsession with firearms and ‘tacti-cool’

Killing Game I’ve been playing an awful lot of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) recently and I’ve been enjoying it (as much as the skill-based matchmaking allows me to). I have come to realise that I am not very good at the game. I keep coming back to get a quick fix of satisfaction … Continue reading “Guns.

Thanks Cinco! | My favourite Cinco adverts from Tim and Eric’s Awesome Show, Great Job!

My friend George first introduced me to Tim and Eric circa 2009 after he liked a clip of Richard Dunn's smile being stretched to a horrific extent on Facebook. Somehow this ended up on my newsfeed and I couldn't stop laughing at it. Since then I've always found myself popping back to the Tim and … Continue reading Thanks Cinco! | My favourite Cinco adverts from Tim and Eric’s Awesome Show, Great Job! →

A Simple Misunderstanding | My ‘Interpretive Gap’ in Radiohead, Shakespeare and Just About Everything Else

I mumble a lot in conversation. It's super frustrating because it takes a fair bit of effort for other people to understand me speaking naturally - especially when it comes to work or times when I need to be super clear super-fast. I really have been trying to avoid it recently but doing so comes … Continue reading A Simple Misunderstanding | My ‘Interpretive Gap’ in Radiohead, Shakespeare and Just About Everything Else →

Tick Tock | Killing time with Christian Marclay’s ‘The Clock’

I started writing this around January, but there's so much to write about that I didn't get around to finishing it until now. Let's go! *** I haven't been feeling too well recently. Nothing serious! I've just been a bit sniffly this week. I can probably tell you the reason why - sleep deprivation. Specifically, … Continue reading Tick Tock | Killing time with Christian Marclay’s ‘The Clock’ →
