So, I’ve managed to clock up a respectable 6 weeks since my last blog post. Tremendous. I recall making a similar statement when I started my previous job all those moons ago, but the fact remains that unless you have one of those new-fangled multi-meeja jobs that everyone keeps going on about, you’re just not [...]

Cheer Up, (Neon) Goth
Unable to deal with the claustrophobic politics of countryside living for more than four days at a time (See blog post entitled The Claustrophobic Politics of Countryside Living, coming soon), I fled back to Cardiff last weekend with the view to heading to Bristol to see the much acclaimed Banksy exhibition.
Unfortunately, the queues were so [...]

Remember the Shire, Mr Frodo?
The unthinkable is happening. I’m moving back to my parents’ house.
Thanks to a ‘clerical error’ by my housemate, it turns out that we don’t have the contract on our lovely house until the end of August. We, in fact, have to be out of here this weekend. And since I’m still unemployed and still unable [...]

Cowboy, ilk PDF you later!
A couple of weeks ago I got a new phone. It’s touch screen. Swish, I know. So enamoured was I with its sleek body and technological prowess that I managed to throw it on the floor as soon as I got it out of the box. Still, unless that’s somehow fried its insides, I doubt [...]

The Comeback Kids Aren’t Alright
If the continual cycles of bleeptro adorning every media facet of NME are anything to go by, it would seem that it doesn’t really take that much effort to create a decent track these days (check this out for hours of endless fun). Gone are the days when bands were famed for their instrumental talent [...]

You’re Application Has Been Unsucessful
So, I’m still in the market for a job. Even though some places are reporting signs of a break in the clouds, jobs for my lowly level remain few and far between, and spending hour upon hour trawling internet job ads and crafting covering letters – only for them to be skim-read and disregarded – [...]

Mwah, Darling!
Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending my cousin’s wedding. I imagine that for a lot of people a family wedding would bring about sighs and apprehension, but as my family is so small this was a pretty big deal for us, and I was really looking forward to it. Indeed, I had a [...]

On the Money Train
This probably won’t come as a massive surprise to anyone who regularly uses this country’s glorious rail network, but if you’re planning on going cross-country it really does pay to do your research.
I’m trying to get to Horsham next week (from Cardiff), and was originally given a return ticket price of £46.60 (with, God [...]

OMG Omegle
In case you’re not familiar with this new phenomenon, Omegle, the brain child of a gormless looking American teenager, is a site that connects you instantly with a stranger from anywhere in the world. I suppose the objective is to put random people together for engaging and stimulating chat, and to be fair, I’ve had [...]

Spiritual Sausages
I haven’t written a blog for four months. FOUR. Which is shameful, especially as nearly every day something happens whereby I end up so disgruntled or awed that I mentally declare that I’ll go home and write a blog about it. But here we are. As a friend of mine commented a while back, now [...]
