It's been almost a month since i moved into my new place. Still moving bits and pieces in and sorting out where to put things. I need more bookshelves (or less books) and I'm hoping to get back into doing some woodwork and make a few more. Mum bought me a chest full of old carpentry tools for my birthday which i'm thinking of using....

Society is served best not by mules but by free men.

I needed to hear something, but I didn't know what. So I asked her, again.
"Do you think we'll ever get back together?"
"No, I don't think so," she said. "We've had our time together."

Um. Bum. Plop. Kinda bored. Once when I was a kid, i was in the car with my mum and she was driving me to school.

Located near the equator, the facility was one of the newest constructions on the planet. Its foundations began deep underground,...

I saw her tonight. We drank vodka together and smoked some smokes. It's been almost a year. Why did I ever let her go? "In the evening light the skyline is cut in two by a figure closely resembling you. Wet matches wont light. Wind shudders to a halt. Main roads are washed out.

Very enjoyable weekend. Finally met some SG people at my first SGAU hookup at the 34b club on Oxford street. Met with hellfaerie, thefuckoffkid, and Milli for dinner and had the weirdest chips I've ever seen. Tasty but about as filling as a bowl of steam. Then went to 34b and met some others i had not met before on chat - Emma, BabyFirefly, blakemitchell,...

I've decided just to post the whole first chapter in one go. If you missed the start, read my last blog.

Dawn cast its first rays onto the Bytell Private Municipal Library and the sunlight was split into miniature rainbows by the imitation glass windows. Janes woke on the lounge and turned away from the light. His head retained a dull ache. He wanted to...

Hozer has inspired me to post some of my writing. Here is a story I've just finished. It's quite long so i'll post it in parts. Not sure yet if i'll post all of it. I'll see what happens.

The Field of Glass

Janes lit a cigarette. Over in the corner the TV was on. Its sounds drifted in and out of consciousness and he...
