What would it feel to lack taste or smell?
Published on 2012-02-23 08:44:00
Image via Wikipedia I was recently reading about the senses (as in some sort of social history of the senses, but rather chaotic and from a certain point utterly uninteresting - I will come back to that at some point, maybe here, maybe somewhere else). There was a chapter that particularly gave me cold chills: about people losing their sense of taste (and smell with it!)... I know that having one sense blocked (that is, losing it), makes the others stronger. I would probably have a hard time - [..] > read more
Is that what an angry squirrel sounds like? Or what is (s)he saying?

Image by Gyrus via Flickr Well, I was walking around Markfield Park and at some point a sharp sound caught my ey... *cough* year. I thought it was a bird, but then I saw it was a squirrel in a tree. Can anyone tell me what kind of cry/scream is this? What was (s)he saying?

Image by jef safi (writing) via Flickr I am writing this because I have no idea of another way to do this. “This” being something of some sort useful for something. This “something” is a thing or entity that exists or not in three, four or five dimensions and may or may not be perceivable to the human eye. I don’t really know what to write, nor do I know that what I do now is more than a simple way of throwing everything I’m thinking away so that it can leave me alone and finally lo [..] > read more
Thank You Christmas!
Published on 2011-11-24 04:31:04
Image via Wikipedia I was in the tube, waiting for it to dash away and take me to all mighty Oxford Circus. I got a new book from the library, seems promising, so I started reading. Although I felt the idea of a 125 year old grandma, especially while being a slave in the South that has been gone with the wind for quite a while now, the ideas, presentation - especially the language (here I don't mean something like English, French or Vulcan, think of it more in terms of using and combining word [..] > read more
Swan Lake(...ish)
Published on 2011-11-21 17:00:03
This is a little video of not always so dignified swans (and some other birds and a train at some point) feeding, giving me nasty looks for running out of treats and generally doing their own thing, somewhere on a canal near Ferry Lane in Tottenham Hale London.

Matrix Confusion; or the Original Land Before Time Theory

Image by night86mare via FlickrOkay, this is gonna be sort of a depressing post, so, if you're feeling down, don't scroll down and read it later, when you feel better. I'll try to answer just one question that's been troubling (wo)mankind since the birth of impossible-to-answer-confusing-questions: Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

An unspeakable offense against his feline eminence...

Published with Blogger-droid v1.7.2 Even though this post may appear as anti-cat, it surely ain't! I love cats and everything related to them - well, except the killing and stuff, but they ain't some herbivorous fluffy creatures, and that kinda gives them their charm ... right? Well, anyway... What happened was this: He recently appropriated my favourite chair on the terrace as his new nap-place.

Frustration
Published on 2011-11-21 04:13:40
Image by romkey via Flickr This is my frustration speaking. It's not about love, money or social standing. It's about my old pal Windows and my new not-so-pal 7. Why would anyone be frustrated ... and angered ... about Microsoft stuff... Not a reason whatsoever... right? Well... Anyway... My issue is my compo (Acer Aspire 5738ZG with Windows 7 Home Premium) has gone berserk...

Bribespot... A new weapon against corruption?
