dwelling in the AM

I won't make a habit of splurging the contents of Facebook onto the blog too often but as far as rules for improving the world go this one's a corker. Which is to say it's a rule that should be observed at all times in all circumstances in every way possible. At the very least can we try it on for size for 5 minutes. A better world for 5 minutes can we try that?


I love street art me. In my head, where I imagine myself to have greater artistic skills than I actually possess (that is, any at all) I fancy myself to be a devil may care street artist living on the fringes and dwelling in the early AM finding new things to make a mark on. Little marks here and there disrupting the routine and the expected.

Then I realise I'm drinking lemon green tea late on a Monday night watching prerecorded Sherlock whilst getting high on scented candles because I'm none of the above. Truly my head's an odd place.

Once upon a time in the dark ages, in the long ago, in the age before the iPhone and reliable high speed broadband there was the humble video game. You would play it, it would last for a finite length of time and then it would end. You'd move on and play another game, maybe read a book, watch a film, join a ukulele band. You'd cast that game into the realm of memories past, enriched by the experience in some way but no longer actively partaking of it. Now that time never ended as such, those games are still very much around but in the here and now they have been eclipsed somewhat by something else altogether.

anime hair and the end of days

I've just completed a game that, in normal circumstances at least, wouldn't generally be my cup of tea. A game remastered and released in 2021 but which originally arrived in 2010 in a somewhat 'adjusted' manner shall we say?. A game I meant to get around to back then but never did and now that I have finally gotten around to both playing and completing it, I'm not entirely sure if I liked it or not. That game is Nier Replicant or to give it it's full re-released title:  Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139... because clearly the game alone wasn't baffling enough....

blood, magic and seawater...

Haven't done a book review for the blog in a while, not since the dark days of 2022 and that William Gibson trilogy I endured. Instead here's some assorted thoughts on a book I just finished, 1987's On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers. Expanded and revised from the review I posted recently on Amazon and Goodreads, all ill-judged opinions are my own. The short version: It's a rollicking yarn full of pirates, ghouls, dark magic and bloodshed, I really enjoyed it, thanks for coming! Oh you want the longer one do you?
