Check this video out I would embed it but I can’t hack the media player to not autoplay without removing the copyright information and links and stuff which would be naughty…. The video is an awesome sketch by Beardyman who is the 2006 UK champion beatboxer, think Larvell Jones from Police academy, but with considerably...
Not an innuendo or cunning pun for once, just something I have recently started really enjoying and that I will have to cut out when it becomes time to actually stop being fat. I am also very excited about having found a source of cheap marmalade, I am very easily pleased….
On Friday I went out with my friend Ollie to the opening of a new bar in Roppongi, it was surprisingly nice though I’m sure within a month it will have degenerated to the same level as most of the other bars in the area, hopefully not though…. Ollie was in Japan for a year...
I’m almost 3 weeks into the current plan to “get things done”, for those of you not familiar with the jargon (and I’m only starting to learn it), it’s the part of the Venn diagram where self help overlaps with organiser. The official system is described in great detail in the book by David Allen...
So I went back to training for pretty much the first time in 6 weeks. It was good to get back on the mats, it’s hard to explain but it is one of the few times when I truly relax, when my mind isn’t constantly churning over ideas, thoughts and worries, probably the only other...
Today I had the day off work and oviously achieved nothing aside from running a couple of errands and taking a dremel tool to my new card case… I am however going to the gym in a moment and am feeling a great deal of restedness…
This is absolutely the best thing I’ve seen on You-Tube in a very very long time indeed…. Pendleton Ward, you truly are the man of the day…
Went to the doctors today to find out what was up with my knee. He confirmed that I did indeed have a meniscus tear, but that it was not serious and he was confident it would heal on it’s own. He did however give me a lubricating injection into the joint, apparently it is some...
Today my alarm clock suffered a technical failure. I really rely on my alarm at the moment as my sleep patterns are even more skewed than usual due to not training. As a result instead of waking at 7:00 I woke at nearer 10:30, with a 20 minute walk to school this lead to me...
This band from Brazil are doing things for me, they remind me of all those great bands who who I’d see play at “trash”, but only better. They firmly came out of the party, grungy punk school as peaches with a smattering of Soulwax flavourings. Definitely music to get drunk to in preparation for a...
I kept this quiet, but the mission for 2007 is to have a fight, probably only amateur, but I’m definitely going to do it. I’ve always put it off, saying things like “next year we’ll really make the effort”, “I need time to get in shape” and other even less sensible excuses. In reality I...
The RSS feeds seem to have died a death, I’m not sure why yet though I will try to get them back up ASAP… Everything is back to normal, this is what happens when your website is held together by bits of sticky tape and string…
I was once upon a time the owner of an Iriver H340, we agreed to run rockbox and not talk about the official firmware, and everyone was happy. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, or in my case be lost….Obvious Iriver in their infintie wisdom discontinued the H340 leaving me unable to...
Today’s artistic escapade took me to Harajuku to try and see the new “Design Festa” exhibition. This collective project has opened a gallery space in a converted low rise apartment building. Here they are hosting a rolling programme of artists as well as providing low cost hanging space for up and coming artists, distribution for...
Today I went to visit the new exhibition by Akira Tomii. The exhibit was being held in a gallery which I had never visited before and obviously I got quite lost, yet eventually I found it, with a tiny unmarked door with curious paper shapes stuck to the glass of the window. I climbed the...
