My head has started to go down, so now that I look a lot less like a Conehead and my skull is no longer in danger of literally popping, I have been able to rejoin polite society. I ventured forth to the library today. It was a pretty quiet day, but I helped a few…

Greetings from the edge, The second head that started to sprout about a week ago persists; I’m booked in for an MIR on Friday the 24th. No signs yet of any psychic abilities or superpowers, unless you count a persistent mild headache and slight nausea as superpowers. I get the feeling that if it gets…

Greetings from the edge, It would seem that I have a second head growing. I spent most of Friday baffling the very best medical minds that Basildon has to offer, although on the upside, during my 14-hour stay in Basildon Hospital’s Casualty/A&E- that’s ER to all my American readers- I read a shitload of The…

Greetings from the edge, I have been the very busiest of busy bees this week.

If there’s enough time left in the day, I’ll play a horror TTRPG or read a horror comic too. The reason I bring this up is simple: I know…

Greetings from the furnace, The hottest place in the solar system is not, as you might have understandably believed, Venus, which, although further from the Sun than Mercury, is so unspeakably hot that you can melt lead on its surface. No, the hottest place in the known solar system is in fact a broom cupboard…

Greetings from the edge, In the words of Joan Jett, when she was still ripping it up with the Blackhearts, I Love Rock ‘ n ‘ Roll. I was born at exactly the right time to have the very best music assail my ears and permanently rewrite my eager brain, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Nirvana, Guns…

Greetings from the edge, I have decided to take a week (and a bit) off from blogging every day. I’m still working out what I want to do with the site in general and the blog section in particular. I’ll still be working on articles and content, but I won’t be posting daily updates for…
