OK, so I’m not quite He-Man yet, but a lot of the benefits of the Sustanon testosterone injection are kicking in. There have been a few unwelcome side effects, but all have been temporary as my body adjusts to this influx of hormones. I have also had a follow up blood test, the results of which make interesting reading. First … Read More
Auschwitz
The holocaust has always held great fascination to me. Part of that is due to my name being Hebrew, but the largest reason is just the incredulity of it. Although Holocaust deniers should be branded with a Star of David on their forehead for being such fucking idiots, you can kind of understand why they might go there. It’s the … Read More
Bohemian Rhapsody Queen Movie Review (No Spoilers).
I have been a massive fan of Queen since the age of about 14. I was introduced to them by a friend and, once I got my head around what I was listening to, gradually fell madly, head-over-heels in love. And it has remained that way ever since. When Freddie died, it is true to say I was devastated. By … Read More
The DNA Results Are In!
Part of this quest of mine to work out a bit more about myself has lead me toward DNA tests. So far, I have had two. The first, from Ancestry.com is to determine what ethnicity I am. I don’t look typically anything and, not knowing anything about ancesters beyond a few generations, I thought it would be interesting. The second … Read More
Would You Clucking Believe It?
A few months ago, Vikki and I rehoused some ex-battery hens. Since their scrawny, baldy arrival, they have gotten plump and feathery. They no longer list from one tired leg to the other, they run fast, jump up on walls and generally boss the ducks around. And to think, if we hadn’t intervened, they’d be dog food by now. Remarkably, … Read More
Lacking Inspiration
As someone who might loosely be described as an “artist”, I have often found myself going through a creative vaccuum. I am in one right now, which is why I’ve not blogged in ages. There are often many causes surrounding such a funk and, on this occasion, it is that my mind is occupied elsewhere. Sometimes I find things so … Read More
To The Rescue!
We got three new additions to the menagerie today: Po, Phasma and Penguin. They are ex-battery chickens who had reached the end of their useful life so were due to become cat or dog food. Poor little buggers only stopped laying for a brief period as the moult but, any pause in egg production and they’re outta there! What a … Read More
Is It Really THAT Hard To Say Sorry?
The past couple of weeks have really put my new-found ability to practise mindfulness in frustrating situations under the ultimate stress test. For a start, there has been an ongoing issue with my car. One of those annoying intermittent faults that you cannot track down, so the only solution is to gradually replace the most likely culprits until you hit … Read More
Musical Nostalgia
I was in the car today when “Kings Of The Wild Frontier” came on the radio. Adam Ant was my first musical hero, I thought he was awesome. I guess I was about 8 when I started buying his singles. Other bands from that era that impacted me in a big way include the Human League and Frankie Goes To … Read More
The End Of (Another) Era
The Sunday just passed should be the last time that Vikki and I attend a ComicCon/similar as a seller of sweary merchandise. And it is not a moment too soon. 2008 was when we first started doing conventions. The credit crunch happened and our sales dropped. We needed more of that folding green stuff (which isn’t really green and you … Read More
