My phone just tried to change constipation to conscription and that would be a weird story. I don’t understand why people like Amazon. Their website doesn’t even work. I was looking at a product and changed the settings to “ship to Australia” and it still showed me things I couldn’t even fucking buy because […]

Book Review: On Writing by Charles Bukowski
On Writing was a book I accidentally came across in a library catalogue and deliberately got out on loan. On Writing by Charles Bukowski I loved this book. It talked about writing however you want. Including mentions of being an author who doesn’t care about spelling. I admire the pre-internet ability to […]
It Has All Been Done

Ten Billion Butterflies of the Apocalypse
I legally left the house yesterday to go buy (legal) drugs. Ten Billion Butterflies of the Apocalypse I don’t have a store I go to – for anything. I go to wherever is convenient to where I am when I remember I need or want something. Right now I might leave the […]
