What Men Do When They

What Men Do When They Are Bored: When men are bored they do this. When men have a spare ten minutes they do this. When men are not stressed, or in a public place or have bigger things on their mind they do this. And they mostly do it when those things are going on as well. Once I didn’t do this for over a week, and I got all aggressive and macho. It was weird, but cool. I’d do it again if I could be bothered. Some men write weird shit about other weird shit that makes other men (ostensibly) do it. Some men don’t. Some men don’t really mention it that much, but then again some of them are having too much fun at the moment for it to be strictly necessary. Some men frankly don’t bear thinking about – particularly when they’re doing it – but I’m too nice to talk about them in a public place (you know who you are). You know occasionally you have to wonder if the people you used to go out with think about you when they’re doing it. Or maybe that’s just me. I sometimes wonder if even really major web celebrities do it? I would think that they do. I mean, they’re geeks right? I hear chicks do it too, but I think they have different techniques. (You know, this would be funnier if this was about hand-coding HTML or something, but I’m afraid it’s not. I really am that cheap. Link via Prol.]

Excerpts from a Subterranean Diary:

Excerpts from a Subterranean Diary: I had this particularly weird night last night. I came home exhausted from
seeing Meg and Davo, and slumped in front of my computer to check my e-mail. Ten
minutes later I turn around to look at my bed. It kind of glares at me. Around two in the
morning I give up and lie awake in bed. Four-thirty AM I’m still awake, sweating and uncomfortable.

Advert: One man does not

Advert: One man does not need two computers (unless of course one is a Titanium Powerbook). I have two computers. So I’m selling one. Now. I went into town today and got a frankly laughable offer (£100) for the whole package, so I’m opening this up to the floor. Does anyone want to buy this complete set-up for a ludicrously small amount? Either to cannibalise or use around the house. It’s not really built for games, but it works perfectly well. Conditions: You can buy any part or all of it, but you have to come and collect it from Maida Vale and pay in cash – and SOON. I’ll even autograph it if you want me to…

Placing my transparent mask upon

Placing my transparent mask upon my upturned welcoming face, I feel its cool edges slide down my cheek, its base lightly touching my neck. Behind this mask I am safe, behind this mask I am alone. I am cool, my mind serene and clear. Sacrificing all my self to another’s voice I feel my lungs swell and lift, my ribs arise with ceremonial pomp, my eyes lift, plastic-coated, to the sky. And from my gut it comes, an explosion of light, filling my vision, transforming the world in an instant of nuclear light; total personality destruction. And born from the awesome light, new features appear, slowly edges solidify; colour, texture and shadow condense. My nose pricks with new sensation – and as I feel my plastic mouth open, with my last inscribing thought, I know that there will now be sound.
