I've recently been through somewhat of a malaise. Perhaps from my own doing, perhaps from circumstances, certainly from a combination of the two. My usual routine came unbinded and I've been slightly at odds with myself and what I do minute -to-minute. Which is quite an uncomfortable experience. Some of this has been brought on … Continue reading Unbecoming a sad-sack

New Perspective Required. Apply within.
I recently attended the Psychedelics for Psychology lecture at the UCL. The evening consisted of talks from some of the new pioneers in Psychedelic research in the field of Psychology. I was attending in a non-student, non-academic, why-are-you-here-actually? capacity which put me initially on edge. It is a long time since my student days, days which were … Continue reading New Perspective Required. Apply within.
Company man
What if Sisyphus had company? Company he that he could hardly bear and that opted to listen to Usher, Craig David and Katy Perry.

I look across to glance at what she is reading or watching, … Continue reading Critique: A Critique

It was delightfully funny, perhaps mainly as I watched it with my Dad … Continue reading Political Cycle Setting 2 – Extra dirty, Double stains. Broken Machine.
Brexit on your chin
This is a quick word of warning to my Fellow Scots regarding the recent Brexit vote. It may be of some interest to bystanders who are unaffected (?). I voted Yes and Remain. To the No voters who voted Remain, this is how it feels to have brexit on your chin. Scotland needs to think … Continue reading Brexit on your chin
Ramifications of a failing memory
Initially, as I sat down to write this, I was aiming to examine the Sports Direct mug. However, a quick Google search revealed that this idea may be plagiarized. Which in turn made me wonder if I had read this and forgotten, or if my mind is slowly turning to soup. The points I wanted … Continue reading Ramifications of a failing memory
