He’s Coming Home; He’s Coming Home….
February 25, 2005 | Comments Off
Yes, I’m now mere hours from getting onto a flight and going back to David and Gramsci. I’ve only been gone for a ten nights (eleven by the time I get home), but it feels like much longer. And I’ve been away so much lately that I need to be back in connection […]

More Religion
February 25, 2005 | Comments Off
The previously-mentioned Pope story triggered quite a heated discussion over on Millarworld, which was eventually closed and partially migrated to a new discussion about the increasing rift in the Anglican Church over homosexuality.
Now you all know that I’m fairly clear in my lack of interest in religion for myself, so I’m not actually affected […]

“An Ideology Of *What*”???
February 23, 2005 | Comments Off
So there’s this doddering old fool right?
You know the type - thinks he knows everything; thinks he’s got a god-given right to tell the world what they’re doing right and wrong and what they ought to think, but doesn’t appear to have done any original thinking himself since middle age - sorry, I mean ’since […]

The Formative Weeks

David’s sent me a couple of photos of Gramsci, and I’m feeling all miserable now because he’s growing really quickly and I’m missing it….
Gah! I say Gah!

Setting The Date

Look at this!
Gay civil unions can start being registered in the UK from early December this year, so the first actual ceremonies can take place before Christmas.
Hmmm. Better start looking at venues.

To Shuffle, Or To Shuffle Not

You know, The Global iPod Shuffle Shortage™ would be a damn site easier to accept if it wasn’t for the fact that Apple appear to be mocking us all over it.
Here in San Francisco, there are posters for the damn’ thing *everywhere*, and the Apple Store (’Flagship’ by the way) has a huge window display […]

Astonishing
February 19, 2005 | Comments Off
Given that I’m in town for WonderCon, I decided to head along, check out the comics, check out the panels. It’s my first American convention, and even though it’s not one of the really big ones, it’s bigger by far than any UK one I’ve been to. Somehow I wasn’t prepared for the […]

A ‘What’ Bar Tour?
February 19, 2005 | Comments Off
I’ve been remiss in my previous trips here as I haven’t mentioned The Isotope before. One of the coolest comic stores I’ve ever visited, run in the style that all should be - somewhere that you go because you love comics and want to take time talking about them with people who know what […]

The Madness Of Moments
February 18, 2005 | Comments Off
Last night I had quite a late one, helping someone celebrate her birthday, and in typical ‘a bit drunk’ style, the things that were already bothering me were magnified out of all proportion.
The key thing among these was how much I’m missing David. So getting back to the hotel at about 1.30am, I got […]

Bite-Size Catch Up Blogging 8: The Forest Of Death
February 16, 2005 | 1 Comment
As part of my ongoing effort to blog all the things I wanted to blog during that blank period a few weeks back, I offer a couple more.
During our weekend in Suffolk, David and I parked alongside a wood and set off down a well-trodden path. We soon saw some yelping Hoorays coming the […]
