The Zombie Wears Vintage

Inspired by Kate at All Five Horizons, and more than slightly worried about the fact I am so stressed and tired at the moment that I never get round to blogging, I decided to see what delightful tunes shuffle sent my way. It seemed a blog type even tired lazy me could handle. It’s like [...]

This is your chance. The chance you’ve always dreamt of. The chance to become a cartoon. Granted, not an animated cartoon, but who needs animation when you have copious glitter and magic instead?! This is one of those items of clothes that shouts to be worn. I can’t afford it… but maybe you can?

I enjoy a bit of gourmet food every now and then. Small portions, unusual flavours – it tends to be an experience, and for that I enjoy it. However, if I’m honest I get more pleasure from the good-food-for-good-food’s-sake type of restaurant – the place where the ambiance is great, the people nice, and the [...]

What a wonderful weekend. Truly wonderful. This was always going to be one of those weekends where you got a lot done. I always find that when you have an earlyish start (despite the trials and tribulations of dragging your sorry body out of bed) you actually end up having really enjoyable days because so much fits [...]

I’m not really a radio person. I have a list of digital radio stations I want to start listening to, and I often enjoy a bit of cheesy 80′s music on local stations, but when it comes to “popular” radio, I admit to being a grumpy bastard. I just wish the idiots would shut up, most of [...]

I’ve always liked Threadless. First off, they support up and coming designers, which just gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling. Secondly, they are reasonably priced, and even sometimes do free delivery, worldwide. Thirdly, they feature AWESOME designs – really left-field creative designs that more often than not are witty, pretty and downright brilliant. So, I thought [...]

Well what a wonderful weekend away. I’ve been stressed recently, in case y’all couldn’t tell, and so a chance to get away from the mania of work and home, away from the complete bombsite that is my bedroom, was simply to be jumped at. And so it was that on Saturday morning we jumped in the car for the [...]

Perhaps the strangest blog post I’ve written in a while – but how cool is this?! I found this nearly spherical egg last week, and then ran around the house excitedly showing everyone I could and exclaiming loudly about it (with rising levels of empathy and pity for the poor fowl that had the misfortune of squeezing this beauty out). Then I [...]

Ok, so Friday afternoon soft porn probably won’t be a recurring feature. However, having actually walked straight into oncoming (pedestrian) traffic in Leamington the other weekend thanks to certain 6 foot high black and white images of a certain toned ex-footballer’s physique, I had to share my letchery. Enjoy (it looks good in full screen [...]

Last night, I hated myself. Real, honest-to-goodness, self-loathing. I hated the pudginess of my body, the different shape that has developed over the past few months. I hated my skin, with the spots always lurking beneath the surface, with the bumpy scar-ridden pattern that is becoming all too familiar. I hated every single centimetre of myself, with a hot angry feeling [...]
