How do I put an ask box on my Tumblr?
I mean, loathe though I am to find out either: a) What the internet wants to ask me  (I have been on the internet for like a million years and it’s hard to say whether the first thing will be about my nipples or ‘OH MY FUCKING GOD WHY DO YOU THINK PARAMORE ARE EMO??????!’) b) that the internet doesn’t want to ask me anything (I mean, I have dedicated like a million...

"Regeneration"
Several years ago, when I worked for an independent bookselling chain based in London, I realised some sort of kerfuffle was going on between a customer and one of the Christmas temps. Hurrying over, I discovered it was because the customer felt the temp should serve him a book during the hour the shopping centre the store was located in forced us to open for ‘browsing’ before Sunday...

Beards, tears, bears, tarts; a gross post about...
I am a bearded lady. “Whoa,” you say, “I have met you recently and you didn’t exactly look like Gandalf” -that, my chums, is because I have a rigourous bi-weekly de-bearding regime. It goes ‘Step One: shave off my beard,’ then ‘Step Two: apply foundation to hide five-o’clock shadow until next de-bearding.’ Other techniques I have tried...

Blue Lines Revisited: 'writing about pop should... →
tomewing: This is SUCH a chimera, and I’m not just saying that because I’ve never managed it. It’s a cry which goes up vs boring writing sometimes but it’s a standard nothing else I can think of gets held to. Writing about film should feel like a film, writing about sports should feel like sports, writing… I agree with Tom here. I think that a certain aesthetic can embue a lot of...

How did Gotye go from the beautiful, Parisian...
SERIOUSLY? I’ve spent all morning listening to Somebody That I Used To Know again and again on Spotify because it’s got some of those 60s swirls and a shuffling funk to it that I find almost irresistable and there’s the bit where Kimbra suddenly opens her throat to sing the hung up on somebody that you used to know part of her final line. Proper ‘lying on your bed staring...

What I personally talk about when I talk about...
I’m not sure why it’s suddenly occurred to me to write this. Probably something to do with the fact I am meant to be doing the accounts. I’m reading Running With The Kenyans at the minute, which is about Adharanand Finn’s time training with the world’s most elite runners. I’m not very far through it, faintly ironically because I keep running to work and so...

This was signed by a woman. -it’s not “the patriarchy,” that’s a lazy word for “the man” when someone can’t be bothered to interrogate a situation -this is part of sweeping legislature being snuck through across the US against not just women but a nebulous class of people deemed to be “unrespectable” (the recent revocation of the right to...

Expansion pack 'The Floor' released May 2012
You enter the club and head to the floor, roll a 3 or higher to light a fire and make it hot (proceed to 3 or if roll too low, 2) The club can’t even handle you. You see them watching you, roll a 6 to go all out and proceed to 7. Decide whether to take pictures or shots by rolling two dice; if the total adds up to 7 then it’s shots and straight to 5. If it doesn’t add up to 7...

The Vids Are Alright: TVAA Awards 2011 →
thevidsarealright: It’s that time of year again! The 2011 TVAA awards may be somewhat uncomprehensive this year due to me having a job that requires some actual brainpower and thus leaving scant time/energy for Youtube catchup sessions. However I have managed to think up some new categories to make up for this! … Kat gives 2011’s music videos the analysis they deserve.

Blue Lines Revisited: A MUSIC WEBSITE HAS CHOSEN... →
tomewing: It’s OK, don’t worry. I know it seems difficult to understand right now, but the first thing you need to realise is that what you’re feeling is normal. A lot of people are going through the same process you are. What’s more, a lot of people have gone through it before and come out OK. Music… This is pertinent not only to End of Year Lists but to every review ever put on the...

Christmas is for giving
a million middle fingers to Amazon’s Department of Promotions and Pantomime Villainy- To get the $5 discount, you’re supposed to use Amazon’s “Price Check” iPhone and Android app to scan in the bar code of an item and then indicate what price the item is being sold at. This gives Amazon valuable intelligence on how various retailers are pricing various items....
