Something lost behind the Ranges

Sunday, April 22nd, 2012

I walk in through the entrance and I know this is the first time I’ve ever set foot in the tiny ruin, but I have also always been here. The stone is worn away with time but you can still trace the line of  florishes and patterns in the masonry. Along the edge of a [...]

A plane from Earth

Thursday, November 24th, 2011

You could get this plane to a planet near the earth, about as far as the moon looks. Just above the cloud line but out of our atmosphere. When I visted there was a building that supported human needs in air and gravity. you could go to a viewing room which had a giant window [...]

god and the devil are raging inside me

Thursday, October 6th, 2011

I find myself mentally at a permanent cross road, my thoughts fall like regimented rain. One voice tells me its scared, another tells it to shut up, one is calling my laptop a fucking whore, somewhere something cries for my mother,  a permanent whine about things not being right, a memory sparks nostalgia, hysteria asks for oblivion, a soft cooing rings out [...]

Inlè-rah

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

I used to think I was an urban creature. I enjoyed the complexity of a city and wanted to crawl the streets as a feral fox drinking in all the memories and crass idiosyncrasies of the people who haunted bars and kept bottom draws. I still held a great fear of the sublime and nature was cold and hollow. [...]

From beasts we scorn as soulless

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

Topeng monyet, or masked monkey. Monkeys in Indonesia are trained by street performers to mimic human activity’s (pushing a pram, playing a guitar) with a dolls head mask. Their human handlers go from village to village performing with the monkeys to make money, sometimes as their soul source of income. The training can be intense and torturous, one method [...]

Quis hic locus? quae regio? quae mundi plaga?

Uzamaki slug sex. The most beautiful and disgusting thing I’ve ever seen Its a slow chilling extraterrestrial dance,  the translucent flower that’s created is more like something out of a science fiction film then slug sex organs. I think of all the bizarre mating rituals this is my favourite. Currently residing with it in the animal sex [...]

The sad sad tale of Kakuna

Friday, April 8th, 2011

As me and my girlfriend have a lot of reptiles we also have a lot of bugs to feed them. One species are hormone enhanced (to make them grow larger) mealworms which look like this- I didnt really know too much about mealworms and was always a bit confused when we found these weird pupa [...]

The Platypus

Friday, March 11th, 2011

Many of you will know what a duck billed platypus is and how it is one of the oddest looking creatures. Their oddities surpass their looks though which is something I had no idea of until recently when my friend  Ruby wolfe told me. First off I’d like to say that I think the platypus is ADORABLE, as in [...]

Crying with cockroaches and the dead things of Fife

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

I went away for a week with my dad, sister and her boyfriend to stay on a beach in Scotland. It was a walk lots, drink and eat lots kind of lazy get away. We went to Edinburgh one day where I met the amazing hand poke tattoo artist Sakura for a palm tattoo. The original design was going to be [...]

Fauna that acts like flora and flora that acts like fauna

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

I have a lot to hate about facebook but I also have a lot to thank for it, mainly the fantastic friends I have on there that show me natural delights (thank you Rin and Briony!) Elysia chlorotica is a type of sea slug (sea slug ♥) that has some rather amazing properties It  feeds [...]
