21 (continued)

By Caleb | December 21, 2006

Continuing a list of 21 things that I’m thankful for… 14. Doctor WhoI’ve waxed lyrical about Doctor Who before, and few things have shaped my imagination more. I love the collision of the fantastic and the everyday, the triumphs of ambition over budget (and occasional endearing defeats!), the sense of humour and optimism in the […]

Bargain!

By Caleb | October 19, 2006

A few months ago, I noticed something of a bargain on Amazon.com: volume one of Absolute Sandman, collecting issues one to twenty of Neil Gaiman’s weird and wonderful The Sandman comic series in a very snazzy deluxe edition. When I say “comic”, this isn’t just some Beano effort, or well-worn tale of some superhero in […]

My birthday party

By Caleb | November 26, 2005

Favourite CardsLive your dreams!(except for the one where you’re being eaten by the giant spider)Claire and Philip Fayers gave me this card, which I particularly enjoy. The cartoon picture of the spider baring its teeth is particularly cute and amusing – I’ll have to upload a picture of it. (A picture of a fort with […]

Feeling considerably better today. Yesterday evening I wrote a bit of explanation about my earlier post… I scared myself today. While in the library this morning, I had a look at abook. I don’t remember the title, but it caught my eye because it was about oneof the many things that are wrong in this […]

Just nipped into the library while on my lunch break from working at Kwik Save. Just a few random points: Next week I’m off to the FIEC Conference at Pwllheli. I’ll be seeing some Contagiousites and other friends there, so I’m looking forward to that! Rich is also coming to stay, so it’ll be nice […]

Lazy day

By Caleb | March 21, 2005

“It’s not a proper weekend unless you spend your time doing something totally pointless” said Calvin (the cartoon character accompanied by his toy tiger Hobbes, not the theologian, that is). While I don’t entirely agree, there is a particular pleasure to just doing nothing much. After a hectic few weeks rushing around and writing essays […]

The dreaded lurgy

By Caleb | March 15, 2005

Unfortunately, I’ve been ill with a rather nasty bug of some description. I’ve had it since Saturday, but it was yesterday that it really hit me. I tried to keep going with the day as normal, but it wasn’t a good idea and after a bit I gave in and took myself to bed. It’s […]

Adventures in London

By Caleb | March 7, 2005

This morning I got up in London, and by 11 am was breezing off the train, strolling across the road and into my first lecture of the day back here in Cardiff. Isn’t our transport system wonderful? I went across to London for the weekend to see some very wonderful and lovely people from Contagious […]
