The Victorian Pauper Boy And The Shitty Fresh Prince - a tentative audio monologue
A while back, I recorded a few "topical" comical audio monologues - they were fun, but tiring and I'm not sure that was really my best genre. I might be doing a few things in the near future which involve recording my voice or reading live, so this seemed a good time to try and get back into it.
Ergo, below here is a 2:30 min ramble recorded on Audioboo. No attempts to compete with Twitter's timely one-liner merchants this time, just straight up ramble, hopefully mildly amusing. (And yes, when I say "straight up ramble", I mean roughly drafted beforehand in Word and recorded four times until I was happy.)
Between this and that garden video the other day, this site is becoming a veritable multimedia extravaganza.

Against A Dark Background & Cuckoo In The Nest - Some Book Reviews
Now that Many A True Nerd have snatched away my book/comic reviews, there isn't a huge amount of "original content" on this site. Yes, it's good that other people want me to write for them, but I do feel bad having my own blog be nothing but links and the occasional video of me in the garden.
In the near future, I might try and ready a post or two about where I'm at (or something less horrific-sounding), although my actual process hasn't changed much since I wrote this one, but for now - here are two books I've read recently and wanted to quickly get some thoughts down on. They have almost nothing in common with each other.
