Long time no see, eh? Over 4 months of no new content, which means I'm 4-5 blog posts in debt, LOL. Truth be told, many things happened, but I wasn't feeling particularly good about them. Let's first address the biggest elephant in the room. Yes, the website looks different... again. This time though, I hope it will...

Vladimir Campos, posting on Masterdon last week: Catching up on my RSS reader today, I came across really nice posts from @ellane [Ellane], @disassociated, and @dcbuchan [David Buchan], and had the same thought I’ve been having for so long: why isn’t there an easy way to reply to articles when using an RSS reader?...
讀《13·67》 《13·67》 是 陳浩基 寫的一本推理小說,書名《13·67》含義是從 2013 年到 1967 年之間的故事,以香港和當時的一些歷史事件為背景。整本小說由 6 個相對獨立的案件組成,通過反複出現的人物將故事串聯起來,每個獨立案件都挺精采的。作為一本推理小說,我覺得這几個故事已經挺好的了,看得得過癮,但小說還在結尾給我一個意想不到的結局,讓這本小說在我心裡又上了一個高度。從小到大接触了很多香港的警匪片,也去過几次香港,書裡的地點、對話、用語等都給我一種熟悉感。 書裡打動我的,除了精彩的推理故事,還有人物的選擇和坚持: 有人只是把員警當作一份換取薪資的職業;有人把員警當作除暴安良、维持正义的神圣工作。...

September 2026. Flixton. Greater Manchester. By Tuesday I was itching at the bit to get out of Sheffield, determined to walk off that leg injury I don’t like to talk about. Ideal, then, that Flixton in the middle-class suburbs of west Manchester Trafford has the UK’s largest collection of crumbling pavements,...

I made the mistake of having a big breakfast before sitting down to write and now I’m lethargic and rather want to take a nap. I traveled for work this week, which was all nice and dandy. The trains were on time and pretty empty, taking them during the less busy hours makes quite a big difference.The hotel was a bit...

Listen I understand that technically I am capable of wearing a sweater at anytime but that’s not what I mean and you know it I can’t wear a sweater right this minute because it’s the hottest part of the day and the hottest part of the day is still a little too hot for sweater. But morning? Evening? SWEATER TIME....

Last night, roaming among the more remote and obscure outlying TV channels, I happened upon that greatest of all the Ealing comedies, Kind Hearts and Coronets, which I happily watched to the end – it never palls. Next up after that was another fine Ealing comedy, The Ladykillers, featuring another extraordinary...
