i recently finished reading Terry Pratchett's 'A Slip of the Keyboard: Reflections on Life, Death and Hats'. For anyone who might live in a sucking vacuum, Terry Pratchett was my favourite fiction author and most memorably creator of the Discworld series of which there are 41 amazing books. Sho, it's hard to believe it's coming up to two years since he passed away in his sleep after struggling with Alzheimer's and this book is a [...]
"THAT... IS COMPLETE AND UTTER... RUBBISH!" D muttered, before slamming the door on his way out. B hated his roommate! Oh sure, it had seemed like a good idea at the time. Move in with Death? Everyone had been completely jealous. What in the world could be more exciting than that? And to be honest, in the beginning it had been. The thrill of watching the sand slowly pouring through the hourglasses. Sneaking a quick peek [...]
It is 2 days to go til 2015. In some ways, most ways actually, nothing really changes when the clock hand ticks off that final second. As a South African, i can be assured that Australians, New Zealanders and more have been experiencing 2015 for hours, and that it will be another ten hours after i do before my friends in Oakland, where we lived for more than half of this year, will be arriving [...]
if you don't know who Terry Pratchett is, then you should probably administer yourself a slap to the head. come on... do it... there, you go. much better Terry Pratchett is a man who i have never met [altho he did email me once] who has kept me thoroughly entertained for, oh since about 1983 when his first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic, was published and 40 novels later [as well as others not [...]

[Jack Handey] and: "Laurie got offended that I used the word "puke." But to me, that's what her [...]
so the writing is going pretty well - not sure i'll be finishing this week but have definitely taken some huge strides forward [thankx big time to Garth Croftbro who reviewed the first part of it really hectically and gave me a lot of great stuff to work with] so thankx to everyone praying towards that... i did make time to record my second audio thort and you can find it here - http://brettfish.tumblr.com/ - [...]
so in exactly one week's time i will have been married to the beautiful Val for exactly one year - and what a year it's been! as i say often to people - 'marriage is highly recommended... to the right person!' and the 'to the right person' bit is the key - not cos i believe in any kind of God-brings-this-person-and-that-person-together necessarily or that i believe that there is only one 'the one' as opposed [...]
