I stopped opening up my RSS reader a while ago. I don't know how long ago, but I'm pretty sure it was last year sometime. It was just too much on top of everything I saw in Twitter and Facebook. Most blog posts I wanted to read were being lost in the noisy flood of…
Some random notes on what to do with the stuff that I want to keep but don’t want to take with me. The biggest single item is my bed frame (and mattress) and then I’ve kitchen stuff, some clothes, books, records and a computer or two. I’ve slimmed down a lot. I’d like to keep…
I’ve moved out and moved on many times but some things seem to stick around in boxes no matter what. One of those things is my notebook from Drama School. Yes I had just one – I don’t seem to remember there being a lot to write down… This though is the first page of…
People arguing with me over whether Hobo 2.0 was or wasn’t a good description for what I’m doing led me to the wikipedia page for Hobo which provides some useful distinctions in terminology.

In the middle, stripes and red wellies. I don’t look like that on the outside much anymore. But on the inside… yes.. pretty much all the time. Originally posted on Lloyd’s posterous
“I met him on the internet…” That was the innnuendo-laden way that I was introduced to many people in the US by my hosts – it usually got raised eyebrows and giggles… It’s the alternative title to my Please Look After This Englishman show at C4CC on 24th and 25th May. The evening will consist…
I want to clear something up from this post that I wrote a few weeks ago about how things are going. This is my blog, it’s my way of talking to the world. It has been since 2004. A lot of the value of it is that I’m myself here, I talk about what I…
Twitter is functionally dead to me at times like this – and “times like this” seem to be happening more and more frequently. Another day of dstraction and misdirection takes over the space that I’d mistakenly hoped was democratic. On Friday two members of a privileged elite got married and broke twitter for me. This…
