Writing

  1. Up, down, up, down

    I started the week not even wanting to finish the term, never mind doing another year, and ended back considering it.

  2. PMOG design

    A while back I did some design for Justin Hall’s Passively Multiplayer Online Game which I was very pleased with.

  3. ‘A Whore’s Profession’ by David Mamet

    Notes on this collection of essays. Most of the notes are about acting and directing.

  4. ‘Literary Theory: An Introduction’ by Terry Eagleton

    My notes on this book.

  5. Carrying on

    Trying to decide whether to carry on at LISPA next year. So many good arguments for and against.

  6. Finishing with animals

    Real quick, as I must dash to college shortly. First, LISPA has an open day this coming Monday so,…

  7. Two NYRB notes

    The UN, European vs US 20th century war casualties, and Bush’s speechwriters.

  8. Larval masks and animals

    We spent a week using larval masks and are now imitating animals, gradually making them human.

  9. LRB notes

    Three passages from past London Reviews of Books. Empson on Christianity, Pythagorean rules, and the screams of children from old English schools.

  10. Optimism and creativity

    I’ve been wondering whether being optimistic helps creativity. I compare Modernism, 1960s Californian music, and 1970s New York music.

  11. Try now, judge later

    Thinking that I need to try and evade my tendency to be negative, cynical, sarcastic, etc in order to do as well as I can.

  12. The 57 steps

    The end of term two, and our project was “the 57 steps” which, eventually, went well.

  13. Times Online’s bizarre CSS revisited

    More on the Times’ loony new CSS implementation.

  14. Move the music

    LISPA hasn’t been all frustrations this term, so here are some good things.

  15. Times Online’s bizarre CSS

    The new Times Online design has some very, very strange CSS.

  16. The Haddock Directory is now closed

    The Haddock Directory is closing after nearly a decade of daily links.

  17. A laudable idea

    Annoyed at Boing Boing’s link to the BBC’s consultation about on-demand programming, and an idea about classical music.

  18. Standing stock still

    The first half of the second term has left me bemused, as everyone else happily interprets colour and paintings.

  19. Five things you don’t know about me

    Matt Webb prompted me to write about five things most people don’t know about me.

  20. My year in email

    Looking at statistics generated by Eudora for my email usage.

  21. My top tunes of 2006

    A CD’s worth of my favourite music of 2006.

  22. End of the first term

    I feel like I owe an end of term post about the acting classes, which finished just over a week ago, so, a quick summary.

  23. Some of Leslie’s ambitions

    An email Leslie Harpold wrote in response to the question “What do you really want to do which is completely removed from your job?”

  24. Leslie Harpold

    Leslie has died and we’re all going to miss her so much.

  25. The fundamental journey

    Our large group presentation went surprisingly well. We’ve also been spending a lot of time in neutral masks working on representing a long journey.
