I have lost all my creative faculties. All this reading and studying, not that it’s that much, it just inhibits me from producing anything original. So I’ll just tell you about some of the fun I had since my last update. Sibling Rivalry I have a fucked exam schedule, one right at the beginning with no study leave before it, ...

I need to be more conventional
I can’t write like other people, or act like them, or even think like them. When I see Justin going stir-crazy on his site, I feel a pang of pleasure and, yes, even companionship in my deranged lunacy. Nice word, lunacy, it implies that the moon is responsible for your madness. My own personal madness probably stems from some other ...

My Will Self stylings (see my last update) have lead to abuse in the chatbox. Weirdly, someone came to my aid, so I the page didn’t load up with the first line being anti-Rod racism. You know, I think MLK was a pushover. To be judged not by the colour of their skin but by their strength of character indeed! ...

It’s not so much that I don’t understand why people find Adam Sandler funny, that I could understand (if you follow), its the fact that I don’t understand why I find him funny. Me, Roderick I. Nicol (I never tell people my middle name so they’ll think the ‘I’ stands for ‘the First’, as in William I, Henry I, Charles ...

Days like today are few and far between. Today, I woke up early, didn’t miss one minute of lectures, skipped my usual ten-pieces-of-bacon breakfast, joked and laughed with everyone I talked to, got smashed, slept well (albeit briefly) and the whole experience left me feeling like a million bucks. I can’t put a finger on what it was that made ...

I’ve spent a curious evening. To celebrate my near-completion of a significant amount of the year’s work, I drank myself silly and woke up, hungover, at 3am. I hauled my stone-age computer online as an excuse not to do something worthwhile, like cleaning my place which is a fucking sty at the minute. It being so early I saw people ...

I can’t believe how scathing that last (or should I say, first) post was. I hope I haven’t offended anybody. I’ve just got this incredible anger against the world. No, I’m not a psychopath, I just have the flu and you know how illness tends to make you all indignant. One almost hates the world when one is sick, don’t ...

No, you’re not hallucinating, this is a bona fide update from yours truly, the Rt. Hon. Roderick I. Nicol, Esq. I thought this site could do with an update that makes no mention of the tragically dull NZ barn-rave scene, so here goes…well, I’m here in lively Londonium, the city of dreary weather and even drearier clubs, the city that, ...
