Boredom

Posted on May 8, 2012July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: Patrick   It seems that as a society we do not take boredom very seriously. I recently went to a conference on the theme of boredom, and when I mentioned it to other people, most of them chuckled. “Was it boring?” was the standard response. Fair enough. For most people, boredom as a mood…

A Little Thought

Posted on May 4, 2012July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: Patrick Written 25 April 2012   Fernando Torres broke his long-standing goal drought last night, scoring Chelsea’s winner in a crucial European match. It was interesting to hear the discussions afterwards on the radio. Apparently some psychologists had suggested that his goal drought may be ‘fatal’. It seems interesting that psychologists feel able to…

Introducing ‘Panning for Soul’

Posted on May 1, 2012July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: Patrick   I am thirty-one years old. I seem to have reached a stage in my life where I am struggling to find meaning in a lot of things that once seemed so important. Not all things. I do not feel depressed, but rather I am finding that in most crucial areas of my…

Leave it there

Posted on March 19, 2012November 2, 2023 by ShiverWriggle

By: Lydia Crow Leave it there, my love, Lest you disturb far more Than dust and bones And corpses of flies Who withered in the attic there During long, hot summers When the room’s dead air Was still and thick, Yet safe. Leave it there, my love, Lest you lie in bed Awake at night…

Moments

Posted on December 23, 2011July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: Hugin   In one of my favourite television programs, Psych, there is a point where the main character asks his father if he thinks it is possible to miss a ‘moment’ in life.  His father’s reply is that life is made up of ‘moments’: “you’re having one right now”. I think that’s something that I’m only…

Minisode #1: Flotsam and Jetsam

Posted on November 9, 2011July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: Vague   The first time I heard the phrase, ‘Flotsam and Jetsam’, was when I was first reading The Lord of the Rings, where it is the title of a chapter. At least that is how my memory deems it; I may have known of it before, but it certainly stuck in my mind…

Introduction – A Return

Posted on November 4, 2011July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: Vague   It is now over a year since I left my ‘proper’ job and ventured, quite literally, into the unknown. I have returned to the shelter I built, to once again spend the Fall out in the woods, along the beaches, across the moors and up the mountains. I started a blog piece a…

Mummy Wow, I’m a Big Boy Now.

Posted on February 4, 2011July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: Will Roberts 4th February 2011   Just caught my reflection in the window.  With the blue/white light from my laptop reflected in my glasses I look fucking sinister.  I have eaten, predominantly, South African Biltong this evening (ahh, the primal thrill of tearing strips of dried meat with your teeth), I’ve drunk, exclusively, lager and…

RLSH

Posted on January 12, 2011July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: Will Roberts   I’m temporarily residing in a grey satellite town, cowering in the shadow of a slag heap in South Yorkshire.  Though the mine nearby is still, on paper, a going concern it is one of the countless forced to hand over it’s gift-wrapped testicles to dear old Maggie back in the early…

I’m A Show Off

Posted on December 29, 2010July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: Will Roberts   Now I don’t wish to rock the boat, and do stop me if the particular thread I’m picking at here is the one which unravels the cardigan, but I’m currently contemplating something of a quandary and I’m concerned it might be an ‘elephant in the room’ of an issue over which it…
