| Description: | A sideways blog about the words and the world around us. Angels and gymnastics, unknown statistics about potatoes, what you should have done with your last 365 breakfasts, the manual-automatic sleep experiment, the riveting North Korean music scene, cooking on your car engine. These are just some of the things discussed, along with various sounds, noises, pictures as well as poems about making empty cake, the art of conversation, singing out of tune, nessness and nesslessness and how to cook your memories - sweet and sour. The only certain thing is that it is going to be sideways.

A Minor Key
Listen to the poem When looking back, I found my days lay tangled in untidy heaps, like unassorted clothes, just washed but with the colours run. As when there's one thing which turns everything to pinks or blues my wednesdays

My Accidental Greek Wedding
I have an irrational passion for phrase- books. Whenever i go to a country where I don't know the language I take along a phrasebook. I often take one with me even when I go to a country where I do speak the language. Sometimes in a foreign country I suddenly stop in the middle of the road. People walk into me, but I don't notice because my mind is wholly taken up by the question: why? What are phr

How our bodies were in the 1950's
Since this picture has a reference to Stuttgart, I am assuming that it is a German representation ofthe way our bodies work. From the style I would guess that this is from the 1950's. It is all very industrial with lots of cogs and iron. Today we would probably portray things differently with integrate circuits and wireless connections. Of course, in order to be really up-to-date, we would have had to outsource and offshore a lot of these functions. If you are surprised at
