How do you feel today?
I've got a thing for Spotted Flycatchers at the moment. You can't tell the sex, or gender, unless you are a Spotted Flycatcher yourself.

That's rather lovely, PG. I've been walking by the river near me a lot this last few weeks. On Sunday, Kingfishers, Dippers, Sand Martins, Little Egrets and a Green Sandpiper came to say hello (or more realistically, flew off shouting, &qu…

How did you get into Goldfrapp?
Great, and terrible, story, slippage. Thank you. I have the same wish to let Alison and Will know the story behind my love of their music. It seems to me that the atmosphere they have created, both musically and otherwise is the sort that makes pos…

Good job he didn't work for my employer. The expenses dept would have said he could only have claimed for the mileage between his work base and the foot of the Apollo launch gantry. And then denied it, owing to it being submitted on a Thursday …

Goddam it. I can't seem to delete this post. So I have to be seen to say something - or to be saying nothing. On the plus side, his actions have done a better job of exposing what a pathetic excuse for a human being he is; and he's just s…

Was you batting or bowling Wt? All I can say is that it was a pretty sticky wicket by the end. UT. After I'd come to the crease, I mean.

Hey Kat! It's your dream! Don't blame the messenger.... Obviously, your resistance only indicates that my interpretation is more likely to be true. Incidentally, I dreamt of having oral sex in an airport last night. But then it turned into…

Yeah, but which one was the humour and which one the looks, PG?

Hmmm...your partner failed in her attempt to penetrate you until she used an object that was safe (and very long). She then left you to find amusement elsewhere, and you felt terrible pain.... ....nope, no idea....

^Those insights are not mine, btw - they are from proper science type people like J Allan Hobson. To add my thought to yours on the movement/selfhood question, WW - doesn't it mirror some of our earliest learning about ourselves? The earlies…

certain systems of the brain are shut down, and others ramped up during REM sleep, of course. One of the most interesting features is that although your body's response to movement commands is switched off (unless you sleepwalk), dreamers typic…

WW- your link is good. Guest's translation is said to be technically pretty sound, even without the benefit of the scholarship from the last century. My love of the Mabinogion can be judged by the fact that I named my daughter after a character…

You are right, WW. Classical psychoanalysis is a small part of psychotherapy practice in the UK, although many psychotherapists would cite Freudian or Jungian praxis as part of their approach. The classical Freudian model involves such a huge invest…

Ooh - fab, UT! From a quick browse, "One for Sorrow" really stands out for me, and the concept behind "Taxa" is terrific.

Give A Hoot, Read A Book.
I love Freud, too. Turns out a lot of what he wrote *is* fiction. In fact, some of the most thrilling books I have read include serious, non-fiction about Freud and his work. One that anyone would enjoy is Jeffery Masson's "Final Analysi…

If you are interested in thinking more on this general theme, and especially on how we might find a way out of our current headlong destruction of Nature, I would really recommend reading around E O Wilson's work on "Biophilia". He�…
