It’s been nearly a year since I accidentally deleted my blog and had to start all over again.
Here’s everything that’s happened at Fevered Mutterings (v4.0) since that glorious day of rampant stupidity for which I am rightly proud. A year’s worth: most of it original, some stolen from my archives; some of it carefully considered, [...]

The Big List Of Fevered Mutterings (2009-2010)
Cities: Exciting But Guilty
I’m over here this evening, flying the flag for cities and wondering where they’ll take us.
I’ve have only one major issue with cities: they inspired these excruciatingly awful lyrics. Guilty as hell. “Concrete jungle where dreams are made of?” Say again?
(No, actually don’t say again. Thanks).
Shhh! (A Writer’s Guide To Destroying The World)
Modern writers have a problem, and it’s called The World. It’s noisy and distracting.
The solution is simple…destroy it.
More on that in a minute.
Dear PETA, Yours Despairingly (Once Again)
In what is turning to be a yearly series, I’m over at EcoSalon raising a weary eyebrow at the latest antics by the People For The Protection Of Animals.
The usual arguments apply: “Any publicity is good publicity” vs. “Hey, people are animals too” (because PETA’s human rights record is a little patchy).
So it feels good [...]
383 Reasons I Haven’t Been Around

I can answer the first question fairly easily. (The other three are [...]
I Have Blogger’s Passive Vertigo
Obviously this image is someone messing around. It couldn’t actually happen.
Then again…

Hornsea – the Bahamas of England’s east coast.
Some folk say Hornsea can be gloomy, dank and bitterly cold. They’re fools.
Growing up as a child, I used to look out of my window and watch the sun come out in all its radiant rosy-fingered beauty.
What fascinated me was that it always came out at a great [...]
Electrons On The Rumble
Yet again, I’m absent for a little while, thanks to a full writing workload and a full-time week of dayjobbing (an unhappy combination, frankly).
In other news, my coffee consumption has never been healthier. That’s healthy in the volumetric sense, not the My Body Is A Temple variety.
If you came here to read something and now [...]
Q10: Fitting A Door In My Brain
The problem with using a PC that’s connected to the Internet – well, there are plenty of problems.
Oh, this will be a big list. Short break first.
E-mail. Digg – WOAH that’s crazy. Stumbleupon. Twitter. Facebook (Friends – status updates OHMYGOD message message message). BBC News. Huffington Post. E-mail again. How’s my Space Pioneers empire going? [...]
