Stuff and Nonsense

Hello there troops.

Binaryboy here.

Binaryboy's real name is Tom.

I thought I would brighten this up, because a lot of it isn't true since I wrote it back then. How much has changed over the space of about 18 months? Let's go back to Shed A to investigate.

Tom likes: Writing his book, not getting kicked in the head by large men, food in general, and any peculiarities of things in general.

Tom dislikes: Getting in the back of the van, tomato juice, computers and the internet. All of these in particular and with special malice.

I have not had any booze since St. Patricks Day, 2001. It has been much better than I have expected. I am now about 2 and a half stone lighter, and have an extra head. I don't have to worry about going to the loo when I'm drunk, or falling asleep on the train. The worst thing about not drinking is: you have to drink a lot of tomato juice. The best thing about not drinking is: everything else.

Not drinking also gives me more time to write my book. Currently, this is 61,000 words long. Many of these are big impressive words like "vomit" and "tango". It is not all silly. I will let you know when it gets published, as it surely will be. The tank of literary progress will not be halted by the bomb-dog of chaos.

Vanity Fair
Jul 25, 2003

Vanity Fair rules. I mean the book, not the magazine. I am going to change my User Name in honour of it. What's even better is that you can get it from Penguin for £1.50 and it only weighs 300g.

Ideal.

Does anyone read these things
Dec 27, 2002

I am depressed. I am sitting alone in work and I've been reduced to the level of actually fixing bugs in order to stop my brain shutting down completely. Why not click on the little button down there and sene me some words?

I thank you

The Corrections
Oct 8, 2002

I have just finished reading this book. Normally with stuff like this you think no way is it going to be as good as the hype - e.g. that Don De Lillo book and Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. But this book is fantastic. I took a sickie to finish it and now I just want to read it all over again.

If you don't like it, mail me your copy and I will preserve it in resin before launching it at the cats who try and 'tie one on' at the bottom of my garden.

Dr Pepper
Apr 23, 2002

I read today on the Texas Department of Criminal Justice website that one of the condemned men had chosen Dr Pepper as the beverage to go with his final meal - well, what's the worst that could happen?

A gentleman and a scholar.

His latest (The Rotters' Club) is rather splendid. Please form an orderly queue. Stay off the grass. This is not a pipe.
