A dialogue

  A dialogue Carefully settling his steaming cup of extremely hot coffee and throwing his knapsack under the desk, he signs into the computer and turns to the freelancer who’s been working in the office for about a week-or-so now. “Good morning,” she says before he’s able to offer the same. “Good morning,” he gives…

Only little people pay tax

It’s been somewhat of an eventful time as of late, culminating in an appointment and discussion with my neurologist about how we would move forward with a treatment plan for my Multiple Sclerosis. When he commended my level headedness through the process so far – from my initial bout with a sixth annular nerve palsy and speculative…

How are ya getting’ on?

A lot has been going on since my lachrymose little article from last week. At the time, I was rather on the despondent side, fearing I would no longer have time or opportunity to hunt-down and photograph London’s ever-changing street art offerings. As it happens,  my sorrows were somewhat unfounded as I started a new job in East London’s Shoreditch area…

Smile

Today’s customer information update at Camden Overground Station. I know these kinds of things can come across as a little trite and sentimental but sometimes there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. “What passes for hip cynical transcendence of sentiment is really some kind of fear of being really human, since to be really human […]…

McDonald’s newest branch in Hong Kong totally looks like something from George Orwell’s 1984

In an effort to improve their reputation as a “modern and progressive” organization, McDonald’s recently opened the first of its new “high-tech” branches in Hong Kong. As well as allowing customers to order their meals via touch-screen kiosks, the McDonald’s Next restaurant features a salad bar to cater to more health conscious diners. New items…

Citizen, remain vigilant 

The terrorist threat level in the United Kingdom has recently been raised to Severe, meaning that there is high likelihood of a terrorist attack in the immediate future. Since the British Government initiated the launch of air missions against the Islamic State in Syria, living in London feels a lot like living in the centre…
