Rory Steele: March 2008
http://rorysteele.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 06, 2008. I think classing any social group with a tag they haven't chosen to adopt themselves is a dangerous thing to do - but they're only a few steps down (or shoul that be up) from Devvo. Need I remind you, these are people with 'WANKAS' scribbled in blue above their front door (not my handywork, I'm afraid). Stop hitting my wall! There was banging and crashing and shouting. "HELP! I CAN'T GET OUT MY ROOM! NAH, CAN'T DO IT! If I fall, will I get compensation? More skipping. "FUCK!

Rory Steele: December 2007
http://rorysteele.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 03, 2007. Jean Therapy for Cringemuss. With less than a month to go before Crimbletide, I am now no longer allowed to buy myself anything bar essential goods. Luckily, I did a little spending spree before the calendar change, ordering a bunch of CDs from Amazon Japan and stopping by the new big Uni Qlo stores in Oxford Street for a couple of tops and a pair of jeans. How about NOT wearing jeans for charity rather than the traditional vice-versa scenario? Zero Tolerance in Haringey. Beaut...

Rory Steele: "Do You Have Your Student I.D.?"
http://rorysteele.blogspot.com/2008/06/do-you-have-your-student-id.html
Wednesday, June 11, 2008. Do You Have Your Student I.D? Yesterday, I handed in my SOAS card, as it was essentially property of the university. Now if I wish to enter the school's hallowed doors, I will need to sign in as a visitor. Similarly, if I ever want to borrow a book from the library, I'll need special outsider access, with all kinds of extra limitations and fees, while gone already is my Senate House Library validity. Listening to: Masami Ueda, Shusaku Uchiyama, Syun Nishigaki - The Library.

Friday, May 18, 2007. Spring 2007 Thailand Part III. But there was a sign in the foyer forbidding them, so we were safe). The next morning gave us the opportunity to try out the yummy hotel breakfast buffet and watch some godawful television. Baptiste and I despaired at the hollow use of English bandied about by the Asian TV networks, especially one documentary we were treated to about a Korean pop star called M. And the Jim Ca. Uhhhhh.the former. Or is it? Anyway, just as we were about to leave, we were...

Rory Steele: July 2007
http://rorysteele.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 25, 2007. The Parting of the Ways. Will continue beyond my time here, but please leave comments and give me feedback just to know that this isn't completely. Worthless and I'm just doing this to appease my creative spirit (or swollen ego). Perhaps this ambivalence can be summed up in this advert for 24. Season Six, posted outside the Imadegawa Tsutaya (strange how one of my last Japan posts involves 24. Advertising much as one of my first posts. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Rory Steele: February 2008

Friday, February 29, 2008. This week has been pretty eventful. In between not working on my dissertation, I went to see both Juno. Overrated) and Be Kind Rewind. Underrated) back to back, visited the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. To look at opium artefacts and whatnot (ornate jars of bear grease to combat baldness, apparently) amid a police-cordoning-off of Lambeth Bridge area, had a trip down the local to celebrate Jona's birthday, and have seen Richard Herring. Do his "Oh F*ck, I'm 40! You're only youn...

Saturday, July 05, 2008. A special preview on Sunday night some three weeks before its UK release, and an absolute treat it was indeed. Full review over at my reviews blog. While making my way between Saturday headliners Jay-Z and Massive Attack, the bandstand had pulled in a sizeable crowd for this band, a brilliant brassy ska band who got the audience jumping about like loons. Their closing cover of the Doctor Who theme was a winner. The Actor Kevin Eldon. I don't doubt their place as Friday night head...

Rory Steele: January 2008

Saturday, January 12, 2008. The War Next Door. The weekend is my reward. But the jerks next door seem to be having none of it. After the incessant loud music (they've added bad Pink Floyd dance remixes to their repertoire now; there should be a law against radios playing songs that are designed to be 'played loud'), frantic alibi-setting-straight telephone calls, macaroni-window-flinging and shouting matches that would make the cast of Eastenders flee in fear, their ouevre has expanded. First off is Doct...
