Collection of negligible things that, somehow, make me happy from time to time. Mainly an excuse to write more often though. I like how the word “negligible” sounds.

Drinking Hot Water at Work

A few weeks ago I started drinking hot water (just plain hot water) at the office instead of the customary tea…

Look, even though I’m a very patient person I think 63 millennia to reinstall an old laptop is my limit, I can’t…

The BBFC Black Card

I love going to the cinema, so much that I pretty much go every week. Yeah, the seats are worse than the IKEA coach I have at home, the screen is blurrier than my budget TV and I can’t pause the playback if I need to use the restroom or adjust the volume to my taste. But maybe those “not…

Giving always 110%

Do you know that feeling when you fully charge your phone and then, even after using it for a while it stills says 100%? It’s great, isn’t it? Where is that endless power coming from? It makes you wonder why don’t they build the full battery with the same quality materials they used for that…

“The University of Warwick has announced it will award Academy Award-winning director Oliver Stone an honorary Doctor of Letters degree”

Be Kind, Please Rewind

After watching a film on the internet I do this thing of rewinding the video by dragging the seek bar completely to the beginning.

Rule, Rule, Joke

Just a few days ago I wrote about comedy clichés, well this is one of my favourite manoeuvres of all time. One so great that even when you obviously see it coming you can’t help but listen and wait for the punch line.

Never Say Never

I have a soft spot for comedy clichés, small things that always work to deliver a perfect punch line.

One of my favourites is that one in which a character says that won’t do a certain something or that something can’t happen. The scene suddenly shifts. All we see now is…
