About Me
I've been blogging at Assistant Blog for five years or so, cataloguing moments of my personal life alongside links and thoughts on pop music, politics, books and art. I play guitar and sing in a mostly dormant pop group called Assistant, and live in Brighton. I'm pretty sociable and excessively talkative, so do e-mail me here if you like.
Whoops! Your tongue is now a magnet. Whatever will you use for silverware?
wooden spoons, chopsticks, fingers and funnels.
