“We make lists because we don’t want to die”

In the interview, he notes: "The list is the origin of culture. It's part of the history of art and literature. What does culture want? To make infinity comprehensible. It also … Continue reading “We make lists because we don’t want to die”
#15 Extreme Ironing (and attempt at #8 Climbing a Munro)
When I was compiling my list of 30 things to do, part of the emphasis was to do things that were quirky and different. By this I don't mean doing something that was slightly different, but things that were really out there and unusual because I think everyone needs an adventurous side to them.

30 before 30 list
Last week, I turned 29. The birthday parties in Edinburgh and London were both awesome and surrounded by awesome friends. But at the back of my mind, I was slowly coming to terms with the fact that I'm going to be turning 30 next year. Even though 30 is just a number I'm told - … Continue reading 30 before 30 list
