IS Calligraphy

Posted by stuart davis 12May

Song of The Day: Muse / Endlessly
Word Of The Day: Cryptodynamic / Pertaining to, or having, hidden power

So, if you've read this blog at all, or been to a show you probably know I'm...how to say? Into...language!

Specifically, my hobby is creating a language (mine's called IS), or con-langing as its known in underground geek parlance (constructed-languaging). But I divide con-langs into three categories.

Very Beautiful

Posted by stuart davis 11May

This lyric from XTC's song Senses Working Overtime really cheered me up this morning. It's good when, after 1,032 listens, a song can still make you laugh out loud and pull yøu out of a rut.

"And birds might fall from black skies
And bullies might give you black eyes
And buses might skid on black ice
But to me they're very, very beautiful!"

New Zealands

Posted by stuart davis 09May

Song of the Day: Figment / Michael Penn
Word Of The Day: Nomic / Customary or conventional

You gurhlz, I checked, and New Zealands is not (yet) a province of Australia.

But gurhlz, I checked and I know a really good way we can fuck with New Zealands.

Guhrlz, this would be revenge for New Zealands stealing Crowded House from Australia.
