  • Depreciation of Appreciation

    I was lying in bed the other night, and happened to start thinking about my six hours in A&E not long ago. I was thinking about how absolutely awful that light-headed, sick feeling is, and found myself thinking about it so much that it started to actually manifest. So, of…

  • New Year, New…Year

    Yes, funnily enough the transition from 2013 to 2014, AKA Tuesday to Wednesday, has not heralded some transcendental change or indeed a sudden desire to lose weight, or gain weight, or eat more celery and less pig, or take more risks or less risks. It means we’re that much closer…

  • A&ME: 6 Hours With Death

    Ok, the title may be ever so slightly exaggerated, but do you want to know what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? The former spends six hours sitting in A&E, shaking and throwing up. Ok, I may be a bit stoppable. I should point out now that…

  • Pawbonez

    I thought the z might make the clever word play better. I don’t think it worked. To update the previous post: The surgery on the dog’s paw was going to be €600 (I don’t like to think what it would have been had it been a remotely tricky or in-depth…

  • Pawbones

    Get it? It’s a play! A play on words! Sawb…oh never mind, it’s not very good. [angry-rant] My dog has a suspected metacarpal fracture, and needs surgery. She needs surgery because it’s two little toe things that are fractured, rather than just the one, and so if it’s put in…

  • My Name Is Ross And I’m A .com

    Just a brief post to say what you almost certainly already know: I have made the leap from .wordpress.com to .com! So, while rossharrisonnexus.wordpress.com was a nice, snappy name, I decided to go with http://www.ross-harrison.com. Of course, as a web designer, I should probably have made a proper website (no…

  • Kindling [insert witty second word]

    I was going to rant about Firefly and why the hell those inept morons at Fox got away with airing it out of order and then cancelling it…but then I saw another post on the subject and decided to leave it. Instead, I’ll announce that I am now the owner…

  • My Writing

    I’m not entirely sure what to say about it, but I am a writer (and an author now), so I should probably say SOMETHING about it. I started writing short stories long enough ago that I no longer remember my first. I think it had a hill in it. And…

  • The Plunge

    After many years – perhaps about twelve – of writing and editing, rewriting and editing, I finally finished my final edit of Shadow of the Wraith on 6/4/12. Then it was a slightly bumpy and educational month getting ready to self-publish. I learned that converting to html for Kindle was…
