Alice and Kev is a heartbreaking soap opera about homelessness and madness.
Alice and Kev are digital people in an unlikely venue for a moving narrative: the computer game The Sims III.
Alice and Kev are a sad, young, good-hearted, unlucky daughter and an insane, angry, inappropriate would-be Casanova of a father.
Alice and Kev is a blog by Robin Burkinshaw
Alive and Kev make me laff my ass off every time I read a post.

Listing to the left
- She: So we were talking and weirdly it seemed like breastfeeding from the left breast was the image we always had, when we thought of breastfeeding.
- Me: But neither of you have given birth ...
- She: No, but when we thought about it, hypothetically, our future kids.
- Me: Okay.
- She: So then the conversation devolved.
- Me: Into?
- She: Well, someone who's left handed is a southpaw
- Me: Yes.
- She: So, what would the equivalent be for tits? What's the word for someone who's left-breasted?
- Me: ...
- Me: Portbap?

Inertia
Days like this, days when it feels like an accretionary, pearl-like barrier has grown around the part of my brain that’s able to achieve anything, trying to act feels like running into a wall of molasses.
It’s not a lack of motivation; it’s just inertia.
However much will I summon I can’t get the smallest thing started - just staring at a succession of screens trying move my brain into a place that can think. But no thoughts will come.
It doesn’t get me often, but it does get me, and where does it come from.? It’s not the heat - I’ve had this in all weathers. It’s not mood - I’m perfectly happy (apart from about this inability to move), I had a plenty good evening with wine and company then a bit of time to myself to cook something nice and look after my home, I didn’t stay up stupidly late.
Maybe it’s something to chalk up to cosmic mystery. A day every two or three years isn’t so bad, but I do want to punch something to make it better. I’ll be all full of self-recrimination and I know that the way to do something is to do it,
but I’m still locked here,
in my head,
unable to accelarate.
Fuck inertia.

This seems awfully familiar …
But, though it is familiar, and though I am indecisive today, I am not depressed today.
Read Achewood as it is very good.

Take this everyday world and embrace it! That is what the spirit urges. What better world can there be than this in which we have full responsibility, each and every one of us? Labor not for the men to come! Cease laboring altogether and create! For creation is play, and play is divine
