Those kids at The Feather are pretty cool, right?

So, the website that you’re reading won an award this year. I don’t know if you knew this (because it’s not plastered all over the site or anything), but that’s pretty rad. Now, I was going to write about how awesome Revenge of the Nerds in Space would be, but, instead, I’m going to use this blog as an opportunity to congratulate the...

Birthdays: so, those exist

So, I had a birthday last week.  My 16th birthday, to be exact. Big deal, right?  It’s such a big deal, that it’s probably deserving of a big, awesome party. You know what I did for my birthday? I had dinner with my family, went to the movies and went bowling. It’s not that I couldn’t have a big, awesome party, it’s that I didn’t...

Movies & reality: not much difference

I can also name any cliche for you and give you an example of a film that prominently features it,...

That’s what I imagine it being like, anyway. I say that most of...

I can’t feel my fingers: Kids Day

I woke up at 4:30 this morning. I immediately made myself some tea (because coffee tastes like liquid coal) to wake myself up. After taking an extremely long amount of time to get ready, I left for school at about 5:30 a.m. By around 5:40 a.m., I was out in the cold, trying to sell Kids Day papers. It started pretty light. Not that many cars, not that much...

Why is a Corn Nut?

Why is a Corn Nut?

The other day I was in the corner shop (as they call it across the pond) by my house and saw that there were seven different kinds of Corn Nuts. I don’t remember what the flavors were, but I do remember that they were all absolutely horrifying. And then that got me thinking, “Why do Corn Nuts exist?” Seriously, why do they? I mean, it can’t be...
