The House On The Borderland

 This BBC radio adaptation is very strange and intriguing... ...it is a long time since I've listened to such an odd audio play.

Good Comedy (not friends laughing at each other's jokes)

 Here's some of comedy programmes which I've found funny recently... Tim Key's Poetry Programme ...and... Icklewick FM This is good too, half comedy half auto biography, but done much better than some... Stuart Mitchell's Cost of Living  This too is well done...   ...written and presented by Alfie Moore (Currently the 12 year olds who govern the BBC seem to think that two or three (unfunny) friends laughing at each other's jokes and "observations" constitutes comedy. And if you are a self-diagnosed autist then you must be a creative genius . The comedy jewels above are the exceptions)

A perplexing and awkward contradiction

 Some wise men say "If you run after happiness you will not find it." So to be happy you must not seek it. But "not seeking" is already a method for getting to happiness. So you are seeking it. Oh fuck it all.
