Everyone Has a Spot of Art in them

February 22, 2022February 17, 2022 Medic 0 Comments art, ramble

Every other Thursday, I join a small local group of people, and we all do some sort of arty thing. The arty thing (which I have referenced in the past) is both a small social event and a chance to make something nice. Normally, we all do something along the same theme. For example, we recently did some nice glass painting. But for one arty session, we were presented with a pile of art supplies and some nice, gloss card, perfect for making greetings cards. This time, we all let our creative juices flow, and they all flowed out in… [Continue Reading]

A Ramble About Pockets

February 11, 2022February 5, 2022 Medic 0 Comments ramble, rant

One of my most favourite pieces of clothing that I own is a long-sleeved black top with white stars on it. I have no idea where this top came from, but I’ve owned it for several years now. The nicest thing about this top though? It has pockets. A pocket on each side, not always noticeable. Sure, those pockets aren’t the deepest, nor do they have a way of being sealed. But when it comes to putting something temporarily in said pockets, it’s so nice that my starry top can help. Unfortunately though, the rest of my wardrobe mostly lacks… [Continue Reading]

Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of UK panel shows. Many of these are comedy panel shows, with comedians and the odd famous person taking part. The shows can be about anything, from criticizing current news and politics like Mock the Week, all the way to “I literally just told you” hosted by Jimmy Carr. Yes, that is a new show. Yes, it is also literally how the show works. In the middle of all that, we have more crazy comedy panel shows like Would I Lie to You and Taskmaster, as well as a ton of other panel shows.… [Continue Reading]

Pumpkin Soup for the Soul

January 18, 2022January 11, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pumpkin, recipe, soup, spuffood

This year, the winter season has been very odd. Normally, November and December are colder, cold enough to warrant making soup. Late December and January however have proved me wrong, making things cold and wet and miserable. So I’ve decided to make some soup. Pumpkin soup. Ingredients Pumpkin of some sort, with seeds and skin removed A couple of onions, sliced Some potatoes, peeled and scrubbed About 5-6 cloves of garlic, sliced and mushed (not bulbs) A decent amount of Mixed Spices A teaspoon of cinnamon, cloves and paprika One stock cube of your choice Salt and Pepper, but not… [Continue Reading]

We’re Doomed – A Panic-Causing Board Game

January 6, 2022December 29, 2021 Medic 0 Comments 15 minutes, board game, doomed, game, review

As much as I love board games, they do tend to go on for a while. That’s not always a bad thing, but sometimes you want to play a nice, quick, short board game. Something that is fun but cleans up nicely when it’s done. To put it another way, the gang and I take forever to finish any board game. Thankfully, I bought my brother a gift for Christmas, and it’s just what we were looking for. We’re Doomed! We’re Doomed is a simple table top game that can support up to 10 players. As the name suggests, it’s… [Continue Reading]

A Christmas Article for 2021

December 25, 2021December 17, 2021 Medic 0 Comments smissmas

Merry Smissmas! Hiya, everyone! Happy holidays from us at the Daily SPUF! It’s December 25th, 2021 and the plan is to enjoy ourselves. Time for a bit of fun, I’d say! There are gifts to be opened, rich food to be eaten and many a stomach pain from eating way, way too much. Or, at least, that’s how it is for me. Of course, everyone is different. While I’ll be busy cooking things, other people will be busy drinking or eating or opening gifts. There’s also people who simply don’t celebrate a holiday at this time of year, and I… [Continue Reading]

A Tiny Art Group

December 24, 2021December 16, 2021 Medic 0 Comments art, fun, local

I’ve always been a bit of an arty person. For years, I have been drawing and writing and creating my own things. When people see my art, they always say it’s great. Even if I hate the final result myself. Frankly, I have very little self-confidence when it comes to my art and being praised. Heck, that’s the reason why I call myself an arty person rather than straight out calling myself an artist, it’s a lack of self-confidence. The Tiny Art Group The Tiny Art Group (not its actual name) is a very simple thing, hosted by a kindly… [Continue Reading]

Thoughts on KID A MNESIA

December 8, 2021December 2, 2021 Medic 2 Comments amnesiac, kid a, kid a mnesia, music, radiohead, review

The other day, I wrote an article about a weird art exhibition made in video game form. Everything in there was a celebration from Radiohead, marking the twenty years of their two albums, Kid A and Amnesiac. As well as a virtual exhibition, Radiohead released a combined album called KID A MNESIA, which features the two albums, plus a bonus disk. The bonus disc contains a mish-mash of songs, half of which are untitled. And all of which meld into each other. The songs released as singles are nice. There are two new songs on KID A MNESIA that are…… [Continue Reading]

The Curious Single-Timeline Nature of Everything I Write

December 7, 2021December 1, 2021 Medic 0 Comments ramble, story, writers block, writing

As you are probably aware, either from the fact that the Daily SPUF recently hit a milestone in articles or the fact that I, Medic, write all of them, this crazy individual does a vast amount of writing. In fact, I do so much writing that the article in which I mentioned we had nearly reached 2400 articles had to be updated, because I had originally written the article just before we hit the 2300 article milestone and nearly forgot to change it. In fact, I had to alter this opening paragraph to not include a number due to how… [Continue Reading]

Winging Cakes

December 5, 2021December 3, 2021 Medic 0 Comments cake, cooking, ramble, rant

Baking is a hobby of mine, but it’s a somewhat recent one. My desire to cook more increased when I moved out, because, well, I couldn’t just eat noodles. No matter how much I like them. However, baking is an even more recent new hobby, one that appeared as I moved apartments, and wanted something sweet to eat. Problem is, I like sweet things, like cakes and muffins. And if I buy them from a shop, I’d be even fatter than I am now. As an alternative, I started baking my own cakes, so I can control how much sugar… [Continue Reading]
