Because, you know, what else do you expect to read at quarter past one in the morning:

You see, the Earth's natural tendency is to fuck with you.  This is the secret of gardening.  The planet does not want to give you anything.  Mulching the soil is like waterboarding Gaia.  It's the Human saying to the Planet, "give me what I want or I will continue to drown you in handfuls of shit."  Be merciless.

He made some good points about the Heath Ledger business, too, but I'm keeping my own counsel on that; and I can't bring myself to care all that much.

s/council/counsel/. I know; I suck.

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
