Mark's completely random things

This is the place where I intend to house all manner of random things that don't really fit anywhere else in the site.

The Hermit

This is a 15 minute short film that I wrote and performed in, which is now hosted on YouTube.com. Have a look at it here.

Lots of Scary Vegetables

Every year for the last since 2001, I have hosted a Halloween party in my flat. For the first year, to add an element of quirkiness to the occasion I asked everybody to bring a "scary vegetable" with them. Little did I know that this simple request would open the floodgates for the most competetive vegetable-based (and increasingly fruit-based) sculptures to be seen in the western world. Have a look at the entries and you'll see what I mean...

Prague Puppet Show Review

Have you ever see something so spectacularly awful that you felt compelled to write a review of it for no good reason? Well I did just that after seeing a Prague puppet show in 2004.

Review of a random place

Here's another review I wrote. This one was for a website that encourages people to visit places on the tube map that they've never been to and to write a review about it. I ended up going to Pudding Mill Lane.

There'll be more assorted nonsense like this over time, so keep checking back for further nuggets of banality.
