Reality, as they say, is stranger than fiction — and that’s precisely what makes almost everything worth looking into.

The writing is how I figure things out. I’ve tried to keep things categorised, though that’s easier in theory than in practice, which is why there’s an “Observations” section at the bottom catching whatever didn’t fit anywhere else.
