This has been all over C4 today (the news and Richard and fecking Judy)

A couple of colossal fags called moustache commander and supreme commander (I am not making this up) have hijacked the Assassins concept and are hocking it over here.

Dresden Dolls - Monday, NOT Tuesday. :)

Sun, 21 Aug 2005 16:40:50 GMT

Just thought I might as well remind people (and tell those that didn't know) that the Dresden Dolls gig is tomorrow, Monday the 22nd of August. It says the 23rd on the tickets, but that's not right.

See you there!

Yes, that's 26th president of the USA, Theodore Roosevelt. He's fighting martian Nazis.

Remember, remember, the fifth of November...

I hate getting excited this early.

Typical. You go to all the trouble of shaving your legs and laying out your best dress, and no-one's going out. :)

Guess I can't really complain, I suppose, as I hardly ever seem to be in the mood to go out when everybody else is.

Apparently, in Japan it is possible to purchase beautifully-drawn, professionally-produced doujinshi wherein Harry Potter is brutally sodomised by Professor Snape.

In this context, perhaps being unproductive isn't such a bad thing.

Fuck. Now I'm gonna have to hear fucking M-People every fucking where I go for the next seven fucking years.

Fuck.

Aaaaaah. Another week over. I feel like I'm just marking time at the moment, which is not good. The trouble is, every piece of productive work that I could be doing right now feels like such a mountainous enterprise to get started that I really can't be bothered.

Mind you, given that I can't be bothered doing the dishes right now, that's not saying much. Even leaving the house requires far more effort than I'm prepared to put in unless I absolutely have to.

I think it might be the weather... everyone seems infected with lethargy. Not that I'm complaining. I spent an hour lying in the grass with the warm sun shining on me through the trees today, and I'm hardly going to object to that.

Bah. Maybe if I can finish Kingdom Hearts tonight I can claim to have accomplished something.

Well, the site I used to download The Daily Show and 24 from is down, having been sued by the MPAA, terrified that a generation of people huddled around grainy XVID files on their computers will somehow stop watching TV. I can't really get too annoyed about 24, given that in theory I could pay astronomical fees and watch it on SKY, or wait for the DVD box set (which I'll probably do anyway). I'm a little more justified in my pissed-offedness about The Daily Show, however, which is not broadcast in the UK, never will be (due to its time-sensitive nature) and almost certainly will never appear on DVD. The one thing the US makes that gives itself a good reputation is now a little more tightly fenced-in by idiocy and corporate petty-mindedness.

I found myself screaming the phrase "that's a *Pan*-Galactic Gargle Blaster, not an 'intergalactic' Gargle Blaster, you Welsh moron!" at the telly today.

Just for those of you that don't already know, it's my birthday today, so we're gonna be taking full advantage of the Chi Bar's happy hour til 8, then we'll be back at mine for booze n nibbles.

I'm in two minds about whether or not to share this with everyone. I kinda want to keep it all to myself.

But that would be wrong.

This review pretty much sums up everything I feel about Gran Turismo, and indeed, racing games in general.

"The game consists of one golfer, one shooter
and a field judge. The purpose of the game
is to shoot your opponent's high-flying golf
ball out of the air with a finely-tuned
12-gauge shotgun, thus preventing him (your
opponent) from lofting a 9-iron approach
shot onto a distant "green". Points are
scored by blasting your opponent's shiny
new Titleist out of the air and causing
his shot to fail miserably. After that,
you trade places and equipment, and move
on to round two."

-Shotgun golf, Hunter S. Thompson.

Genius is obviously not a renewable resource.

Don't get World of Warcraft. It's e-heroin.

Sun, 16 Jan 2005 21:34:52 GMT

I'm in the process of painting my fingernails pink and black, and playing through the entire series of Final Fantasy games from 1 to X-2. (except I don't have 3...) I'm also reading Eoin McNamee's The Ultras and Tim Pat Coogan's history of the IRA, occasionally flipping over the tv to catch Enemy of the State. I might watch Austin Powers when it comes on, and, obviously, I'm on the net.

It's not so much ADD as Attention Surplus Disorder...

Last night I intended to see White Noise with some friends (and some complete strangers) but the queue for the cinema snaked well out of sight, so we pub-hopped for an hour before I went home. I think I hugged everyone. Somewhere between four and five pints of Guinness what social graces I have break down.

I have upgraded to 17"

...my monitor, that is. After being stuck with a 12" laptop screen for the best part of two years, it's like seeing God. Or at least one of the more notable archangels.

Tue, 23 Nov 2004 19:51:02 GMT

I have the worst writers' block...

Incidentally, have I lent anyone my copy of CQ?

Sat, 20 Nov 2004 22:54:57 GMT

I can't stop reading right to left.

Straight outta Compton, y'all.

SPOILER WARNING! (SORTA)

I just stole a Harrier Jump Jet! I can't speak. I'm all choked up here. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then you presumably have a life. Proceed about your business. Nothing to see here.

Sun, 22 Aug 2004 22:42:44 GMT

That's weird... two entries more than a month apart and I'm listening to the Clash both times...

Yoinks, I'm a lazy bastard

Sun, 22 Aug 2004 22:38:55 GMT

Well it's been a while. Several reasons why.

1) Disgaea. Tool of the devil.

2) series 3 of 24 on dvd AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! Episode 9: 19:00-20:00 Jack goes to the toilet, but it's a bluff! He's on a fucking smack comedown, how is it that he's holding it in? What is he, in special issue CTU nappies? I swear that man is a god damn cyborg.

3) Summer School. Less said about that the better.

Actually, no, lets. Went to the end of term ceidlhifhshfgdfhjhkfdsjfdds. (Too many consonants in Scots.) Proceeded to drink about three pints of Guinness, two of Carlsberg, an 80/ and a couple of shots of JD. Refused to dance, instead talked basic left-wing politics all night with anoyone prepared to listen. Leched on a girl nearly a decade younger than me, got leched on by another girl of indeterminate age, then stumbled home listening to Johnny Cash.

And no, I didn't dance.

And now I still haven't done any *actual* work and I need to hand something into my supervisor before I go to bed.... *sigh*

What makes a man... a man?

Mon, 12 Jul 2004 16:56:09 GMT

Just saw Hellboy..aaaaaand it rocks! Yay!

Fantastic stuff - not the greatest film in the world, but at least ten times better than Underworld and the other comicbook crap that's being churned out at the moment - just seems to have had a little more care taken over it. Even the CG fight sequences are a little less unconvincing.
Although is it now the law that all films must feature a fight scene in a subway?
