stuart cambell on the chelsea-man u game

"I wonder if Drogba actually worked it out.

*"Hmm. If Terry DOESN'T give away a penalty for doing three fouls on
Valencia at once, and Cole WASN'T playing Rooney onside by a mile, and I DO
somehow get booked for almost having my lungs kicked out by Evans, then
logically if I go and pull someone down in the box while standing right in
front of the keeper and lunging at the ball in a blatantly offside position,
that must be okay!"* "

Make me laugh anyway

god darn it, I really don't like mondays.....

.....especially when sleep really just didn't seem to happen on sunday
night....

so far:

I've ended up working from the old office at the last moment, becasue it's a
shorter commute and I would have been late otherwise
I've ended up crying at my desk due to tireness and had to dose myself up to
the gills with dr pepper
I've ended up trying to post my lovefilm dvds back into a litter bin rather
than a postbox... in this case they left my hand, just at the exact moment
my brain realised what I was doing, resulting in a moment of sheer wonderful
coorfination, catching the dvds before they touched anything, which was
worthy of applause, but which seemed to only confuse onlookers (typical)

So today is one i'm spending doing monotonus boring work tasks, becasue i
know I can't mess those up, while listening to my ipod.

So far the only thing to raise me from my near comatosed state if when
oportunities by the pet shop boys came on......

Well that was probably my quietest weekend since forever....well a long while anyway. Damned Lurgy. No Friday Flock, No Slippery Belle, Not an ounce of Leeds goodness. Still i did manage to escape my self enforced prison and make it to Robins party in Bar Hill and see a few people to stop me going stir crazy.

I also downloaded the xbox360 Left For Dead 2 Demo, which indeed looks like more zombie mayhem and that was fun. I listened to some music, chatted on Facebook and MSN and generaly tried to get healthy again. I'm not quite there, but i am in work, which i supose is a good thing !

I've also noticed i've not really been posting here, however when reviewing what i had done for WGT Leipzig and bits it was really handy to have a journal to refer back to !!!

Now, if you don't already know about this, it's alright, I don't really like him that much but this is quite catchy:





But this is just fucking brilliant and I can't get the damn thing out of my head. It's been on repeat all morning. I just wish there was an actual video! (sorry, but this is the only way I know how to give you the song)



Now - while looking for the second one, I found this, and I can't decide where it sits on the awesome scale.

EDIT: Also -

So, The Porter Butt on the London Road in Bath will be closing in December. Saturday 5th December will be the last Entropy in that venue. WIth the short notice we haven't got anything planned for February yet, and so this November is the penultimate Entropy for a while.

This week icklemichael and entropyjim are joined by DJ Ant of Pandora's Box (and for those that remember Elvira's).

Doors open at 8pm, £3 per person. All information can be found on our web site (including directions, maps and previous et lists).

We hope to see some of you there - if you can't make it tonight why not write "Entropy, 5th December" in your diary and we'll see you then!

Cheers, Jim.

Dear Internets,

Further to Mr Eris' post on the subject, I have after tedious hours of trawling identified the Samsung R510 as a possible option.

However, I am not Overlord of all Technology or anything - indeed, my own computer only works now that it is a completely different machine (mind you, I did manage to put it all together again inside a new box, so go me). Anyway, the point being, I might miss a glaring rubbishness or something with my choice of machine, so if anyone could advise us on the above, that would be jolly super.

The review I linked to says it has crap speakers, but I assume there's no reason I can't plug others in. The other thing is that I can't seem to get it with XP, but this also seems to be the case with the others I've looked at, so meh.

Two dozen "Guys" walk
veterans say "blow it up"
police look twitchy

A is off for the whole day, it's expected to rain, and I'm Edward-wrangling alone. To be fair, this would feel more upsetting if I was still on mat leave and dependent on weekends for my me-time and adult conversation, but I still think it would be nice to have company.

Happy to travel, within reason. Just don't fancy entertaining his nibs on my own in our flat.

Text me, or comment here and I'll call you in the morning. Right now, I have an appointment with my bed (yes, I know, how rock and roll, but E woke at 5.20am, then had a sort of night terror when we tried to put him down after his feed. Screamed until 6.15, then fell asleep and wouldn't wake in the morning. Meanwhile, I twitched in reaction to the screams and didn't sleep)

dear lasy web

is there an ipod/iphone game out there which is basically the same as the
music quiz game which used to come on old ipods?

just out of interest like

Paper dolls, fire, nails
gaffa tape, good company
rather good Whitby

london was perfect last night. crisp and cold, with the smell of explosives hanging on every corner.

things that are excellent:

♥ hanging with friends
♥ sushi. especially if mined with wasabi.
♥ pickled ginger. i think i may buy some for snacking.
♥ throwing fireworks around in a fashion that would have public safety films crying.

d got into a ruckus at the bus stop last night, apparently, and has coke all down his jacket. i don't remember this. ( 1x bottle rose, half a 35cl bottle of whisky = 17.13 units)

whoops

Nocturna was great. There were about 600 people again. The costumes weren't that great. GG Allin was the best costume IMO, but dumb Edward Scissorshand won again. So cliched. This year I was bumblebee man from the Simpsons. I never enter the contest, b/c my official job is to heckle contestants, which I can't do if I'm on stage.

Anyway, I come from the "Ralph Cramden School of Costume Design" and all my costumes follow these general rules:

0). [1]If an average 11 year-old cannot make it, then the costume is useless!!!
1).  More than 50% of the raw materials must come from a thrift store
2). At least one item must come from a hardware store.
3). NO SEWING!!!! Duct tape, solder, epoxy, glue gun, staples, and safety pins are all acceptable.
4). Total cost must be less than $40US.
5). Total time from concept to finished product must be ~1 day.
6). IT DOES NOT HAVE TO MAKE SENSE!!! The more you puzzle  people with your brilliance, the better.

This Year's Costume:

I wnt a little over budget b/c I bought a pair of Chuck Taylors, but I can always use another pair of gym shoes. The headpiece was made out of woman's hair thing drilled to fit two wood screws which mounted 1ft sections of 300VAC 3 phase Cable with painted styrofoam balls. The shorts, shirt I got at a thrift store and painted the stripes. I was wearing a pillow to make me look round. I made the stinger out of a foam cone wrapped in a stocking. The wings were made out of foam pipe insulation tubing, little wooden sticks and of course Duct Tape.

[0] It is the 0th law b/c it's that important!
