Back (from Outer Space)
Or the realms of deep depression and apathy; whatever, you get the picture ( Read more... ) -
Going Underground
I don't much like enemas.Don't get me wrong, I'm sure in certain parts of the internet the above might count as a controversial statement. Coming from my mother, though, midway through a social phone call? I suppose it was nice of her to try and set my mind at rest, but I've never really worried much about her being a closet klismaphile ( Read more... ) -
Light And Day*
As far as I've been able to tell, there's not a lot of love around for the Polyphonic Spree. Personally, I can't understand this for the life of me. I'm always being criticised for being a little grey thundercloud, and then along comes this explosion of light and joy and happiness and music and apparently that's not good enough either? Honestly, ( Read more... ) -
Toy Division!
Finding it very hard to type today's entry where I'm laughing so hard. Those with a taste for mature themes and immature humour should click the link below to see why. Better still, click the link, read the archives and then comment, because if I don't find somebody to share this with soon I'm going to explode. apiphile, I bet you knew about this already ( Read more... ) -
Turn Around
...I seem to find myself mysteriously drunk and unable to type an elegant sentence, so I'll keep this brief. Firstly, Sainsburys Taste The Difference Organic Medium Sweet Cider is the nectar of the Gods and tastes like fizzy liquid mincemeat. Secondly, here's a clip from the first series of Smack the Pony, a Channel 4 comedy show that ran from 1999 ( Read more... ) -
Paul Heaton Gets It Right
Who were better - the Housemartins or the Beautiful South?
It's a discussion I have with cyberinsekt once or twice in any given year, although he'd swear I have it completely on my own and he only ever weighs in to tell me where I'm contradicting myself this time. In truth the question's a thorny one, if only because after more than a couple of tracks both ( Read more... ) -
Team America: World Police
Not sure why it took me so long to get around to watching Team America: World Police. Well, okay, maybe I am. One or two spotty reviews won't put me off watching a film, but five or ten might. Nobody seemed to have a good word to say about it, and while I'd been a long-term fan of Messrs. Parker and Stone I was prepared to believe that they might ( Read more... ) -
At first I was afraid...
What can I say? I forgot to cancel auto-payment for my LJ account. This probably isn't a sign that I need to get off my backside and start this thing up again, but I've decided to take it as one anyway - at first it was the apathy stopping me, but over the past while I've been slowly succumbing to the nagging fear I can't write for crap. Actually, ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Half a decade now, and you never cease to surprise and delight me. My best friend, my greatest lover, my bringer of laughter... I'd ask you never to change but we've never worked like that, have we? Keep growing, keep changing, keep on making my world a warmer and more exciting place.
Cheers, babe. -
Broccoli Ocarina
While I'm don't have cyberinsekt's visionary talents as a composer, it's hard to remember a time when making music wasn't a source of joy to me. As some of you might or might not be aware, in fact, for the past couple of decades I've been an enthusiastic organist. I'm sat right next to my Yamaha HS-8 as we speak, in fact, feeling acutely guilty about the dust ( Read more... )
