staying late / extra credit

Calloo Calay.

I'm here today.

I've been thinking all sorts of negative thoughts about society recently. I don't like it much. Having negative thoughts that is. Society's got its high and low points. I just wish people wouldn't be arseholes to each other.

And I wish we didn't have to tear down all the time.

But it's so easy. Everyone thinks they know better. Everyone has a plan.

Why don't we let the journalists run the country? I'm sure they could do a better job.

Actually I don't think sarcasm helps the situation. It does make me feel better for a little bit, but then it tastes sour.

I could spin this out into an essay, but I need to get dressed really. Also, I meant spin in the other sense. Not the newspaper sense.

contrast

In addition to my ramblings below I feel I owe.. who I wonder?.. you all? Myself in times to come? Posterity? Maybe nothing so grand.

I feel I owe somebody an explanation. Well. No that's too strong. I feel I owe somebody an account of my doings recently. Let's say if nothing else so that I can look back next year and see what all went down.

These have been a busy few weeks with things going on left right and centre. I'm not sure I will remember everything but we've had:

Gigs, recording, meals, people round, Hen weekends (not me obviously), Open Mics, practices, Birthday parties/celebrations, unexpected sibling visits, expected sibling visits, 6th form proms, GTP completion celebrations, attempted poker nites, fun, friends, drinks, meetings, work, cricket nets.

I think that gives a flavour. Tomorrow I am playing my first cricket game of the season. Should be fun. What else is happening? Well, I haven't overlooked the most important event of Maytime. That's right peoples, the birthday celebrations are to be had. I might scale back a little this year. Then again maybe not..

I think that's how we do.

The other big news here at tobiwan.co.uk is that we're undergoing a redesign. Something of an overhaul. Another reason why posts have been lacking lately actually. It was nearing completion today but I hit a snag due to lack of planning and foresight. But rest assured you'll be the first to know when it hits the shelves.

How's that for two posts early on a Sunday morning? I'd like to say that my fingers are tired, but I could go on for ages. You know I could.

Spangly

It's a good word.

I've been keeping myself busy. How about all o y'all?

Well that's good to hear.

Recommendations? No not today. There's nothing that springs to mind that I haven't already told you about. I need to hear/watch/read some new stuff.

Band practice tomorrow. New song sounding very swish. Possibly called Trademark Failure. Word.

Overandout.

bonus time is just around the corner

Heylo my good feylos. Fellows. Whatever.

Getting that strange local distortion of gravity around the eyelids phenomenon going on right now so I'd better be brief. Tonite was cooked the pie of cottages. It was nice thank you. Also spent the afternoon cooking chilli for 16.

Nearly birthweek. Here at party central we've been asked to tone down the celebrations this year. So I will be mostly drinking moonshine from my own personal still. Nothing like it.

If you were stuck wondering what to get me, well now you don't have to. Everyone go to: http://www.scarygoround.com/shop.php and buy me stuff. I particularly don't have the doom balloon t-shirt or the latest books or any prints.

Ahem.

Nite.

personalities

Hello.

I have an addictive personality I think. Here's some reasons:

• I once listened to the bananaphone 20 or 30 times in a row.
• I played minesweeper. A lot.
• The whole 24 thing.
• Some other stuff
• Probably

See?

leave of absence

Oh my. It goes from bad to worse doesn't it.

Here's a few thoughts for you:

• What's with all this consolidation of online stuff? Blogger and google logins, yahoo and flickr logins. I'm sure there's more. Perhaps it will make things easier in the long run so that you can just log in once and you're done, but surely it's a little dangerous to have all your eggs in one basket?
• I know I say it a lot, but I appear to have proofs (PROOFS!) now: I'm tired. So tired in fact that when we had Aran and Carla round I kept drooping. I thought this might be one off, but then it happened with Jon and Kelly last nite too. Maybe I do too much
• "I was cooking beans" is not a good excuse for mistaking Dominic Monaghan for Billy Boyd.
• Once again I will be hitting the streets of Brighton for a night out. It's been a while.

That's about that.

One more thing. I stumbled across the following "table" whilst browsing wikipedia and ending up at the Received Pronunciation article. Now is it me, or is some academic dude having a gee-rarf? I think so. Would you just look at it!



K I'm done.

checking in

it's not flowing like it used to I know.

Jack's open mic was tonite. It was good. They've started giving me some drinks as payment for running it. This is.. interesting.

Anyways. This week has been fun. I don't seem to be able to have a non-busy one though. Even next week, which, let me remind you, is half term, is filling up with funs™.

Still, as I always say, you can't have it all.
