I feel closer than I've ever been

Heylo my prittys.

Sorry to harp on again, but it does really grill my cheese when people assume the worst of situations before they really should. Honest to god.

But what kind of life to lead that you're so concerned about a situation you assume is going to happen that you feel the need to let everyone else know through passive-agressive posting of news articles and such?

It's not healthy.

This is how I can claim I'm not cynical I guess. I want to believe the best of people/situations. I may also observe bad things that do happen but I remain defiantly optimistic.

For all of you lovers of conundrums and puzzles, head over to the Network. He's been running a link competition for his last few posts and it's causing quite the stir.

I'm not sleeping at all well of late. This is a fairly teenage blog statement, I know. Wah wah wah. Last nite was just wisdom tooth pain, but it seems that most nites recently it's been blowing a freaking gale, then I get up in the morning and all seems calm and peaceful as if the nite's turmoil never happened. There's probably a good metaphor to be had there but my tired mindtank can't make the link.

Oh well.

overandout friends.

While I'm at it

This site is a gem.

In particular this page

paydirt

The question, Raymond, was 'What did you want to be?'

Christmas is coming they say. And with it decorations, food, a David Ford gig or two AND OH GOSH snow on Christmas day. Can you believe that?!? I have it on a very reliable source.

Here's a couple of things to get you thinking. I know they have me. But just be careful you hear.

Thing #1: Fascist America
Thing #2: State Snoopers

These links are brought to you courtesy of overcompensating.com and jayhawkeye.blogspot.com. Other peoples are doing the thinking so as I don't have to. That's the way. Ah Ha. Ah Ha. I like it.

Treasure Trails

Hello.

These last few days I have been having fun with the Guinness Golden Domino treasure hunt. Yes I am a geek and yes it was quite fun. Don't have a girlfriend? Have a girlfriend but don't mind getting dumped? Head on over to GUINNESS® La leyenda del Dominó de Oro.

The whole idea is to unlock the new advert using codes that can be found across the web in sites that Guinness has set up.

If you honestly can't be arsed with all of that, just download the new Guinness advert.

Alternatively, if you're here through a google search and can't work out the clues, you could always try commenting here. If you don't annoy me I might even help you out. Heeeeee.

PS. Click on the mayor dude when you get to the site. The way he talks is peculiar.

at week's end

In these secular days we live in what day is considered to be the last/first day of the week? Not a huge relevance I'll grant you.

Had a nice weekend. Anwar's birthday partee was yestre-daye. He made fajitaz. Wicked bad yo. His birthday is actually tomorrow though. Firey works day.

Not much to say. I suspect my dad has mentioned this before, but this scared the bejesus out of me: http://www.slate.com/id/2176185/.

Well. Not exactly scared the bejesus out of me, but certainly made me think. It's quite a balanced piece on the whole. Not that I've fully researched it of course.

Bed.

steaming

Back to work today it was.

Not too bad. Still fightin this chest infection madly yo.

Now there's a song I haven't heard in a while. Just Jinger's I Like You Madly. Check it out if you get the time.

Today's post is a little freeform in its.. um.. form. So whilst I'm thinking about freeform, check out Flight of the Conchords on youtube. Specifically this song. Brilliant.

You'll also notice that I have been checking out radiohead's new album. I love it. I paid a fiver, but I would have paid more had I had more money. It's very atmospheric. I like music you can get lost in. Radiohead are good at this. As is Nitin Sawhney and also for me, Lemon Jelly. I need to find more like this though.

I made a new strangeday website as well. Check it out. There's some hidden pages in there. I'm going to try and make it more and more labyrinthine as it goes on. Whilst not trying to rip off radiohead too much. Although their web presence presented me with some influence for my confluence yo.

Speaking of strangeday, we have a gig this Friday. Hopefully this one will be quite important for us. Which is why it's so neat that I have a chest infection. Which is why I gotta be leaving you to stick my head above a bowl of just boiled dihydrogen oxide.

What fun.

don't you find

It's always the people you would like to blog that don't do it. I'll let you draw your own conclusions from that. You're smart people after all..

Not, of course, to say that those that do blog are those who you wouldn't want to. That's stretching the point. But then I'm hoping that being the smart people you are, you would have worked that out too..

I'll leave you with this. My favourite part? Well naturally it's:

The zoo bought the animal ten years ago from a local resident who had kept it as a pet.

Could we have a little more background than that please? Like.. let's say an interview with the 'local resident' (read: nutjob).

vacations!

Hooray it's the holly days. Those are good days.

I watched the sixth sense this morning. It was good. I already knew the ending unfortunately but it didn't ruin it really. That kid's a good actor.

Still in my pyjamas and it's nearly five. Baby this is living.

I think I'll link to Dr McNinja today. It's some good comickin'. Maybe it's coMACKIN? Anyways they're in the middle of a guest run at the mo' so be sure to check the archives.

Have a good evening.

Oh bugger

From the article, How To... Blog

Posting bad things on your blog is like dumping rubbish in space.

Ah well, what does he know, eh?
