Dear aggrieved Hillary supporters - you'd actually vote for McCain/Palin because there is a woman involved rather than vote for Obama? Congratulations - that spinning sound you can hear is every female who ever battled for equality spinning in their graves. Vote for what you believe in, not for which ticket has the most vaginas.

I'm coming to the US for the election, btw -...

Tunes I am loving at the moment...











...Noah & The Whale, The Hold Steady, Florence & The Machine, Brighton Port Authority and The Peth.

I am not well; I have a huge case of man flu - so I'm snotty as fuck and achey and I don't want to be at work and... and... and...

Dear god it's hot at the moment; we *need* a good thunder storm to clear the air - it's sticky and muggy and just a bit much (yes, I probably would be complaining if it was chucking it down for days too!).

Went to see The Dark Knight yesterday; cracking film but I'm still not convinced that it's a great Batman film. One reviewer made...

What's that magic number, you say? That's the number of T-shirts I have piled up around my home. One hundred and four. I'm not entirely sure when the collection suddenly escalated - though it *might* have been linked to a pay rise and not wearing shirt and ties to work - but I'm the owner of a *lot* of tees.
