urgh. Its 0455 and I am awake. Talk about being restless and irritable.

I watched the first Three Stooges short, which was charming. I used to watch them all the time with my sister. We had a wacky taste as kids.


I think I am slowly going 'round the twist.

Whilst at the supermarket getting editing foods (namely Tim Tams, Coke and Doritos) I got hit on by two sixteen year old girls.
This 28 year old still has it apparently.

Now if only people closer to my age found me equally 'doable' (to quote one of the kids).

Had a bit of shitty news today, but what can you do?

Here's a really awesome music video for you all to feast your eyes and ears upon. The song is 'Bury Me' from The Good Ship's album Avast! Wretched Sea.
The motion graphics and style of the video are amazing, and created by Brett Harris.
You can't get much more fun that going to a live show of The Good Ship, so if the...

I am still sick
Like, staying in bed, staggering out to pee and get food/drink sort of sick, coughing, blowing my nose every other minute.
Times like this I miss a loving partner. Or even a caring one. Or one that can pretend convincingly.

On a brighter note, I went on a nostalgia trip and downloaded the first season of the 87 Teenage Mutant Ninja...

We're having a cocktail party in a month.
Which has led me to ask about the bottles of pre-mix margarita mix. What is it like? Obviously it won't be as good as premium Cointreau and lime, but that shit's expensive, and I've only got a little bit left.

What other cocktails are popular these days?

What would you want to be on the menu?

Premiere Pro CS5, for all its bells and whistles, is still the same old hunk of shit the last three versions were.
For those of you wanting to dabble in video, do yourselves a favour and stick to AVID or Final Cut.

In other news I have slept more in the past 24 hours than in the past 2 weeks.
I hope...

I just figured out how American: The Bill Hicks Story was animated.
Which has opened up a whole new possibility for the screen films.
Which has me a bit more excited.

I am returning my iPod classic to the Apple Store this afternoon. It stopped working. This is the second one in under a year.
What the fuck, Apple.

It turns out I look similar to a violent sociopath, one who is wanted by the police.
I was walking home from the shops (which was a bit of a fail, as there was no swiss cheese!) and got pulled over by the police, and they took all my details and ran me through their computer, as apparently the younger of the two cops said...

I bought the long awaited album by The Art this evening, Here Comes The War. It is somewhat different to what I had expected, with all the rough edges and meandering balladry inherent in previous incarnation's album (Empty Orchestra, released as The Follow in 2004). This isn't a bad thing mind you, I guess it is just a result of wanting to get heard by...
