Though there's not many celebrities/artists I actually like, thinking about it. And I doubt they'd agree to conveniently pop their clogs just before each of my posts. Ah well.Anyway I AM MOVING.

In fact, I should be in bed. The more I let my bodyclock slide into the traditional twilight world of the doley/pothead/music journalist (please note I am the least offensive of those options) the more it's going to be a shuddering migraine-inducing gear change back to 9-to-5-land once I get a job again.And no bones about it, Liamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08433343041511300943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3014188.post-37119320950256075562008-01-29T22:55:00.000Z2008-01-30T03:07:54.662ZSo yeah I still haven't got a job.

I mean, it happens every year. It's not like the planet was tilted differently when I was a kid. But it always freaks me out a bit.

As a former work colleague of mine used to say, "I'm sweating like a paedo in a creche". The one good thing about summertime is ladies wearing less clothes in public, and that becomes a moot point when it's so hot that when I try to leave the house all the moisture in my body immediately jets off my head in a plume of superheated steam.

I suppose there's been quite a lot going on over the last month or so and I just never got round to sitting down and talking about it.

On Sunday I met up with John and Glenn and we went to some laugh-a-minute war exhibition in the Harris Museum in Preston.

While some of the events I saw coming did happen, they were just plot points in the episode rather than the basis of a cliffhanger like I'd suspected.

Cue a following day of reading comments on Prestone about how it was "the best gig ever" :(Oh well, I expect I'll survive. I suppose if I had gone I may have even walked away feeling a bit underwhelmed by all the awe evinced by everyone else. I tend to do that with gigs a bit. I like gigs. The concept of them, that is.

There was a slightly weird mix of people ranging from apparently random teenage college kids to elderly family members, I guess me and Paul were somewhere in the middle.

So I guess that's probably my brief flirtation with musicmaking dead in the gutter then. Ah well.

Poor Sian may be dead in a ditch on route to her dad's, I think she had about an hour's sleep before having to get up in the morning to drive there. As for me I staggered home and went to sleep at about 7am, but then didn't resurface till 2pm.

You can see some exciting photos here. Had a nice evening out with Dean, at one point we went to a bar that had been converted from a bank and still had the big vault door thing down in the toilets. Actually it was in the ladies toilets, though I got to see it thanks to the lackadaisical attitude to toilet-signage the Dutch seem to have.

Cybertv has picked up a bit recently, although the ever-lovely BSG has stopped for some sort of weird mid-season holiday, there's a bunch of new stuff that I'm currently enjoying - the second seasons of Lost and Veronica Mars plus the final one of West Wing.

I think he came to visit this weekend to get away from his usual drinking habits, instead he was caught on a tidal wave of gaudy cocktails with the rest of us. A trip to the Revolution for lunch with Sian and Dave on Saturday stretched out to an afternoon that gradually sucked in other people including Paul, Christian, Julie and Steve.

Well, Paul's party was a laugh. Kind of old school, in a sitting-around-drinking-probably-ending-up-looking-like-a-dick way.

On Friday night we went into Preston for a meal at Pizza Express. The pizza was nice, though the service was a bit dire. It's only the third time I've had bruschetta as a starter, I've decided it's a winner! Hmm, as it is basically a piece of bread with some vegetables on it I guess that makes it a breadwinner.

For a while it was a solid Smallville+Enterprise (+other random things) every week. Then they ended but we started on the 5th season of West Wing instead. But when that ran out the TV dried up a bit. However the last couple of weeks has seen it kick back in again with the new seasons of Smallville and Enterprise.

Saturday was pretty monstrous as I spent a solid twelve hours from morning to evening alternating between packing stuff, moving boxes, cleaning stuff, and going back to packing again. Well, at least it's all done now. Though my room is actually still full of boxes of books. I've managed to make a sort of corridor between them to get to my bed.

It was okay. I enjoyed it, so at least it wasn't a disappointment. It was nice to see how faithful they'd generally stayed to the comics (especially Hellboy himself, Ron Perlman was spot on). It just didn't really excite me at any point. I guess I'm going to compare any comic-adaptation I see from now on to Spiderman 2, which was of course the mutt's Liamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08433343041511300943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3014188.post-1094630548997830552004-09-08T09:01:00.000+01:002004-09-08T09:02:28.996+01:00PENGUIN DAY!Liamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08433343041511300943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3014188.post-1094207041121811712004-09-03T11:23:00.000+01:002004-09-03T11:24:01.120+01:00You are Debaser!

I keep meaning to making a long post and then not getting round to it, then putting off making short posts.

A beautiful girl asked me if I was okay, I couldn't speak so just grinned at her. She nodded and walked off, into the rest of her life.

I was very sad because I stayed up late last night writing down all my ideas for what I would do if I had my own Ink Jet printer.

I had a fun time though the game did go on a bit. The event cards in the game add a random factor that makes it a lot more interesting than it would be otherwise.

What an ace film. I liked how Michel Gondry got to do his freaky visual tricks, and Charlie Kaufman got to do his freaky plotting tricks, but neither seemed to be a gimmick that stood out in the film.

While it's usually a bit wank, photos like this make me nostalgic and think I should go again in the vaguely near future.
We're going to see Franz Ferdinand in Liverpool on Thursday, which I'm quite excited about. I got even more excited when I found out they're being supported by the ace Fiery Furnaces.

The idea is you're making the soundtrack for the movie of your life, so you have to pick a song for each major event. The events being -

Well, I was moderately pissed, Dave and Christian were both a fucking mess. Dave got insanely enthusiastic about Nintendo games, which was quite cute, though I had to leave the room at one point because the Super Monkey Ball music was actually giving me an intense headache.

The more noticeable activities include getting trapped in the toilets at work for ten minutes, and spilling a saucepan full of food over Dave's kitchen floor. Oh, and maybe breaking his fridge as well (ssshh, he doesn't need to know).

Yes, it's going to be one of those kind of posts.
Anyway, I was just thinking of how we've tried playing games on other message boards in the past. Invariably with failure, but I think that was due to a lack of commitment in the players or the ref or both, rather than a necessary flaw in the methodLiamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08433343041511300943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3014188.post-1079308626885327022004-03-14T23:57:00.000Z2004-03-15T00:00:17.153ZTwo noteworthy things that people have pointed out on Nexus this weekend.
First is this which Paul found, which almost made me cry. Rude words still have this magical power over me, I love seeing people swear.
Then there's the new Okkervil River message board which Marie rooted out, which is cool.
