Have you ever read something in email or on a message board or somewhere that just didn’t compute. I can’t think of the right word for it. Its not that it doesn’t make sense its not even on that level. The words just don’t see to actually make it into your brain to then try and make sense. It’s like its blank and there was nothing there and you scroll back up and try again?
I am at a loss for words and not just a little embarrassed.

Nirvana really were one of the greatest bands of the 90’s. They are the soundtrack for the weekend kicking off now with the classic Unplugged.
When I title my posts, it is usually a pop culture reference of some sort which at the time either holds some meaning for me or is something which just caught my fancy. (The page title works exactly the same way except that it has a lot more of a meaning for me). Most of the time it’s a lyric from a song I’m listening to or I’ve heard recently. I really wish that I could type something in there to capture a piece of music. Right now when I type this I’m listening to Nirvana’s All Apologies and I want it to be the soundtrack while you read this. I want the song to match the post and the post to match the song. The title of this song is the first 8 seconds of the guitar strum at the start of All Apologies.
Yesterday was one of the lads in work birthday. It was also pay day. This combined left me with a fucker of a hangover this morning. However last night was a really great night out. I had a long chat with a friend who in the past 18 months or so I’ve not talked to much. Not for any reason other than we were never out together or had the chance. It was really good and I was very glad to talk to her for a while and catch up on stuff. This was kinda a trend for the night, a lot of sitting around the pub chatting. It was all very good. I do need to go and find my phone and charge it.
I am also very pleased to report that CSI and CSI:Miami are returning next week. w00t! (or something)
Another thread on another forum had an interesting thought which is something that has been going on lately with some people. At what point do you know your friends well enough and indeed do they know you well enough to refer to them using words that are in themselves offensive? Hmm ok I have no idea how to keep going on that one so I’ll just leave it as a standalone question.
Just fucking do it.
Yes, yes I know. It’s not that simple. Nothing ever is, as much as I wish it were.
There is a smallish thread going on over at the V about this weeks comics. As I am getting mine this afternoon I am so very much looking forward to the reading this will entail. Especially as one of the first things said to me last night was that Ellis’ Hellblazer: Haunted was excellent and I must read it. Which I fully intend to later today. Oh and I think its time for some more Invisibles
This is the cover for Orbiter. A hardcover OGN by Warren Ellis and Colleen Dorancoming from DC Vertigo in early summer. It is a large image and I wouldn’t normally post something this big but man is it pretty!
I was going to be picking this up and I was somewhat sure I was going to get it in hardback. This has ensured that I will 100% be getting the hardback. The cover is now my wallpaper in work where my screen can do it some justice.
My flatmate comes back today or tomorrow. This of course means I have some cleaning to do. Gah, I’ve done some of it, gotta take all the empty beer bottles and cans down to the recycling bins on the way to the shops.
Been invited out for some more drinks tonight but right now I don’t think that would be good. I suspect a night in reading would be good. I borrowed a couple of DVDs from Iain (Boogie Nights and Romeo and Juliet) and want to watch them. I may throw in a bout of depression aswell.
Also I HAVE to get some batteries so I can get my camera going again. As I have found the cable and have plenty of webspace I need to start actually putting some effort into it.
Oh that reminds me. Over exposure. Sometimes when I have been listening to music for a long time there comes a point where it is too much. It’s not physically painful to listen to more, but it is mentally painful. There has come points where I have pulled my headphones off because I simply can’t listen to another second. Its not even when I’m listening to the same album over and over, its whatever it is. I’ve noticed it a little more recently and I wonder what it is. Related to that I need some new music. I shall have a look in town later this afternoon. Not sure what I want, I kinda feel like something light but I have a stronger urge for something indie and maybe a little darker.
The New York Times has an article running about a project in place to put Wi-Fi on Mount Everest. How fucking cool is that? (via BoingBoing).
I had not intended to blog yesterday. I wanted to leave the thoughts in the long post (two back) right there at the top. It contains some stuff that is on my mind a lot and I wanted to keep it fresh. But it didn’t happen, there was some stuff going on and I wanted to write it down.
Right going out to get stuff now.
