– Prompted by some recent discussion on the V, I’m re-reading Watchmen. It really is a stunning piece of work.

– I feel the urge to read Dark Knight Returns again despite reading it just a couple of weeks ago. In a highly nerdy move I was looking through it last night so I could get a battle cry for CoH…I warned you it was nerdy. Were pages from it every on sale I wonder?

– There was some power levelling on CoH over the weekend. I pretty much skipped level 18, two attempts at a Synapse TF which failed due to people leaving got me well levelled and a good chunk into 19. Realising I was still playing going on 7 hours later put a big stop in that and I went to the park to read and play with the dog. Weather was nice, so the view was nice and it was a pleasant couple of hours.

– Saw King Arthur last night. It was fun, much better than I expected and the cast were excellent. I’m now far more sold on Ioan Gruffudd being able to pull off Reed Richards. Ray Winstone, as ever the man.

– Again, via the V: Pop Quiz. 200 lyrics to match to song and artist. Score so far and counting 253. Sent it around the office at lunchtime and got a lot more people in on it. I will break and head to Google soon…or just open the answer sheet.

– Saturday evening, off to the Ben Crouch for tintintin’s birthday where there was much amusement about with Cobweb getting handcuffed to the table (guilty as charged) and then being sat on by Bee-loving little comment slag! for some time. Other comedy includedMcKelvis in locking’s dog collar, shame the photo did not come out better. After that was off to Thirst, thanks to budgie_uk’s directions (after a ‘comedy’ “we were following you” moment) along with Sandi, Neil (get a LJ Neil!) and ciaranmcnulty for drinks till late. Then we ended up in some club which played decent music but rather disturbingly had comic posters all over the wall including several Greg Horn pieces. A good night, light on the drinking compared to the usual and much good conversation.

– Why did all of the random strangers (6 of them!) over the weekend who came up to talk to me about my Pixies t-shirt have to be male? Not even a sign of a nice young girl. Two bartenders tho, but Nick wasn’t around to take advantage.

– Not that you noticed but the post was just interrupted for massage time. I feel so much better, as it happens today included a head massage and man it feels good.

– With a bit of luck there will be a gig this coming weekend. Neck are playing somewhere around Kings Cross and awatson and I shall be off along. They were damn good fun at Glastonbury and I’d like to see em again.

– I really should go back to reading through PRD’s this afternoon. I do like skimming through to the pictures but that’s not always good enough.

– Also, yay macros! Semagic is working out quite nicely.

Now back to the lyrics crack.
