I’m listening to The Complex by the Blue Man Group streaming from AOL’s Listening Party. I was looking for something new yesterday and ended up browsing around the US music area. The name jumped out as someone I had heard of but never heard. So I had a little listen and it’s excellent. I suspect I shall pick this up when it hits the shops over here.

I’ve quite a shameful gap in my knowledge which really got to me last night. We were chatting in the pub and a new policy which I have yet to read specifically forbids discrimination against Israel, the Welsh and a third country no-one could remember. Yes, you read that right, the Welsh. Ignoring that one, I don’t know anything about the Middle East Situation. I know nothing at all about it. Monday’s West Wing had a subplot about a map of the Middle East drawn in 1709 which the President wanted to hang in the West Wing. A number of people told him he could not. As the map was drawn before Israel existed, it did not have Israel on it. This would apparently offend a lot of people. I didn’t get it. I still don’t. I remember someone telling me the Beeb have a really good timeline for the entire conflict and a quick google did bring it up. I shall have to sit down and read it.

The last two episodes of Angel were pretty dire. I’ve heard the next one gets better but not really too rushed to go and watch it. Saying that I more than likely will later tonight.

Battle of the blog builders. Now this sounds very interesting. The Six Apart announcement and lastly, Typepad. I’ve just signed up and can easily see myself joining this on the first round.
