So infatuation. I saw something on the web recently which got me thinking. Perhaps this is a better word:
\ncrush
\n2 informal a brief but intense infatuation for someone, especially someone unattainable or inappropriate: she did have a crush on Dr Russell. <\/p>\n
Except in this case, the idea was not limited to people. It was everything. You can have a crush on a book, a cd, a song, a tv show or a film, etc., etc. The listing goes on. It did get me to thinking that I do that a lot. I see a movie, hear a song (or album) or read a book (or comic) and it has that certain something which makes me fall for it. At the moment, Bjork’s Greatest Hits<\/i> has been in my cd player pretty much constantly for over a week and track two Hyperballad<\/i> has been played more than anything else. In a weeks time however, something else will have taken its place. <\/p>\n
It’s just something, crushes come and go (well some stay and will always stay) but it is a good word to apply to passing fancies I guess. I get a new cd and I love it and I overplay it, I crush on it. I get a new Bendis book (shit I think that is actually out now) and I read it and love it: I crush on it. It is a thought I think I shall hold on to.<\/p>\n
And yes of course there are girls too, but ya know thats just a whole other story.<\/p>\n

\nNow Corporations Claim The “Right To Lie”<\/a>
\nThis is um…interesting. It would appear that Nike are due in the US Supreme Court this month to argue that as a company they are entitled to free speech including the right to decieve.
\nThe very concept is out there and I certainly hope to see some sense coming out of America on this one…it would be a nice change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
