things you didnt even know you needed
Right I have no idea WTF is going on but I’ve just been hit with a load of stuff about leggings on flickr which made me laugh. See Why @
Cheers to cheap clothes rule for the links.
Am just about to run home and change from my Wolverine costume into my dead Elvis: white suit, wings, wig and glasses and throught I should post some cool costumes. I hasten to add I just won an award purely because my skin tight Wolverine costume revelaed more than I remembered it did.
God its almost Halloween. Which no doubt will necessitate me getting dressed and getting right royally pissed. Last year was a complete farce of an evening - I drank too much beer, too much whisky and lost the head when the party I was at was attended by folk I didn’t like. So this year I am being trooped out to some godless hellhole to be paraded about like a court jester.
I wish
Last night I got an email from some nutter claiming because I put up pics of what I consider to be cute girls I am sexist. OK the idiot didnt quite claim that I was causing trichotillomania or bulimia but I got the impression that if they hadn’t pressed send when they did it was going to come up.
So I thought I better make a post just to say that this blog isn’t sexist. It may not be to everyones tastes (if it were I’d be shocked). Anyway here’s todays pic, its from one of the latest photosets at last nights party.
Yep the worlds gone absolutely, stone cold, fucking mental. You know Scottish Oatcakes biscuits made using butter, oats, salt and an oven. Its a simple mix and bake recipe. And you can add various bits and pieces such as cheese, chilli, herbs etc to change the flavour. But in essence they’re still oatcakes you just add some flavours.
The geniuses (may be genii) who design/market/produce Patersons Oat bits have added a new logo to show every one that their fucking oat cakes are now Orang-utan friendly! I kid thee not.
Have now got an iPhone - have spent years refusing to buy anything by Apple. I own a Sony Connect player rather tahn an iPod, I use a PC rather than a Mac, I’ve balked at using iTunes and instead always relied on Microsofts Media Player or WinAmp for my music but I’ve succumbed and got an iPhone. And its fucking fantastic - ubiquitous computing gone good. I really should have paid more attention in those leactures about it at university - I had hangovers to deal with instead and these were always far more pressing than combining a phone with a music device.
Has anyone else read the book/graphic novel/comic (call it what you want), Lost Girls? I got it a while back and just got round to reading about it. I’m a big fan of Alan Moore - I love Watchmen (soon to be a movie - Watchmen trailers here).
Anyway ‘Lost Girls’ is pretty much smut boxed up as art. Nice if you like that kinda thing. Basically it takes charcters from literary history and sexualises them. So Wendy (Peter Pan), Dorothy (Wizard of Oz) and Alice (Through the looking Glass) take us on a strange erotic journey. Book ones good and sets up the story lines effectively, book two loses its way and is pretty much just pornography in comic book form and book three closes the story lines off effectively.
Did you ever listen to ‘Radio Indie Pop‘. If not it’s too late. As it appears to have done the way of the betamax video. Its died and looks unlikely to air again. Indie pop radio was a free online radio station where you selected the kind of music you wanted to listed to based upon the day of the week: Monday was chilled out and relaxing music to break you into the week whereas Friday and Saturday were more aggressive and designed to get you into the mood for going out for the weekend. And to add to it all they had an eigth choice - Ramones Radio. The Ramones 24/7. Which is an idea of complete genius.
I also used to use Pandora but thats US listeners only now - so that’s fooked as well.
