Well, the final indignity in the months of poverty is that the Phoneline to our house has been completely cut off, leaving me with no phone or internet. For the last few days I’ve felt completely isolated, unable to contact any friends, waiting for one of them to contact me. I can snatch the odd [...]

Went to finally go see SUperman Returns last night, and was so increadibly delighted by it that I couldn’t stop talking about it for hours afterwards. Brilliantly shot, written, performed and directed. Brandon Routh just is Superman. Other than that, not a lot to report really, just watching the news and the escalating middle east [...]

Finally got hold of the American Office this weekend, which I believe may actually be as good as the British version, Steve Carrell’s excellent performence the centre of an extremely likeable and funny show. Who knew? Other than that, this week has been mostly Superman films and Lynyrd Skynyrd albums. Which can’t be a bad [...]

It looks as though the whole sorry Israeli invasion of Gaza may be coming to an end. I hope so. It’s quite pitiful how little I am doing with my Saturday evening. I’m going to watch ‘When Harry Met Sally’ soon, for the first time in years. I hope it holds up to my memory [...]

If there’s anyone else out there awaiting the new stuff as eagerly as I, go check out their MySpace for an excellent brand spanking new track, featuring Scott Kelly from Neurosis on guest vocals. It’s beeny good.

It’s possibly a tad embarrassing as a self pronounced sci-fi nerd to admit that the current series of Doctor Who has passed me by without a glance, mainly because my housemates hate it and I can never be bothered to argue the point. So imagine my glee this evening apon their announcement of decampment to [...]

I normally wouldn’t talk ill of the newly deceased, but in Ken Lay’s case I’ll make an exception. It seems the man who can weasel out of pretty much anything has weaseled out of his corruption charges for the final time. Next, Karl Rove. Another thing that’s depressing me recently is the lack of depth [...]

My room is akin to a sauna. i have the window open, which seems not so much to be cooling the place down but instead inviting every bug in York into my room. My total ‘net inaquacies are shrinking. I now fully understand the whole RSS thing for the first time, and have aquired a [...]

I’ve just re-read my post from last night. Oh dear. Apologies to anyone who has read it, which at the moment is zero, so that’s Ok. I would go back and fix it, but it entertains me to have it there at the moment. Duncan is leading me through how to build an uber-cheap PC [...]

Imagine my surprise in the wee small hours of the morning when, cruising the intolerable hell-hole that is MySpace, I should stumble across what is either the most cheesy piece of marketing ever, or some bored staffer inside Bryan Singer’s office fooling around. Yes, that’s right, Superman has an official MySpace page. As too do [...]
