Musings on a world I am no longer sure about

This is my monthly update

Sunday October 25th, 2009 at 9:15am

I may blog later about corrupt politicians (all of them) as naivety is annoying me. For now, make do with a little cassetteboy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QAvkFS_cgk

Watched Coraline in 3d yesterday. The BD I bought comes with 4x 3d glasses. I was most impressed! Nice story too.

Also watched the Wrestler. Shocked to find the film was shot on a budget of $6m. Beautiful, bleak story. Still not a patch on R4AD and weak in parts, but I likes it.

Made a pie out of a huge pile of vegetables and a cake tin. A HUGE pie. Half of it is still in the fridge, and this is after myself and Liam have been near it, so as you can imagine, I’m not overexaggerating the width of the thing.

Work is interesting at the moment. The work we’re doing is very cool, but where we seem to be headed is less cool. We’ll see how we do.

It’s all gotten a bit chilly. And I have a cold. Which is not fun. So, in the last week, I’ve launched Windows 7 (even though all anyone seemed to want to use it for was to look at dubious websites), I’ve tried gluhwein, I’ve hugged a meat baby, I’ve warped Toby and Andy’s minds with Jam, I’ve munched special pizza, I’ve gotten a cab to buy fags, I’ve stayed up until the sun comes up and I’ve gotten my internet fixed.

I need a holiday somewhere warm. What’s hell like this time of year?

Lyrical meanings part 1: Suzanne Vega.

Lyrical meanings part 1.

Marlene on the Wall, by Suzanne Vega.

Marlene watches from the wall

Her mocking smile says it all

As she records the rise and fall

Of every soldier passing

Suzanne Vega had a poster of Marlene Dietrich on her wall in her bedroom watching over her “soldiers” conquering her. Popstars really are dirty birdies.

Tactical blogging

Wednesday October 14th, 2009 at 19:51pm

My cunning plan to get some of the new freakcity blogging stuff finished has failed spectacularly on account of me discovering I have no internets in Berlin, somehow. So I can’t upload any pics from O’bash or do anything exciting until it’s finished. Bah!

Busy at work, back again this weekend for my windows7 launch party/moving in party, don’t really have too much more to talk about than that. Liam is still cancer free and my grandfather, whilst not quite entirely well yet is on the mend. And I’m blogging from my phone, so sorry about any typos. : P www.freakcity.net/scott/2009/10/ if you want to see a preview of the new blogs : )
