Oh, four tuna!

One of the blogs I watch is Amanda Bauer's Astropixie, and from there Phil Plait at Bad astronomy pulled the alternative lyrics to Carmena Burana. Well worth a look, laughter is almost guaranteed.

Less drained, now just slightly culverted.

Much shorter day at work today.
Feeling better and wondering who'll be called in to cover the night shift tonight.

That's it. So to stop this from being the shortest entry ever (after the talk like a pirate day one), have a few youtube clips:







Thanks to Sian and Matt for pointing out the "Torn" one.

Family Guy does the Matrix

Almost sprayed drink all over my laptop.

*edit to add*
I'm going to add this to the last post rather than put this onto the 100th post because I'm vain and I want the hundred to be something REALLY good.

So in addition to the 99th, have a look at both the Nine Inch Nails album ( NiN.com ) for free music, even if you don't like it, download it then delete the recording - think of what you're saying to the recording houses about charging for music if the artist doesn't want it...
Also, listen to Wil Wheaton (Wes Crusher in THG - but don't hold that against him - seriously, he's good!) as the keynote speaker at the PAX 07 meeting from penny-arcade. (Google Pax Wil Wheaton - that's what I did) and listen to his talk. It's worth the time.
Aside from that, Lottie from the base is such a lovely lass, can't see why she thinks of herself as unattractive; wish I could make her believe otherwise (although then she'd never look at a guy like me) but she needs to believe in her own worth and she needs to understand that when she looks into the mirror what she sees is a good thing, not a question mark - as she seems to think she is.
Honestly, she's wonderful, better than the shite she's had to put up with.
Lottie, you're worth better than that arse-hole, give me a call if you can't see how.

Adverts part deux

It's been while since I went to the cinema, and looking at my finances it's going to be a while longer, but up here they have a few different adverts in the trailers. There's an organisation called Project Scotland that is trying to get people to volunteer for stuff. Doesn't sound very interesting yet does it? The thing is their adverts are brilliant. Warning: There's a close up of spider for about 2 seconds near the end.

I want to see teenage wizard transforming spider pirates 3!

It's a shame that these won't get shown down south, Ginger gorilla milky milky sounds just like that line from The Mary Whitehouse Experience.
Oddly enough, went down to London a couple of years ago to see a mate and we went out to watch the November the fifth fireworks on the Thames. His girlfriend and one of her mates were with us and we randomly got talking about the Mary Whitehouse Experience. Was quite a surreal moment.

Leave, or holidays for the rest of the world...

Wine is a wonderful thing, especially when combined with the knowledge that you haven't got work for almost two weeks. It might seem like a minor thing but I had a bit of time off over Christmas (as the station was shut) but this time I haven't got much driving to do, unless I choose to.

Well, aside from that, today I have fixed the doorbell (ha, I am man, see me do DIY!) and
found links on Youtube for some of the best adverts made (except for the Guiness and Honda ones).
And here they are:
Snowman.
Goth holiday (current one)
and a classic one.

I'm not sure why, but they're not shown down in't far south in Ingerland. Mind you, Coke and Pepsi rank behind Iron Bru in most of Scotland.
