Drunken Post November

Been a while since I posted whilst getting myself beered up.

Things I noticed just now:

Lovefilm works Saturday. Blockbuster didn't. That's a big plus. Even if I don't see it 'til Tuesday, knowing now what's coming is good. If it manages to show up Monday, all the better.

Forgotten how much I liked Milkdrop. I've not touched weed that much in my life, but I get the feeling Milkdrop would be a good companion.

I love my new lamp. It does exactly what it's supposed to.

Why the hell can't I get into books. I haven't even touched the Boosh book that my friends bought me for my birthday over a week ago. I'm quite sure i'll find what's in it very funny. There is some mental block to picking up the paper.

The IT crowd has managed a third series (or season - the US way makes more sense but this isn't a show that's likely to export). Not bad for a pretty weak premise. Still quite funny. Reliant on talent more than writing, but the talent is there. Chris Morris was still the better boss but Sanch does a reasonable job. Sanch's real name I have no idea of, which I should feel ashamed of as he's also a Boosh cast member from s1.

Speaking of which I should buy Dark Place on DVD.

Breakout is a great song. The Foos are a great band. Some seem to dislike what they're doing now, and that I must admit i've lost track of, but there's very little I don't like at all. I am in the group that actually prefers the stuff from "Lose" to most of the stuff from "Foo" and "Shape", although Monkey Wrench will always be the preferred track overall so can't ignore "Shape". Also like a lot of the stuff on "One" but no idea about anything since. Best of You I swear to any higher being listening was a commercial radio advert jingle on the Chiltern Network some time in the 90's. Wish I could remember what company to prove it.

Wireless mice are great until they need batteries. Then you vow to go back to wires. You never actually do go back to wires though.

I bought cushions about a week ago. I did this despite (and I am about to mention a third UK comedy believe it or not) Steve from Coupling's fantastic rant about the fact that we don't actually sit on them. True, but we do lean on them, and they do add something to my living room. They may or may not be a little off the straight - I can't decide. Other people saw them and didn't comment. Besides which my furniture is so shitty it can't hurt to add a bit of comfort.

My singing voice is worrying me. I always prided myself on pitch in the face of a voice that may not exactly light up a room, but now I notice my voice wavering. Not good. I fucking love to sing, but the worse a person is at it the harder it is to justify doing.

Machine Head. Must see them again live some time. I think that was one of the most impressive gigs I've seen, buy I only saw it once.

It's not hard to see why people drink. It's more than to forget or to get a buzz. It's the sense of self that supposedly shines through. Problem is that if feeling that way all the time wasn't a problem, we probably would do. I doubt I could earn my salary with the mindset I have at this moment. If I could find a way to survive and forgo the salary, maybe I would try it. Unfortunately I also like the home comforts. This throwaway paragraph in a drunken post is actually one of my main struggles. Pathetic struggle if you look at some people's struggles, but at some point it's necessary to stop denying yourself self analysis on the basis that there are people with bigger problems. Even dying kids in deserts aren't the worst off in the world.

Ok that's enough for now. I gotta go outside.
