the Power of Shazam

   
   
Current mood:  geeky
We no longer hve to remember anything a tall. Those old reader's Digest How to books, Encyclopedia Brittanica, shops, all  vapourised by the net. Now the joy of trying to remember a song is gone. An app on the Iphone Shazam means any tune that is playing can be sorted by pointing the phone at it. It downloads the name of the track and band, links to lyrics, youtube, anything you like. Fun but disposable. Everything is quick and disposable.
Except joining Facebook where your ghost lives on forever being recruited into Yo-ville gangbangs and pirate, vampire, mobster, knight assault teams.
2012. Couple more years of pretend living, then onto cyber purgatory. If there is God, He/She is a gamer.

WiiFIt Plus Do or die

Having been very ill and quite sedentary this year, I decided a wiifit plus would be a good present for the house, as I can do it safely without worrying about gym a nazis tuttiing. Its actually good fun and very necessary, it'll be fun to stop the voice going "Oh" when I get on the balance board.
I can recommend it as a good way for the haters of the gym, or those cripped out by MS looking to find a nice safe way of getting fitter. Now all I have to do is stick at it.

The Universe watches

   

We fired stuff at the moon last week. Not to the moon, at the moon, with the hope of a six mile high plume trying to find water. The people that fired it were confused that the plume did not not rise. The moon was not surprised. He/she had spent centuries watching the blood sacks throwing rocks in the air, upset and confused when they came down.
Then gravity was discovered, some still threw rocks. When will they learn thought the moon. The answer seems to be never.
Like a child with a broken toy, we figure out new ways to polish the same old broken rubbish, until it shines a bit, and we can play for a while.
We sent the head of cirque de soleil and his clown show into space, and blasted the moon looking for water. I wonder why first contact has never been made?

Out and about

   

Current mood:  tired
Today, Beth and I went south out of columbus. Just drove looking for farmers markets. Found somewhere which proclaimed itself Amish, turned out to be ropey old tat. Kept going ended up in a town called Mount Sterling. I think it was a town and I think it exists, sort of place you approach out of a fog.
Drove past a place which announced it was open and not much else. We figured i"Probably does lunch" and went in. It was a really cool place, the food was great and the open brick walls gave a clue as to its name, the Brickhouse. Back on the road, ended up in a slightly worrying pumpkin selling place. Bloke was nice, but a bit twitchy in that wear your head as a hat kind of way. Got pumpkins to make pies with, left wearing our own skin. Result all round.
Then went to the North market in Columbus where I unwisely tried popcorn which advertised itself as ultra hot. It was not kidding.  To cool my lavad throat down tried and then bought Thai ice cream from Jeni's. It is fantastic, and I swear the after taste is as if you have just had some Pad Thai. One of the great things about living here is the amazing foods that are knocking about. And the pumpkins. And the skin walker.

Bullshit Averse
Current mood:  angry
Today, I am allergic to listening to political horseshittery. My allergy causes me to physically flinch from whatever box of noise and lights it vomits from. I think its because I see a bunch of toss fucks who try to convince you they cry Jesus tears, and argue that health is based on money. I hate these cunts. I really hate them. They bleed  joy from the world with every crocodilian, bought tear they spill. Of course I'm not the only one watching this money motivated cluster fuck. Good luck explaining this unchristian move to your god, on the off chance he or she is interested in meeting any twat stupid enough to ignore their boys basic message

No means no

Ireland is currently revoting on the Lisbon treaty as the no vote didn't go down that well the first time. Columbus is being asked to revote on having Casino's again, despite the fact the consistent no vote indicates we have all seen Back to the Future 2 and want nothing to do with it. If either of these votes got through I very much doubt we could go back and have another vote as people came to their senses. You can only lose your common sense virginity once, then you have to live in the fetid sweaty mess of what you should have kept out.

The Party of screech.

I don't mind people having parties. Across the road from where I live, people moved in who have plenty of parties. You know when the party is on because drunk girls start screeching. Its not yelling, its a lot more annoying than that. Its the sort of noise you wander past at a lick outside of a pub. They don't even have the decency to be throwing up. The blokes are suspiciously quiet, possibly in shock at the harpys they have created.
By all means drink. By all means drink a lot. Then,throw up, fall asleep and shut the fuck up. Thank you.

Chicago down

   

First round,first vote, Chicago out. Tokyo out. Now down to Rio or Madrid. My bet is Madrid, Beth's is Rio. English radio (radio 5) reported on the stunned disbelief in Daley plaza, which swiftly turned to a discussion of how corrupt and violent Chicago is, and how it was probably best that the Olympics didn't go there. Then reported how life sentences were handed down today to two people who kicked a father to death in Staffordshire. Just as well Staffs didn't make a bid then.

Coma

   
  
Current mood:dusty
It is 4 40pm. My day has been. How best to explain? Imagine the biggest drinking bender you've ever been on, how the next day evaporates and you find yourself dropping in and out of unconsciousness. Take away the head ache, the vomiting and the trots, depending on how far you over guinessed and that is how a change in the weather kicks my MS into a major Rip van Winkel.
Of course, its nice not to be hungover.

First Frost

   

Current mood:awakey maybe....
Category: Life
Yesterday was cold. Really bloody cold. Beth and I went to Athens, to a Farmers Market. One hour and a half, long days journey into carrot. Actually the market was really good and full of earnest students asking the stall holders stuff like "Do you always sell the same thing?" "Nah one week I bring apples from my orchard, next week washing machines."
Ate at a local produce cafe which was excellent, then bought fried chicken livers from a chicken shop where I saw a Wayne Gacy look-a-like order "A pound of livers and a pound of chicken hearts." Probably stopped him stalking the student body for the night, bless.
First frost this morning, knocked my MS into a coma. Pretty now though.
