TrackBack Sucks
TrackBack’s gone. For now. Notwithstanding the fact that it seems wildly unlikely anyone would ping one of my entries, plus the fact that traffic here… Read More »TrackBack Sucks

A Smart Title Eludes Me Today
I might not have been posting, but somehow, the temptation to fiddle around with the site has persisted. I don’t think I’ll ever be as happy with the design of this thing as with other, less personal ones I’ve done.
I’ve removed the short-lived dropdown menus, anyway. I don’t know how to make them validate as XHTML strict, and while I’m using ‘transitional’ right now, I want to feel able to switch if it suddenly seems like a good idea.
I need a new photo, too. The current one is kind of crap, but it’s the most recent I have (last January). I think I’ll wait until I get a haircut, which ought to be soon, because I have a feeling the Ozzy Osbourne style isn’t all that flattering…

Bored and Boring
I am feeling a little disillusioned again. It’s not been a good few weeks, and I can’t help noticing that I’ve largely failed to write anything even slightly interesting on this blog for some time. Depending on how you define interesting, maybe.
Perhaps a break is a good idea. I might feel better when this move is out of the way, but it’s dragging on ridiculously, to be honest. There isn’t any solid reason that it wasn’t more or less finalised a month ago. I’m incredibly bored, and I feel this is making anything I say incredibly boring…

Damned Weather
So the heatwave’s back this week. We’ve been flirting with temperatures around 98 degrees, which is just lovely. Not. Today is the worst yet, and call me a wuss, but I’m having immense difficulty functioning in it.

Moving but Broke
Not mentioned for a while: the house move. Things have gone a bit slower lately, but legally speaking it seems the process is almost done.… Read More »Moving but Broke
Total, Utter Pants
It’s not very often people use the search feature on this site, but yesterday someone did a search for ‘love’ on here, which was quite… Read More »Total, Utter Pants
Seeing Red
Last night’s viewing: Stephen King’s Rose Red, a four-hour television production from 2001. Unlike most King-based films, this is an original script by the man himself, rather than an adaptation of his prose by other hands.

Favourite Sounds
Yep, the promised Top Ten. I hope I’ll get more of a response this time, as no one had anything to say about the last one, which bummed me out. Speak!
TOP TEN SONGS
01. “Heroes” (David Bowie)
The Real Thing
I haven’t mentioned it before, so… in case you didn’t know, Mr. David Bowie is putting out a new album, Reality, in September. Well, I’m excited, anyway! His last album, Heathen, was really good. Not a classic, but a nice piece of work. (Here’s what I thought back then.)

Yeah, I Have Issues
I was quite depressed today. I feel a little better now, but only slightly. The truth is, it’s one thing to take a stand against being manipulated by the government—but being in deep shit financially is another.
I’m in deep shit.
