yeah, fix you too
Now playing: the Coldplay discography. Because I can. Also because some of the tracks are ok and I had it on my hard disk anyway. Yes, I’m hastily back pedalling from my previously defiant sounding stand, but if it makes it any better; there is also some Travis in there. I’ve listened to Sing half a dozen times thus far, but that might just be Winamp’s dodgy random track math rather than a conscious preference on my part.
Wait. It can’t be the discography because I don’t have the entire Parachutes album. Never mind then. I’m sure some preference model can be built up based on what’s on my Winamp playlist these days - not so much of the usual trance, house stuff since I’m (*sob*) not doing a lot of coding. These days it’s all about the jangly guitars and pianos of Travis, Coldplay and U2. Regrettably, there’s also some James Blunt in there. And some Level 42. And some other stuff like that. Yeah. I just said that on the tubes. I fully expect a Googling in 10 years will come back to haunt me like an old archived political flamewar or four.
I’d bitch more about Kottu’s feed breaking yet again; yet I can’t be bothered. Er. Well, actually considering that I spent about 10 minutes of my life thinking about how to route around the damage of an invalid XML feed yet again, I suppose I can rant a bit. I’m not entirely sure why dodgy chars like & and < aren’t escaped in the feed though. Whenever Kottu encounters one of said dodgy chars, it just seems to crumble like Eddo Brandes crumbles biscuits. (Do I get points for obscurity? I hope not).That’s … as a certain well built character in a TV serial would say … messed up, dude.
I have two more documents to produce and then I can do something fun for a change. Not entirely sure what constitutes my current idea of fun yet, but maybe I’ll chance the Charlie on a Saturday night or something. That should be eventful, if not entirely fun in the conventional sense. Maybe watching neighbourhood farmers pour vast quantities of beer down their necks will amuse me.
Meh. Fix this.

I’m assuming the Brandes sideshot refers to that cricket sledge…”everytime I f$%*k your mother she feeds me a biscuit”? (remembered you dont like swearing)

Co25: No, it is not that I do not like it… I certainly haven\’t got a problem with swearing either. I just never seem to have gotten into the habit. Well, not yet anyway. This just applies to me and certainly not to anyone else
There is absolutely no need to use dodgy punctuation and do anything of the sort. And yes, you got the Brandes thing exactly right 
sage: Bwahahaha. We are all collectively guilty! Bwahahahaha. Is that loser ChrisD on the list?

We’ll have less of the derogatory remarks about baldy, thank you very much. He lost because America was not ready for his sacrifice to take us higher with his arms wide open.

Boobies FTW. That is all. Thank you.
sage, you wouldn’t understand. It’s a guy thing. *chortles*
Also, elric.. those repeated Creed namechecks sounded vaguely like squeaky chalk on a blackboard. I may listen to Level 42 and Huey Lewis and the News, but there are limits.

nothing wrong with Huey Lewis
I justify the Creed songs on the basis they remind me of Kreb’s Cycle and I don’t really perceive them as songs by Creed.

it’s amazing how this blog never fails to deviate from boobies for too long. though, we haven’t had a beer post for a painfully noticable period of time eh?

Boobies are important, very much so.
And yes, I need to actually go drink some new and interesting beer. Haven’t had the time, unfortunately.
