Had a really good debate/discusion (with Ryan and Fabian) on MSN last night on the subject of the Scientific Method versus Intuition (I’d say mysticism except Ryan would get upset ;-), caves, AD&D phase systems and the relative cuteness/hotness of Jorja Fox. It may be an evil product of Micro$oft, but MSN rocks! 😀

Stray Ponies and Puffins
Still haven’t got enough time/sleep to make a proper entry, but I just have to say that Tropical Iceland by the Fiery Furnances is the best song I’ve heard since The Electric Version came out.
Go listen to it. You won’t regret it.
Heresy!
OK people, he wrote some decent songs but Kurt Cobain was not that great. Certainly he wasn’t great enough to justify the wholesale grief and hooha surrounding the tenth anniversery of his suicide today. Hell, he wasn’t even great enough to justify the wholesale grief and hooha surrounding his suicide in the first place. Teen Spirit is a good song – but it ain’t the anthem of my generation damnit!
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
I planned to make a lengthy entry today. In fact I planned to do quite a few things today. Unfortunately I haven’t really been able to do much. This is down to a combination of two things.
1) The play I saw last night (which I shall write about in due course) which meant I didn’t get home until 11:00pm (oooo! so late! 😉
2) The alarm (house? shop? car? I dunno) down the street that went off at 11:30pm and wasn’t turned off until about 6:00am.
The problem with the alarm wasn’t volume, as long as it’s dark I can sleep through almost anything (as living at this place has proved ;-). It was the fact that instead of going “beeeeep beeeeep beeeeep” continuously, it would go “beeeeep beeeeep beeeeep” for about ten seconds, then pause for ten seconds, then start up again. It’s impossible to sleep through that because as soon as it stops you lie there hoping it’s stopped for good but waiting for it to start up again. Which it does.
I think I got about an hour of fitful dozing (featuring some very odd dreams about the Baldwin brothers) in during the entire night. Then, when it finally stopped at about 6:00am I fell into a deep and dreamless slumber that lasted until almost 12:00.
Even then I was still dead tired, but the light and noise outside was too much to sleep through.
So, I’ve had a very truncated day. And not done a lot. And I have to go to work tomorrow. *sigh*
I’ll write more when I’ve had some sleep 🙂
