Technological Exploits...

Sooo, iv had a rare couple of days off work and have been pottering about the flat (also playing 'Rise of the Argonauts', its pretty good but i suspect its also pretty short)
but earlier today my mate sent me the link to the new 'Where The Wild Things Are' trailer, ive been looking forward to this film ever since i heard it was going to be made, and even more so when i found out Spike Jonze was making it. so anyway heres the new trailer, its so good i nearly weed myself!


...also today i pre-ordered my copy of the Ghostbusters game, it has been a good day all in all

Spotify...

this is a great little program you can download for free, its a kind of itunes-esque setup, but because you cant buy stuff off of it you can listen to full songs and albums, anything in its database. theres some pretty obscure stuff on there too.

my particular favourite part of the program i thing is the best is the internet radio mode, it lets you give it a few specifications, genres, era etc and then shuffles the tunes from its library within your criteria.

its a great little ap that doesnt take up too much space on the hard-drive , it works fine on a mac, and its bloody free so go check it out!

My flatmate vs WoW...

i cant pretend to understand how these mmo games work, or why people seem to be so inclined to spend all their free time playing them. there does seem to be bloody millions of them so maybe im in the wrong on this subject, my flatmate however is one of those thoroughly in the other camp!

as i have already mentioned i know nothing of the workings of WoW, or even how to play it, but it seems to me its just him sitting on a chair clicking on little tiles at the bottom of the screen and lots of health bars trying to keep other players (who are seemingly doing something) from dying. 
also he assures me hes quite good at it but i am yet to see proof, he has tried to tell me hes level something or other, but all i see is him repeatedly running around as a ghost attempting to find is body!

this does not strike me as being a fun game.

Snippets...

Heres a few little bits and pieces i screen grabbed from the old blog






this is the general gist of things

An assortment of pictures from my phone...



 this is one of my all time favorite signs


someone sent this to me, apparently its from the guardian

me and Jason had a can of this the other day, its one of the most terrifying colours iv ever seen in a food product



this was by my old flat in dalston, its great


this was put up by staff at the post office near my old work in kentish town


im not quite sure how this happened


Anyhow i was clearing out my phone and a few pics made me chuckle so i thought id share.



Getting to know oneanother...

so anyway thanks for taking the time out to look over what im writing, i dont claim to have anything profound to say but id like to think i can be interesting at times.

so heres a few things about me: 
  • i spend a great deal of my time hunting out and collecting deleted vinyl
  • i read whenever i have a spare moment, books are a passion 
  • i like very little better than sitting with a nice glass of scotch and some good company watching films
  • sandwiches play a very large part in my life
  • i still have a fairly juvenile sense of humor

these things will be pretty much the entirety of this blog, ill do my best to make it a decent read




Hello and Welcome...

so i had my old blog running through my old myspace account, as i havent been into myspace for a while i decided to restart it here.

once i figure it all out ill import some of the more interesting stuff from the old one into this one and hopefully it wont all be rubbish.
