I just heard Arrested Development’s Mr Wendal and realised that the lyric is
Mr Wendal, a man, a human in flesh
But not by law.
I always thought it was
Mr Wendal, a man, a human in flesh
But not for long,
like Mr Wendal was about to die because he was old and living on the street.
I think I prefer the actual lyric.

“HEY! Get-get-get-get-get over it.”
– OK Go
Hearing this song for the first time in maybe five years just made me incredibly happy.
To begin with, I thought it was a TV On The Radio song, because of the handclaps (but I can’t think of which song off the top of my head), so there may be a shock factor in there as well.

Listening to The Clash’s first abum (Complete Control is playing at the moment) reminds me of playing Driver on the PlayStation during my second year at university.
I don’t know why. As far as I know, it wasn’t an album I listened to especially at the time. No more than I still do anyway.
But goddamn, Driver was an awesome game.

Make the pipecleaner doll dance.
I’ve been grinning like a loon for the last 30 minutes because of this.

Fuck off
no I won’t do your gay little survey. We provide the content without which David and his chums couldn’t get fucking herpes, never mind another round of funding. I think that’s enough unpaid labour for one day, don’t you?

That Little Red Light
Every time I’m heading back to my desk from a meeting (who am I kidding, I don’t get invited to meetings) or lunch, I slow down as I’m rounding the corner because I CRINGE to see that little red light lit up on my phone. I hate retrieving voicemails almost as much as I hate talking on the phone. I’d like to change my work voicemail message so it says “This is Lauren Farmer. I’m obviously not...

Top 5
You know, I was just wondering what the top 5 most played artists of all the people I follow was last week. Not enough to actually go and visit their last.fm pages; just enough to watch it stream by in my Tumblr dashboard, where I hope to see lots of interesting content, creative things, and automatically imported feeds from social networks!
Thanks guys!

It’s 11.30 pm, I’ve got work tomorrow for the first time after a two-week break, and Amistad, which is one of those films that you feel compelled to watch (and which is 2 1/2 hours long), has just started on TV.
Tomorrow is going to suck.

Martian Skies →
Alan Taylor collects over a dozen photos of the Martian landscape and atmosphere, each one remarkable and surreal.

I love the photo with the second probe and its parachute.

Rainburn
Yesterday was a really nice day. I got a bit of sunburn on my arm from sitting outside for a couple of hours, and I was still comfortably wearing a t-shirt outside at 3am.
Today, I’ve been awake for six hours, and it has been raining the entire time. Not just normal rain, but proper, hammering-down rain, where you can’t understand how there can be so much moisture in the sky.
Sucks.

I was just walking home along the street and a maybe 10 year old kid came cycling up the road. He was giving it dixie on his bike, like he was trying make a personal best time to the end of the road or something.
As he was getting nearer, I held out my left hand for a high five and he got a big grin on his face, completed the high five and then yelled “Come On!” and picked up the...

New food!
I get a ridiculously big kick out of opening new containers of food, whether it’s cereal, instant coffee, ketchup, butter, pasta sauce, booze, etc.
It just seems to taste so much better.

Sonic just scared me
I just kicked a hedgehog outside our house, but not on purpose. I heard a rustling and went to walk round the corner to investigate and my left foot hit something bristly.
I screamed “Fuck!” in a really manly, high-pitched way as I jumped away and then when I looked back, I could just make out this little ball of spines in the moonlight.
I went to take a photo with my phone but then...
