God David Hasselhoff is a legend. I have his ‘Looking For… The Best Of’ album at work, you know for a cheese connoisseur like me, Bryan Adams and Bon Jovi just don’t do it for me sometimes, so I need the hardcore cheese. It is almost impossible to listen to him with a straight face, it’s just so bad – I love it. P.S. If you really want a good laugh, listen to Du, which is his German song. Yes, …
But someone up in our wonderful parliament doesn’t seem to get too technical about things like this. Noon Gun: Fucking Enough Already! The damn thing seems to go off every single time they have anyone to impress, which is about once a month on average. It goes off at about 10am a few times, then at 12. Sometimes it goes off at night too just for good measure. Noon guns must stick to noon, and stop making such a noise …
And so my Doors phase continues… I have honestly been playing that Best Of album to death the last few days. And all that Jim got me thinking about his biography, which I have at home, and the Doors movie… and Val Kilmer. So, this is the thing – I used to be totally into Val Kilmer, he rocked in Batman, he kicked it in The Saint, he was the Lizard King incarnate in the Doors movie. All good. And …
“I’m gooooing through chaaaanges….” It’s been another slightly warped day in an increasingly surreal week – today I started off on a fucking amazing note by having my inherited maid Debra start. She is just awesome, she loves my cats (and calls them her babies), and calls me her chicken, she manages to make my flat look super sorted, and she never stops smiling. Coming home at lunchtime to let her out was just the best thing ever, I can’t …
I have been meaning to post this for a while, but keep forgetting and not getting the chance. Luckily, Daniel Johnston is timeless and never fades. It’s very hard to sum up someone like Daniel, but I’ll try. Musically, Daniel is somewhere between Johnny Cash (fucking awesome version he’s done of NIN’s Hurt here, sjoe) and Tom Waits, but he has made all his albums totally low-tech. His incredibly beautiful and hectic lyrics come from a very dark place indeed, …
Your ballroom days are over, baby Night is drawing near Shadows of the evening crawl across the years Ya walk across the floor with a flower in your hand Trying to tell me no one understands Trade in your hours for a handful dimes Gonna make it, baby, in our prime ~ The Doors – Five to One It’s been a pretty fucked up day really. Hysterical relief at finally getting my deadline done was mixed into payday happiness, the …
“Birdie birdie, here birdie birdie” My brain hasn’t quite comprehended that Monday is almost over, it’s had quite a lot to take in today, and on only 3 or 4 hours sleep, it seems to have lost a bit of perspective. Deadlines have that effect, funny that. Overall though, it was a good weekend – too short as always, and too distant right now, but good nonetheless. It’s just too bad that Monday’s have a way of ruining good weekends, …
I went for a last drink at Lola’s tonight with my sister and our assorted freak freaks, and while it was really just a typical drinks session in every way, at the same time, I couldn’t help but fight back a lump in my throat knowing that she wouldn’t be around for arb nights like this anymore. Sisters are a funny sort of relationship. I know some mates who are fairly close to theirs, others who are as close as …
I was out for a run in the late afternoon heat, looking at my precious mountain as I always do. Today it was in soft focus, like a painting, and I could see my favourite road way up by the cable station, and I wished to hell that I was running on that road rather than on Camp Street. I would have just kept running until I was far, far away from all this everyday crap, and soon nothing would …
…For making my already progressively shitting day complete by putting on soccer in the time-slot for the fucking FINALE of America’s Next Top Model, which I have been looking forward to all day! Ok, it’s not like it’s that hard to watch AC-Milan… But still, it’s the FINALE for chrissake! I really cannot understand why it’s America’s Next Top Model who has to be the fall-boy when there’s soccer on. Why can’t they have it on Mondays, and knock The …
