CERN Big Bang

The Times, Caitlin Moran

"Along with Doctor Who and Cardigan Bay and flapjacks, this makes me proud to be British. We're utterly wet and a weed. Hurrah! I like the fact that - without ever talking about it - we all decided we didn't, actually, want to survive the Apocalypse. Because, yes, we'd be alive - but in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, full of buff, shouting American survivalists. The British are only into living so long as it's civilised and pleasant. As soon as we have to poo in a hole and lose reception of BBC4, we're quite happy to become extinct. We are not into all this forceful, effortful, yippy, yappy, living-and-winning-at-any-cost stuff. We don't want ripped, renegade leaders, like Gerard Butler in 300, shouting, “Tonight, we dine in Hell!” We want someone who is, ultimately, very good at accounts, shouting, “Tonight, we dine in the dining room!”

And indeed, wanting a slightly anaemic-looking accountant as leader seems to be the watermark of all peaceful, civilised countries...'"

This is slightly off because I decided I didn't want to eat meat at the age of 6. The last few months I've been "experimenting" eating meat but nothing has had the wow factor yet.

Here's the cut and pasted blurb and then my answers:

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you've eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.

God rest his fishy soul (or that should be sole? BOOM TISH!)

You are Emo

Emos are underrated. It's not easy balancing introspection with a childlike delight in life. You look so pretty that people always think you're nothing but a new-wave teenager who takes photos of things, but they're wrong, and can't see past the hair. You notice what's happening around you - you just choose when you want to interact with the world, or not. Let them laugh - they still end up asking if they can download your amazing mp3 collection.

Yep, I know...check out what you are here at this lovely site that I like to frequent.

LOL ! ROFL!
Yes, I realise that I should be working!

Lunchtime Timewasting

New Laptop

Shiny, shiny new laptop - I'm reminded of my old new media lecturer who spent a large majority of his time rubbing his laptop in the most sensual way imaginable. I can't keep my hands off this beautiful thing...

Let's play the Horatio Caine quote game!

It goes like this: take a famous quote and insert a pause to put on sunglasses. For example:

Because that is where (pause put on sunglasses) we will spend the rest of our lives.
Nobody expects (pause put on sunglasses) the Spanish Inquisition.

Who's first?

Too cute for words...

My young man is away for a whole week. We've spent a lot of this summer apart with me away on various work projects but being in another bed/tent seems to be much easier than being in our bed alone. I went to bed alone and woke up alone; feeling rather sorry for myself. Then, this morning this CD arrived:With a lovely note "for you to listen to when you is snugglez in bed x"

I'm really looking forward to going to bed tonight now!

Save The Cheerleader, Save The World

I have become obsessed with Heroes - it has everything I need - comic book looks, humour, genetics, good guys, bad guys, mixed up guys, the unbearably adorable Peter Petrelli with that amazing fringe that he keeps having to sweep out of his eyes, a bitchy cheerleader, geeks, losers, sex, drugs, special effects, characters linked together in ways that they don't know about but we do...I actually clapped and laughed out loud during so many parts last night - Hiro Nakamura is so cool. He embraces his superpowers with such child like enthusiasm that you can't help get pulled into the joy. Also seeing him from the future makes him even more interesting - how does he get from office worker geek to ninja supremo?

I can't wait until next Wednesday!

"I wish my lawn was emo, then it would cut itself"

I just snorted coffee out of my nose...
