I left work early today, got straight into bed and passed out until 7pm. I have some weird sinus thing that is doing my head in. I’m hoping that watching the latest Top Gear will make everything all right.

This is a really shitty month for people dying. Farewell, Rufus. I really appreciated your comedy. You and Bill Hicks, man. You were the greatest, and you’re both gone.
Good Enough for me

Watch this clip and compare it to the current batch of pop singers – do any of them come this close to the album live?

I’ve been having a lot of fun fiddling with the Civilization Revolution demo in the last couple of days. I’d guess that most PC gamers have played one of the Civs back in the day, but I only ever played Colonization back on my Amiga. My recollection is that I loved it, so I’m not [...]

I spent all yesterday lifting boxes and bending into weird positions to get cables and machines out of them. I felt okay yesterday night but this morning, it feels like something’s come loose inside my chest and it’s constantly jabbing at me. Being old sucks.

It’s crazy, I can’t tell Casey Affleck and Jake Gyllenhaal apart – have they ever been seen in the same room at once? Roger Deakins is still a god.
Dead Wrong

Just when I think I’ve found my soulmate in a reviewer, Roger Ebert proves himself an unworthy partner with his review of Dead Man, which I showed Crumpet this evening. I was sure Crump had seen it before, but it turns out I was wrong… and it’s been far too long – I love this [...]
