I am continuing to enjoy the Wizard Rock music i have found! I discovered that i really like Ministry of Magic which, as a band, is much more dance oriented, and have a few funny covers of well-known songs.
My favourite would be Here In Your Car, a parody of Here In Your Arms, because it [...]

My precious computer (that i built myself) stopped working yesterday. It was fine in the morning, but when we came home in the evening it just wouldn't turn on. Boohoo. We had a few power blips the previous night so i wonder if there was another one that blew the power supply. Tonight i have [...]

Here [...]

Irony's about incongruity,
Not annoyances, mistakes or real tragedy …
Full lyrics here and now there's [...]

I just watched the Spice Girls single (thank you youtube!) Not particularly impressed with the song and i don't believe they were even in the same place at the same time to record the video. But it's kinda nice that they've done it to raise money for Children in Need. Because i guess they will [...]

Just finishing up configuring the computer … i have managed to enable sound - hooray! Strange it didn't just happen automatically when all i needed to do was run alsaconf and it figured it all out for me. Also playing with Samba and network sharing … at the moment i can see my partner's computer, [...]

At Liam's request i have enabled the img tag in comments, so feel free to post your own cat macros in response! ;)
Today is a nice slow-going day. I have loads of chores to do, but don't much care. It's a long weekend - there's plenty of time! ;) I went out into town with [...]
