Go back! | Go forward!

random observations, variously revealing or misleading

  1. The Zombie Apocalypse Wall Decoration on boingboing this morning made me go "Cool!", suggesting I am a sad geek for whom there is no hope. I don't even like zombies.

  2. Loot seems to think, based on my previous buying habits (my ginormous and unrepentant buying habits, that is), that I'm likely to buy a CD entitled "100 Best Club Anthems". Their sales analysts are sadly doomed. Fortunately it also amused me enough that it's distracting me from clicking "Place Order" on the R400's worth of graphic novels in my shopping cart, which in my book constitutes almost superhuman self-control.

  3. Perfect bow on the way up to campus this morning. (Except that this is one of my patented "pretty clouds snapped while waiting in traffic" shots, and I only had time for four before the lights changed, and all of them seem to have chopped the top of the bow off. Sigh. On the other hand, points to the Common for panoramic photo utility). These two shots were stitched together with Autostitch, which appears to be a free stitch programme extremely useful for photographic idiots such as myself.

I am saddened that we live in a world where anyone wants "100 Best Club Anthems". =P

Maybe we don't! Maybe it's being madly advertised to completely unlikely people such as me because they have 20 000 discs sitting in a warehouse somewhere, unloved and unwanted. I shall console myself with this possibility, at any rate.

Random icon-love, btw. Geeky and pretty.

Now THAT's an idea. That makes me laugh. The idea that all the club albums on supermarket shelves just languish there and nobody ever buys them...


Sadly, someone does, and that someone includes my housemates. Meh.

As someone whose life is, essentially, preparation for the zombiepocalypse, I shall enquire after this decal forthwith.

I fail to see how this constitutes preparation, per se, unless you seriously feel your zombie silhouette recognition skills need a workout?

Exactly that! The instinctive recognition of zombies!

Because, what, you might mistakenly identify other categories of people as zombies? drunks? shuffling codgers? the irredeemably stoned? I'm kinda reaching here... Besides, everyone knows that the sure-fire way to identify zombies is to listen for the drawn-out moan of "braaaaaaaaiiiiins!"

Love the picture. Saw a rainbow the other day myself. Had washing out, but was on the bus at the time, so just enjoyed the colours. The washing dried in time anyhow.

Woo! I'm back. Say you missed me, and I'll deride you as a bad liar.

Anyway. You get much worse weather than us, huzzah for the Midlands! Although that said there are no pretty rainbows here...

We missed you! No, seriously, I did vaguely wonder where you'd wandered off to. I assume life has been full of interesting things that don't include LJ.

Cape Town has an extremely pleasing tendency to rainbows. It's all the cloud/mountain action, I think.

I had wandered off to get a proper job, a task which means I can now look down on all my (unpaid) friends as they get deeper and deeper into debt...

Ah, that would explain a bit. The East Midlands have something of a shortage out mountains (rather like the rest of England, really!)

A dehoy who was terribly hobble,
Cast only stones that were cobble
And bats that were ding,
From a shot that was sling,
But never hit inks that were bobble.
