Project 365! Albums 18 – 22

January 28th, 2009 § 1

Project 365! is an ongoing series of posts in which I listen to some albums and write a little about them. They’re mostly records I’ve not heard before, and there’ll be one for every day of the year. It should also provide some lols as we all learn more things about which I am ignorant. Good times!

Previous posts in the series: Albums 1-9, Albums 10-13, Albums 14-17.

Woah, I’m more than a little behind with this. Although not as far behind as everyone else who’s doing it, hahaha. I’m going to play catch-up and try and keep it brief. I’m not normally so hot at brevity.

Project 52! Books 3 – 4

January 27th, 2009 § 1

Project 52! is my attempt at a meme that I’ve seen bouncing around LiveJournal and various blogs for several years: one book for every week in the year. In the past this would have been easy, but after I read so little in 2008 it might actually pose a challenge. So far 2009 is going pretty well. It’s nice to be reading dead trees again.

There aren’t any special rules for this one – this will just be every book I read this year, up to and perhaps surpassing #52. If I’m reviewing a book elsewhere, my comments will likely be quite brief. Oh, and very very short books or comics get a decimal point or grouped together, so I can mention them without appearing to be cheating.

Disclaimer: these aren’t formal reviews so much as musings on what I’ve read. Full reviews can be found here.

Previously: Books 1-2.

That “imbalanced” DEC Gaza Appeal

January 27th, 2009 § 0

Chances are you’ve already seen it, but here’s the offending 3-minute ad that the Beeb – and now Sky News – have refused to air. As you can see, it’s an intensely condemnatory polemic:

The Guardian has published a good round-up regarding the ridiculous and lamentable decision of the BBC’s top management not to run this appeal. Perhaps the one good thing to come out of this refusal – in the face of criticism and condemnation from the British public, over 150 MPs, much of the BBC rank and file, and many other groups – is that the appeal may have received far more close attention than it otherwise would have.

  • Alarming amounts of truth: http://www.viruscomix.com/page465.html #
  • I’m resisting this trend: I will NOT rename myself shaungreen. I am shanucore, damn it, and you won’t reveal my secret ident- oh. #
  • Sleeping never does seem like the best option. #
  • Actually, sleeping does sound like the best option 2 hours later when INSOMNIA. Killkillkillkillkill. #
  • Contemplating a high-capacity MP3 player that can sync with iTunes/Songbird (playcount & ratings). Recommendations, twittercloud? #
  • I’m tempted to follow Obamarama’s inauguration, but it’s surely just ceremony? It’s what he does afterwards that will be of significance. #
  • Goddamn horrible filthy wet windy unpleasant grey shitty bastard weather. I need a goddamn canopy for my bike. #
  • I’ve slept okay the last couple of nights. But I did learn our letting agent is threatening to serve notice. What was that about anxiety? #
  • “I joined twitter because I saw it on TV! I like celebrities! My life is empty and tragically devoid of meaning and significance. :(” #
  • Plymouth’s Crazy Arm are supporting Propagandhi at the C2 in April. Good times! #
  • This week’s F3 is up, and it’s a themed piece: “altered film titles”. I give you… MySpace: 1999! http://tinyurl.com/cld3x7 #
  • Arseholes resolve to be less like arseholes: http://tinyurl.com/d9ljl5 #
  • #Remember when we danced at shows, before we all stood in the back? We sang guilty pleasures so damn loud our lungs were sore.# #
  • Ohhhh today is a hangover day. Fortunately Ben is going to feed me curry. :D #
