What the hell is this? (Title written after blog entry)

This entry replaces the one that was originally scheduled for today. At the 11th hour, I decided it simply wasn’t any good. The subject matter was a decent one, but the more I read it back, the more I fell out of love with it. So instead, you have an entry crapped out in much less time. I’m sure you’ll be able to tell.

It’s tricky trying to come up with a blog entry out of nowhere. I’m currently looking around my room, trying to find something, ANYTHING, that will stick out at me. I can currently see an empty mug, which at one stage had contained coffee. Is it possible to get 1000 words out of the mug….or indeed the pleasure I experienced as I drank it?. Would people really give a fuck about my sore throat? I was actually ill for a good part of last week. Some people would shout “MAN FLU” at that, and run away giggling. To them, I say “FUCK OFF”. I only get ill a couple of times a year, but when I get it…I really get it. I’m alright now, thanks for asking. Just a dry cough as what remains of an otherwise meh week.

Not really getting anywhere at the moment, am I. Let’s look for something else. I’ve got my iPod on as i’m writing this, listening to Pearl Jam – Vs. I actually really got into them through Rock Band. Everyone went on about how brilliant Ten was, so I just went for it. My conclusion is everyone is right. I had heard a few of the songs, and knew a couple of them very well. As an album, it’s almost perfect. Alive is perhaps one of my favourite songs of all time. I might though be one of the only people in the world that would consider their most recent two albums (Pearl Jam and Backspacer) their next best two. People have mentioned to me ‘Vs.’ among others, but no. Backspacer is fantastic. Pearl Jam is nearly as good. Vs. has Rearviewmirror.

What the hell am I going on about!?! This isn’t NME! That reminds me…does anyone *actually* listen to NME Radio? Lots of people tuned in the hear the Ricky Gervais launch show, but since then? I see Claire Sturgess is doing weekend mornings. I remember her from the Gervais shows on XFM, when she would stand in for Karl. Apart from that, why does NME Radio exist? Why do we need hundreds and hundreds of these tiny stations. It’s the same with Music TV stations. HELL, it’s the same with TV stations in general. Some of them must get less than 200 viewers. Is it really worth the effort? It might even be the case that the only people watching are the parents of little Daniel, who has finally gotten his massive break on Ocean Finance TV.

DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED on Ocean Finance TV (which you can find on Sky channel 888). Who the hell is watching that?! I did a while ago, for about an hour. It actually tries and gets away with being a proper television channel. It has the standard “coming up later today on Ocean Finance TV…”. It also has proper adverts. It’s just that they all advertise Ocean Finance, making the thing even more mad. They’ve even brought back Cheryl Baker (her of Bucks Fizz fame) to try and work out what people *really* want from their Mortgages. That’s EXACTLY who I need to help me through my mortgage issues. Where’s Phil Tufnell to help me with getting a loan? It’s fascinating stuff. You want to turn over as a show ends, but you find yourself stuck on the channel as the next one begins. It makes you wonder how long it is until we see Greggs TV – Just how DO they make the yum yums so yummy?

I’m starting to run out of space, and i’ve mentioned fuck all about games! I could just delete this all and start again, but I don’t have the time left to write another 1000 words. Might just accept this as done. Before I go, is it me or has making flat pack furniture gotten easier? I remember in the past where holes would be cut wrong, you’d be short of a few pieces etc. Made a bed last night. No issues at all. All the pieces were there. It fitted together nicely. I sort of missed the lack of anger while making it. Might throw some pieces away before I start next time.

That really is it. In conclusion: prepare better. Oh, you want some game stuff? Will this do?…

ALSO THIS WEEK!

Started playing Uncharted 2 on the PS3. Improved pretty much every part of the original so far, and I consider the first to be one of the very best PS3 games. Also played a little bit on Wet for the 360. Has many flaws, but it’s biggest asset is that it’s really fun. That’s all you need from a game sometimes. Great to see Blur are being turned into Lego models for Lego Rock Band. That’s probably the news that’s sold it to me (sad as it sounds). Right, back to the adventures of Nathan Drake.
