Chaos-23

Aaaaaages ago I saw this site and thought it was really cool. Sadly the only console I had that was on-line was my Wii so no chance of anything fun like that for me

Well since finding myself very single, very alone and with no friends and nothing and no-one to do, I bought myself a 360 (I got the Premium in the end). His one drove me insane with trying to make his off-line account link to his on-line one (had to delete the off-line one and start from scratch in the end), but so far mine has been good. Bought some 2nd hand and cheap games. Trying to 100% Assassin’s Creed if I can, just because samey & boring though it is, it’s single player. Managed to lessen my Viva Piñata addiction a little too, that was getting scary.

360Voice is very cool, I’m enjoying seeing what my console has to say about me Only real issue I have with it is the site updates so slowly. I know it has to wait a while to update, but the rss feed updates so much quicker. You’d think they’d both be the same.

Anyhoo, this post is a list of all the 360 type things I’m on, feel free to add me so I can pretend I have friends:

This is absolutely outstanding! I am a lover of Theremins anyway (I have a Moog EtherWave - woo!), this is just awesome

As my life has taken a rather drastic turn for the worse (I’ve traded in my own happiness so that someone I love dearly can find his own), I’ve decided to finally book my holidays. I had been waiting for him to let me know dates, but all he did was book holidays for himself!

So, first stop may now be the Scilly Isles. I’ll probably go via Penzance, spending a couple of days in Cornwall (I really have to see The Minack Theatre, I’ve been fascinated by it for ages) before spending another couple on Tresco. There’s loads of cool things to photograph there, so I’ll have to remember my camera. Sadly I can’t find a tiny cottage with free wifi on Scilly like I did on the Isle of Arran

However, I can visit Penennis Head. Which is quality! (Yes, I am childish).

I was hoping to stay at Star Castle. It looks amazing and isn’t extortionate which a lot of places on St Marys are, but it may have to wait til I can go back again. I can see myself visiting more than once.

Looks like I may not be able to travel over by helicopter either as it is very, very expensive and with the weather this year being so dodgy I could have to take the boat over and not get a refund which would be poo. The boat takes ages, but is cheaper and you get some good views around Cornwall, and of course I am obsessed with the sea, so almost 4 hours of staring at it should be cool.

I’m really looking forward to going and venturing out to some of the uninhabited islands and just being on my own for a bit. I just wish more places were open off-season! I want to go NOW damnit!

Pownce is now open to all, no need for invitations:

What’s Pownce?
Pownce is a way to keep in touch with and share stuff with your friends. Send people files, links, events, and messages and then have real conversations with the recipients.

FINALLY got hold of a digital version of “I’m in Love” by Kingmaker. I have it on vinyl & tape, and after many years of searching it turns up on the iTunes store of all places! This song has been personal to me since I was a teenager. I love it. Miss you Loz.

I love London! I love the internet!

Poor old Camden Market, was planning to go up there next week… probably no point now

Saw the first episode of the BBCs follow up to Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes, last night.

This one is set in 1981, so I do actually remember a lot of stuff from that time. The Audi Quattro certainly brings back memories as does the creepy Pierrot clown. A cousin of mine decked out her entire bedroom with them back in the 80s. She had the dolls on her shelves, they were on her pillows, her duvet, the rug…. eugh. Creepy things!

I can’t say I like DI Alex Drake anywhere near as much as I liked Sam, but we’ll see if she gets less annoying as it goes on. None of that really matters though, because it could all just be a blank screen without Gene Hunt. He makes me grin like an idiot. “You. In leather… holding that. Gives me the ‘orn.”

I know it’s only Neighbours, it’s not exactly high drama, but I am really impressed with the way Five have handled it. When the BBC decided not to renew the contract it was a bit sad as Neighbours feels like it’s been around forever (even though I clearly remember when it first started and the way everyone watched it). Not only did Five snap it up, but they’re airing it at the times the BBC used to air it (back to 13:45 and 17:30, rather than sometime after 14:00 when we feel like it) and they’re continuing from the correct episode on Monday.

This shouldn’t be impressive. This should be how it always happens. TV execs take note of this.

Too many programmes are being bought up and not showed, showed in the wrong order, put on obscure satellite channels, etc.

xkcd keeps being strangely appropriate:
