Pancake day!

So when asked by my mum at the dinner table what I might be giving up for lent I said.....I'm giving up giving up! ;-)

We have the most weird conversations at the dinner table, having dinner at the dinner table makes us sound posh LOL well it wasn't all that long ago that we'd all retreat to our respective rooms and not say much so since Christmas we've been having dinner at the dinner table like normal civilized beings ;-)

And so we have these weirdo conversations, I've never given anything up for lent in my life so why start now? LOL

Lyric of the day:

My mama wants to know
Where I'm spending all my dough
All she does is nag nag nag
Well I won't apologize
I'd inject into my eyes
If there was no where else to stick my skag

All I want is brown
And I'm going into town
Shooting up as soon as I'm back
My friends have got some good shit
All I want is some of it
Gimme, gimme, gimme that smack

Well I've ruined nearly all of my veins
Sticking that fucking shit into my arms

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Givin' up, givin' up, givin a fuck
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Givin' up, givin' up, givin a fuck

Getting off my face
There's a dragon I must chase
Honey I'm the scourge of all mankind
And everyone but me
Is destined just to be
Slaves to the remoresless grind

But I found myself an easy way out
Sticking that fucking shit into my arms

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Givin' up, givin' up, givin a fuck
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Givin' up, givin' up, givin a fuck

OFI Sunday (again)

Random Star Wars Quote:

"I didn't want to live after Myrkr, Jacen. If you had died there, I don't think I could have gone on. I wouldn't have just become 'the Sword of the Jedi,' but the sword the Jedi would have been sorry they'd forged." Jaina Solo, The Unifying Force


Who stole my weekend?

I spent most of it indoors on the net feeling sorry for myself as I was feeling rough.

I wonder if it is possible to get addicted to non perscription drugs like vicks vapour rub? ;-)

Seems like NTHell has gone, although the internet bit was still going today, was tempted to use it but don't want the gits billing me for another months rental!

Anyway, am building my New Jedi Order book collection back up, at the time I was just reading one book then selling it on ebay so that I could buy the next book, good idea at the time only now I wanna build that book collection back up cos there are some cool scraps in them ;-) plus I have the room now to keep them (well I don't have a book shelf yet but I'm working on that)

Brought a cordless keyboard and mouse today which means if I want I can be a total lazy arse ;-) need to buy a new pc chair now though cos my old one has just died dramaticaly in only a way that an old pc chair could die, so currently sat infront of pc on a dining room fold away chair that isn't designed for being a lazy arse in!

Lyric of the day:

I'm the man who came to dinner
Said I wasn't stopping long
I brought a present wrapped in misery
And a bottle of sad songs
Still you said
Come on in
Make yourself at home
Would You like a drink?
Let me take your coat

I stand well back in a corner
With a sneer on my face
I've got the weight of the world on my shoulders
Ready to fall on this place

And I felt like one of the family
And I could be whoever I wanna be

I took you down to the sea
Let you swim in deep blue water
Sunk your suspicions but then
You couldn't get back to the shore

Come on in
Make yourself at home
Would you like a drink
Let me take your coat

Terrorvision - New Policy One [Formaldehyde, 1993]

So having a Terrorvision moment, totaly pissed off cos there's supposed to be a live dvd of their gig last April in London, its had a release date thats kept changing for the last 8 months!! if I didn't know better I would think they were still with EMI! its now due to be released on 27th of March, other release dates include.....27th Feb 2006, 27th Jan 2006 ........etc

Dedicated follower of fashion

I don't usualy moan on my blog (well not often, I just make everyone else suffer) but here goes ....

My head feels like someone is standing on it, my ears sound like theres someone inside my head with numatic drill and my throat (and this is a Justin Hawkins quote) feels like "bear shit wrapped in fish hooks"

So there! ;-P

On a lighter note, my NTL account all gets shut down on the 25th Feb which is tomorrow so me and my bro are downloading as much crap as possible just to send it out with a bang! ;-)
Currently have 2 lots of internet in this house, I have the new BT Yahoo ADSL and everyone else is on the NTL Cable stuff atm, BT works out about £27 a month for a 2Meg line and a 20GB cap per month, well theres no way in hell we will ever use 20GB a month....I don't even have that much space left on my hard drive.
I also got a free wireless modem router thing from BT but its got a crap firewall so when I have spare cash I will be replacing it with something more secure.


Just got the new Ray Davies [The Kinks frontman] album, 'Other People's Lives' its quite cool so I'm having a Kinks moment on WinAmp

Lyric of the day:

They seek him here, they seek him there,
His clothes are loud, but never square.
It will make or break him so he's got to buy the best,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.

And when he does his little rounds,
'Round the boutiques of London Town,
Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He thinks he is a flower to be looked at,
And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight,
He feels a dedicated follower of fashion.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
There's one thing that he loves and that is flattery.
One week he's in polka-dots, the next week he is in stripes.
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.

They seek him here, they seek him there,
In Regent Street and Leicester Square.
Everywhere the Carnabetian army marches on,
Each one an dedicated follower of fashion.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
His world is built 'round discoteques and parties.
This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He flits from shop to shop just like a butterfly.
In matters of the cloth he is as fickle as can be,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
He's a dedicated follower of fashion.
He's a dedicated follower of fashion.

The Kinks - Dedicated Follower Of Fashion


So I finished my Star Wars book that I had read before and I couldn't remember how it had ended which was really weird cos I think thats the 3rd time I've read it.
I really must pay more attention when reading ;-)

Another good thing is there has been talk of my fav character in the newer books, Jaina Solo on the message boards, it seems she's come out of weirdo phase, it didn't seem clear at the time when I was reading the last few books but all has been explained.....sometimes I just need a little stating of the obvious ;-)









<--- Jaina Solo [Incase you hadn't guessed!]










"I name you the Sword of the Jedi...Yours is a restless life, and never shall you know peace, though you shall be blessed for the peace that you bring to others. Take comfort in the fact that, though you stand tall and alone, others take shelter in the shadow you cast." —Luke Skywalker

So after all this pointless drivel it's only......

It's cold outside there's no kind of atmosphere

Sick again :(

This is the 2nd cold in a month! I'm not usualy one for colds either, I think I need to eat more oranges or something.

It's snowing outside, well when I say snowing its hardly winter olympic snow standard so I won't be able to dig out my tea tray and go sliding down some hills in the near future.

Been toying with the idea of changing the template of this blog as its all a bit black LOL but can't find no decent templates that I like and the ones supplied on this blogspot thingie I'm not keen on.....so watch this space everything might change or go tits up.

I'm off back to bed now that I'm all drugged up on paracetamol and vicks vapour rub, I might move onto harder drugs later like Sudafed or Lemsip Max Strength, waiting for more Lucozade to arrive cos if ure sick you must have Lucozade!!!

Lyric of the day:

I had a friend called Joe
When friends were hard to find
He had a restless soul
And somethitng on his mind
One day I went away
And when returned to the scene
Not to find restless Joe, No
But to find Josephine

106 days til Star Wars Legacy Of the Force : Betrayal

I saw a mouse......

Well that's not technicaly true.....more like I heard a mouse!......in the skirting board of my room! scrabbling at 5.30am!

There are 2 theories to the mouse being there:

1. It came in by its own accord and set up home within the walls of the house.
2. It was brought in alive by one of my idiot cats......probably Tricky! and then was let go and it somehow made its way behind the skirting board.

I'm going with theory 2!!!

To cut a long story short, last time I heard the mouse it was somewhere behind my chest of drawers, today it was somewhere behind my pc but when I go to look the scrabbling stops and there is nothing behind my pc so the bastard thing is definatley in the wall somewhere!

Haven't heard the bloody thing for a while so I thought maybe its come out of its hiding place and been caught and got rid of by Tricky and friends!

So I'm up......its currently 5.49am!

Looking forward to my 3 days off! only have to go in today and then thats it til next Monday.

Got the moving room plans to continue with, have started painting and got more of it on me than on the ceiling or walls.
My new bed has arrived, its bloody huge! got to re-think where I'm going to put everything when I move in.

What I'm really looking forward to is going to see the mighty Darkness on Wednesday night!

Oh and I'm about to order my new broadband from BT as there isn't much else to do at this time of the morning appart from make a cup of tea which is next on the agenda......and shoot the cat for not killing the mouse outright in the first place!




This cat is bloody useless!!!! ;-)




But she's cute ;-)
