That you kiss ! Hank’s ass

Anyhow – attempted to see Slither tonight

Went to the Movie House Cinema at Yorkgate as they do a late showing – there had been a fire (small) and it was closed. Decided to try the one on Dublin Road (although the movie had already started), right in the middle of Belfast – couldn’t get a parking space close enough. So tried Warner Village round in the Odyessy -they don’t do a late showing (we would of know that if my mum could read a paper!). We’re going to try again tomorrow.

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air

I was born too late to a world that doesn’t care

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When the head of state didn’t play guitar,

Not everybody drove a car,

When music really mattered and when radio was king,

When accountants didn’t have control

And the media couldn’t buy your soul

And computers were still scary and we didn’t know everything

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air

I was born too late to a world that doesn’t care

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When pop stars still remained a myth

And ignorance could still be bliss

And when God Save the Queen she turned a whiter shade of pale

My mom and dad were in their teens

and anarchy was still a dream

and the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air

I was born too late to a world that doesn’t care

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When record shops were on top

and vinyl was all that they stocked

and the super info highway was still drifting out in space

kids were wearing hand me downs,

and playing games meant kick arounds

and footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air

I was born too late to a world that doesn’t care

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

I was born too late to a world that doesn’t care

Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

I was all excited. I got paid today and I was expecting lotsa money! As I should have about 6 days overtime coming to me….which should be an extra £450 + (before tax). However I only seem to have got about £200 more in pay. Either I’ve been really stung by tax and NI or they’ve left off a couple of days (I’m hoping the latter but I suspect the former either way Im feeling pretty disappointed).

You know I really like the banner – it was completely unintentional – I tried putting a pattern on something with the width of 1 pixel (liquid satin I think) and this is the result!

Anyways – a little review on what I’ve been listening to/reading/watching lately.

Watching

Silent Hill: Never played the games, although I did once see a “trailer” for the original game. I really liked the movie – it was just a lot of maddness! Hated Sean Beans accent – seriously you’re not american stop trying to an american accent! I wanted to post a picture of Pyramid Head but I couldn’t find one

Stargate: SG1: Season finale! I’m running a little BehInd in geTTing tO Review a numbeR somE American Television Shows. A brilliant finale it was too – total cliffhanger though and so I have to wait ages and ages and ages for the new season.

The House of Wax: What can I say? A bunch of irritating kids get killed by the Mercenary fella off of threshold. Worth it to see Paris Hilton get a pole through her head though

Reading

Finished reading these not so long ago

Tailchaser’s Song – Tad Williams: Basically it’s about cats. Cats have their own society you know and real cats don’t have human owners – makes them fat and lazy and uncat like. The protagonist goes off to find his girlfriend risking life and limb – who, it turns out, was just getting all fat and lazy and un cat like. Okay so it doesn’t sound great there but it was quite enjoyable.

The Forever War – Joe Haldeman: From what I understand this is a science fiction response to the Vietnam War. Reminded me very much of Starship Troopers and to some degree The Ender Series by Orson Scott Card (also worth a read). Really enjoyed the book I must say.

Sir Thursday – Garth Nix: Part 4 of the Keys to the Kingdom series. Yes it is a kids book – absolutely love the series though. Extremely well written and Sir Thursday is no exception. It’s kind of hard to explain the series though – basically involves a young boy called Arthur, the house, the architect and the days of the week. The first novel in the series is Mister Monday. In this book he’s drafted to the Architect’s army!

Listening

Let Love in – Goo Goo Dolls: The new album from the Goos! Quite like some of the songs on it , the title song and better days. I’ll need to have a better listen though.

That’s all for now. Not really been reading since I’ve been off work and all the good movies seem to be out in May (well I say good, I mean movies I want to watch ).

I have stolen this from http://www.jackbauerfacts.com/view-twenty-four/

Jack Bauer wrote the Bible. That’s why its so violent.

Jack Bauer has a higher body count than Hitler.

Everytime jack bauer smiles, a terrorist loses his balls

Jack Bauer could get off the Lost island in 24 hours.

Jack and Jill went up the hill. Only Jack came down. Jill was a fucking terrorist.

If Jack Bauer was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Nina Meyers, and he had a gun with 2 bullets, he’d shoot Nina twice.

Jack Bauer once forgot where he put his keys. He then spent the next half-hour torturing himself until he gave up the location of the keys.

1.6 billion Chinese are angry with Jack Bauer. Sounds like a fair fight.

The only reason you’re conscious right now is because Jack Bauer doesn’t want to carry you.

Killing Jack Bauer doesn’t make him dead. It just makes him angry.

There were originally five horsemen of the apocalypse. Jack Bauer said he would travel by foot.

Jack Bauer sleeps with a gun under the pillow. But he could kill you with the pillow.

When Kim Bauer lost her virginity, Jack found it and put it back.

When life hands Jack Bauer Lemons, he kills Terrorists. Jack Bauer fuckin’ hates lemonade.

Jack Bauer doesn’t miss. If he didn’t hit you it’s because he was shooting at another terrorist twelve miles away.

As a boy, Jack Bauer interrogated his parents on Easter until they revealed the location and contents of each hidden egg.

After running out of ammo, Jack stood in the line of fire, took 3 shots to the chest, and used them to reload.

Nostradamus once predicted in his journal: “In the century 21st, the one known as Jacques will be the savior of the world… five seasons in a row.” Moments later, Jack Bauer knocked down the door, shot Nostradamus in the kneecaps, and yelled “WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?!”

On Jack Bauers Tax Returns, he has to claim the entire world as his dependants.

Jack Bauer has no friends, because as a child when he would play cops and robbers, the robbers would all be interogated and killed.

Superman has Jack Bauer pajamas.

A Priest, a Rabbi, and a Minister walked into a bar… and Jack Bauer is going to find out why…

Jack Bauer’s last meal was on the California Presidential Primary in 2000. Now he gets his nourishment straight from the sun….like Superman.

You were wrong
You were right
You are gone
Tonight
You were free
So alive
You were wrong
You were right

You were down
You could see
You wore hearts
for me
You were sharp
Sharp as knives
You were wrong
You were right

Shot down: said you never had the chance
Took a ride on a suicide romance
Could have sworn there was somebody home
To facilitate the great unknown
Woman, I ain’t going to meet you anywhere
Don’t know where I’m going yet:
But I sure am getting there
Shotgun fire: anybody home
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright: It’s not easy tonight

You were bound
You were free
You wear black
for me
You were dark
Dark as night
You were wrong
You were right

Shot down: said you never had the chance
Took a ride on a suicide romance
Could have sworn there was somebody home
To facilitate the great unknown
But woman, I ain’t going to meet you anywhere
Don’t know where I’m going yet:But I sure am getting there

Shotgun fire: anybody home
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright: It’s not easy tonight

She’s In. Over my head:and it’s not easy it’s not easy tonight

Shotgun fire: anybody home
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright: It’s not easy tonight

You were free:Now your not:You were free

Is a kick ass kinda show

What the fuck is wrong with some people? I just want to play a nice quiet, quick game of literati (won 4 games in a row!) and some stupid bitch, who seemed alright to begin with starts trying to frigging convert me!

i politely ignore her as i want to finish the game and vanish as soon as I do. She follows me onto the main board to continue spouting!

Couldn’t answer “why would a god want to be worshipped?” HAHAH suck that up!

If you’re a god botherer – whoopiefuckingdoo for you, but don’t, for the love of your god, start preaching to people who have no interest. It’s not big, it’s not clever, it’s not polite and we certainly ARE NOT FUCKING INTERESTED.

Felt like having three columns, I want to work in on more though. Wish I was better at this web stuff!

Lookie – a picture of a church!

Just remember this is what church does to you!

Ugh – dropped off a bit there – got very caught up in M & M 6 although to be honest I’m getting bored of it.

I’m gonna beat the fella behind me at work. He is constantly asking “did you do anything nice (last night/at the weekend” and I mean exactly that – never anything different like – “did you do anything interesting?” or “good weekend?” – Polite but ultimately disinterested. I’m also getting pissed off at how frigging patronising the other members of his section are to him. To be fair the fella is a little slow but even so…....SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!

I added a “to read” section to my links – basically the books I have to read. I also have a bunch of star trek & wars books to read which I didn’t add. I’d also like to tackle LOTR again. However since I’m only just reading them at work I expect this to take some time!
