1. Dragon Age II – My flat mate is playing it. It looks alot like Dragonage I (which is probably a good thing) although Blood mages don’t seem quite so awsome which is, on balance, a bad thing.
2. Bulleit Bourbon – I’m drinking it. Had a long day at work (12 hours, and it’s a Saturday) so stopped off in the magic liquor store on the way home and purchased a bottle. I have to say it’s a peach! Mighty smooth with maybe a tint of orangeyness.
3. Sendai – Spent alot of today watching the live news updates about the earthquake/tsunami/nuclear meltdown/etc. I actually felt a bit emotional about the international response and the fact that humans do somethimes try to help each other out. Those who know me know that I’ve almost entirely given up on the Human race so it’s nice to occationally be proven wrong. That said the international community is probably only using this an an excuse to get in and steal all of Japan’s giant robots, sushi knives and tentacle rape porn. The sadest moment was when I saw a picture of a man standing in the remains of his pottery shop.
4. Thomas the Tank engine (the origianl narrated by Ringo Starr) – When I was very young my parents recorded the first two seasons of this for me. Growing up I would always watch the videos when I was ill or depressed and they became good friends. Now I’ve not had a working VCR for years and I wouldn’t have wanted to risk putting them in anyway for fear of breakage but from a sentimental point of view there videos are like gold bars. The other week I finally got round to having them transfered and have since spent many happy hours rewatching them. It’s not even the show I love (although it is great, say what you like about Ringo’s drumming, he sure knows how to spin a train based yarn) it’s the mental adverts from 1984 (You won’t get Look-in if you don’t get Look-in this week!) or snippets of the broom cupboard (complete with Rod Hull with his hand up Emu). There are also the moments where I, as an unsupervised toddler, accidentally pressed record saving both an except from gone with the wind during a race between Thomas and Bertie and later most of the original home and away theme-tune during the first Duck vs Diesel saga. Anyway point 4 is a little on the large side but I’m happy so fuck anyone who thinks otherwise! Also you can watch Thomas the Tank engine on youtube so you really should.
5. Pictures which are funny for a very specific reason – For example:
Which is funny because the mouse should know that the duck can talk, they make love after all.
Or this gem:
Which, as you’ve probably realised, is funny because the death row convict eats a gun, which is obviously impossible.
