Well, I’ve moved into my new flat. Tis nice. Tis small. Tis got bits of string hanging from the celing as it used to be sheltered housing and it would cost the council too much to remove the system for alerting the wardens to a problem.
The string, tis red. Yay!
So now college starts back aging this week. Which reminds me. Must look for rock songs for pole dancing/private dance. Any recomendations?
Middlesbrough is going cup crazy at the moment with the team having made it to the Carling Cup final next week. It’ll be good to see a team, plaing in red and white and hailing from the north east winning a cup. So good luck to Aberdeen for the Scottish Cup :¬)
Nah, I’ll be watching. Then it’s Oscar night! Haven’t actually seen many of the films nominated this year, but still. (Last film seen: Roger and Me. Next up: Spirited Away.)
This. Is. A. Crap. Entry. But I wanted to write. I might just go home, grab some paper and a pencil and wait for inspiration to strike. Then get Inspiration done for assault.
Yes, I’m in a weird mood.
I know. I’ll end with a couple of quirkies from ananova.com.
Man arrested for watching porn while driving
A man has been arrested in New York state after being caught watching a pornographic film while driving.
Police say 35 year-old Andre Gainey was driving near the Schenectady Police Station when he was spotted by an officer in an unmarked car.
According to a report on the msnbc website, the officer saw Gainey watching the film on a DVD screen inside his Mercedes.
A police spokesman said: “The movie was played in a way where it was easily seen by anybody that was behind the vehicle, like the detective was. It could’ve been a family that was behind him. Someone walking by would have easily seen this because the windows weren’t tinted at all.”
Gainey was arrested under a state law that prohibits public displays of offensive material when visible by others, including from inside a car.
Gainey was also charged on several other counts, including watching a film while driving, and driving with a suspended license.
He is currently being held in the Schenectady County Jail, without bail.

Ageing rockers score hit in teenage disguises
Ageing post-punk band The Alarm have scored a top 30 UK chart hit – with a stunt disguising themselves as an unknown younger group.
Recording under the pseudonym The Poppyfields, they are at number 28 after selling more than 4,000 copies of their 1970s-style punk single 45RPM.
In its accompanying video The Alarm are replaced by teenage Chester rockers The Wayriders who mime along to the song.
Singer Mike Peters, 44, said it was done to prove how much image affected sales.
He added: “We wanted the song to be judged on its merits and stir up the water a little bit. We decided we would do something where it was judged purely on its own musical value.”
He said The Alarm, most famous for their 1983 hit 68 Guns, are not always taken seriously by DJs because of their age and an image perceived to be outdated.
“The Alarm as an entity have been going for 20-odd years and history can go against you – we wanted to break the barrier down,” reports BBC Online.
