I have a soft spot for The Killers; the first single off the new album Human is great in a gay-as-houses Pet Shop Boys sorta way, but I am really and truly loving the following as seen on Saturday Night Live:

My new favourite joke:

Q: What do you if you cross the freeway with a wheelbarrow?
A: Fucking killed

ah... the weekend before pay day; always the time to do everything you should do normally but don't because you've got the money to entertain yourself otherwise. Kitchen cleaned, clothes washed - right down to the bottom of the laundry basket, not just the top layer. Something of a late summer here too; the mornings and evenings have been a bit nippy but the days have been great; plus everyone seems to be having bonfires so there is that lovely smokey smell in the air.

It's a hard life being a nerd; frankly I couldn't be arsed coming to work today but then I remembered I've got Heroes to download, and I might as well suck up company bandwidth rather than mess about at home; it's still taking an age (oooh, and new Big Bang Theory too; plus House and Fringe tomorrow - god bless a) the new TV season in the US and b) bittorrenting)

Slightly underwhelmed by Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on the xbox; it's not that it's bad (though the collision detection is woeful and the graphics a bit glitchy) it's just not very skillful - you can just hammer the buttons randomly and still get through. It is fun tossing Storm Troopers about and lightning blasting Jawas, but still...

Speaking of uber nerdness, I bought a new torch the other day - only worth mentioning because it's a lightsabre handle and makes the appropriate woosh-bzzzz noise when you switch it on

Is there anything better than a warm sunny Autumnal day in September? well, yes, lots of things but that's not really the point - it's glorious today, it's warm but crisp out, the air smells of bonfire smoke in a good way, people are out and about doing stuff and everything has a glow to it....

Enjoying a day to myself to doing stuff around the house, catching up on paperwork, sorting out bits and bobs and puttng the world to rights. And listening to Oasis and playing Mariokart on the Wii as the Xbox is at the flat so I can't get started on Force Unleashed yet

I was asked to post some new pics; to that end...

Metallica were top banana last night

hmmm.... the T-Shirt buying is out of control again... this weekend saw:

(Comic shop in London; love the Brian Bolland artwork)

(loving FCUK's Dark Knight t-shirts)

(love the songs, love the show, look - robot tentacles!)

As I get older, I think I'm definitely more of a cat person
