- Question Time's on. Politix! They're saying Boris as mayor is okay because in this case an individual outgrows a party. Yeah it's probably true. They're throwing around the word 'charisma' though. Is Boris Johnson charismatic? I know he's accidentally funny, but I dunno about charisma!
Piers Morgan makes me want to kill things. No hold on, rephrase, I want to kill things, one of them is Piers Morgan.

-Cute and Vulnerable to attack...they're the same thing, aren't they?

- That Gladiator rip-off ad with Gordon Ramsey is SHIT. He keeps bobbing up out of the frame and trying to seem commanding, but probably was giving the cameraman a headache. There are no trampolines in Germania in 180 AD, chef.

- omg I really want to get EMPIRE: Total War when it comes out. I think it could possibly be the only game this year that I'm excited about It'll be in winter though, soddit!
I dunno what it is, but I rather enjoy things in that period of history right now. Anything between the 1700s and WW1 is kinda a kinda spectacular era for England (and probably the world) and one that I really lack the information on.

- I'm also still looking for a good non-Warcraft MMORPG to play. I've been overtaken on that front, and I wanna be first in line for the next major thing. EVE Online pulled my intrigue recently, but I dunno how easy it is to get into that world. Maybe Age of Conan is where the meat is, once it gets some hype.

I hate all these games that keep receiving false hype when actually they turn out a bit shit. And people are only playing them because they're popular to the misguided masses, who can't actually resist advertising and marketing.

Console gamers are trying to bring about the death of the PC, but I say fight back. This platform has always been better for gaming, and it's about time Consoles went back to being for the kids

- I'm reading the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 2 at the moment. It's quite funny because, it's a comic that works under the presumption the all Victorian fiction literature was true, and this one mainly follow War of the Worlds (which I have read and watched multiple versions of over the years) and it seems to have been written in 2003, so it's funny how I relate it to my film script, which is basically the same thing.

They've (Alan Moore?) read the first few pages of H.G.Wells' novel and just cannibalised the bits they thought they could use and arranged them so that different characters say the lines the main ones are supposed to have said, and it's just really interesting to see the variations. Like knocking over a Lego castle and trying to rebuild it how it was from memory. I fucking love analogies! And you realise that people can destroy an original story 10 times and yet still in every rebuilt iteration of it there's always elements that remain, things in the story that will never be destroyed because it's what everyone puts in their version.

Magic.

- We're getting mini-heatwaves. It's great. I'm feeling that scarily strong sunlight that almost sunburns you and it's downright marvellous compared to dressing up in 4 layers in the rain and shivering in cold rooms wishing you didn't have to wear a fleece. Now I can just wear a T-shirt. And the belles are out in their summer clothes. It's interesting to see how different people dress compared to each other. There's a lot of styles out there.

"Hey beat it, dinnerjacket!
We're talking about things you wouldn't understand, like truth and beauty"

"Wokay!"
