FoxBoom!

Happy birthday, Jacel!

So, MTV wants to remake “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”.

Mmmm… no. No thanks. I’m good with the original. But thanks.

The “Tron 2″ trailer has been released!

…well, leaked…

*fangasm*

Best spam ever. I LOLLED!

It’s official. MobileMe is Apple’s Vista.

Mail’s down. The website’s down. Everything’s fucking down. You can’t e-mail the support team anymore; you have to live chat, and…

MobileMe chat is available daily from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. central time (U.S.), except on holidays.

I don’t even know if any managers at Apple know or care.

The first trailer for “Caprica” is out!

I got into MJ Hibbett and The Validators when I heard “Hey Hey 16k”. Anyway, “It Only Works Because You’re Here” just came out, and I like it!

Down the lane, they’re strolling two by two,
Holding hands, they smile like we used to do,
Here with their one and only,
I’d forgotten I was lonely,
Oh, how I wish that here were there with you.

All the days of sadness,
They seem so needless now,
Yes it’s taken me this long, long time,
To see, it’s clear.

And my dreams keep drifting back to me,
And our strolls beneath these same stars above,
And when the leaves are falling,
My heart will be recalling,
You’re the only girl I ever really loved.

I really, really wish I could buy that song somewhere…

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.

In Nigel’s defence, it’s difficult to justify paying £7 to go to a movie theatre where people talk and kick your seat for 90 minutes.

I’ve seen some great movies at the cinema lately, but the experience stinks, and I’m just gonna quit going.

SpiritRaptor has posted the RBW 2007 teaser trailer:

That was the first bit of work I’ve done for Saurian Studios (I edited 0:56 to 2:10), and I’ll be working for Saurian Studios on RBW’s media team later this year. Wave if you see me!

The Rift’s opening!

Wow, this one’s been sitting in draft for months…

You find yourself sitting on a train, waiting to leave at the station platform.

In one hand, you have a ticket home which can only be used today. In the other, a ticket home which can be used only tomorrow.

The train won’t leave for a couple of minutes. You have time to make the decision. And what a decision.

I get could off the train, quick. I could stay another day… I could get hurt, or it could all be okay.

I could stay on the train. I could go home, lick my wounds and spend my week’s food budget on alcohol, and try again another day.

Risk it all; I could win and life would never be the same again, or I could lose and be found floating face-down in Cardiff Bay. Or play it safe and just carry another scar.

The moment was electric. I knew that whatever I decided, it would affect me for months afterwards.

I already had both tickets. There was no financial cost to worry about. Which ever way I went, I had food and water and a place to stay.

…and just as I stood up, the doors locked.

Here’s the ad that got pulled here in the UK. *cry*

“You spent $120 on… trousers?”

Plan for today:

1. Go find Becky at the train station.
2. Convince Spirit to go out for coffee.
3. Buy a delivery label slip so I can SEND MY FUCKING XBOX BACK AND GET IT REPAIRED OH GOD MY LIFE IS EMPTY WITHOUT GUITAR HERO.

Me: LOL!

Andy: “Lots Of Love”? I don’t think that’s very appropriate…

Me: No, it doesn’t mean…

Andy: Doesn’t it? I thought it did. “Oh, you’re sick? LOL!” Or, “Is that your leg over there? LOL!”

Me: LOL!

So, the morning kicked off with the mid-season finale of Battlestar Galactica. And that’s all I can say, because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone.

And then the day ends with that episode of Doctor Who. And again, I don’t want to say anything more, for the sake of anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.

But, OH MY GOD, this was one of the big ones. This one had a little bit of everything, with a shout-out to Torchwood and those two beautiful, incredible words…

I remember when last year’s “The Sound of Drums” kinda evoked “Children of Men“’s urban dystopia, but hell, that’s got nothing on “Turn Left”. British society decimated, martial law, refugees, labour camps (or, at least, “that’s what they called them last time” and FUCK ME how dark is this going to get?)

But don’t let my dumb grin fool you. Maybe — MAYBE — I was a little harsh on Catherine Tate being in the show, but Donna Noble has still been majorly fucking irritating at times. These episodes have been despite Donna, not because of her.

But hey, forget that for now. I’ve had an amazing 40 minutes of TV, and an incredible teaser for next week to boot. I’m blown away.

If you think your business plan is going to make you “bigger than Google”, then, I hate to be cruel, but you’re probably wrong.
