No-one Likes a Smartarse.

Have that, ASIMO.

I love the cameraman at the end- "A-haha! Robo-san, he ferrovah!"

Squashed Tomatoes and Stew.

It's this blog's second birthday today.
Anyone who's ever left a comment, anyone who's chuckled, tutted, cursed or yawned at this site, you have my thanks. It feels as though shitloads has happened since 21/02/2005, but looking through the archive I suppose I must've either imagined it or not been arsed to write about it. My patch of internet continues to serve it's purpose though, so I can't see myself packing it in yet. Here's to the next birthday!

Girls Playing Video Games.

Such grace.

My favourite bit happens toward the end of the clip when one of them- probably Charlie, closest to camera- mutters "fucking bitch" under her breath. Classy.

I Don't Ask For Much.

Someone please buy me this please. And be quick, there's only two days to go. Let me know when you've got it, just leave a comment.

Cheers, nice one.

EDIT: Cuh, thanks a lot for NOTHING.

Learning Lines.

Hahaha, it really makes me laugh when I think about how shit I am at learning lines. Seriously, I'm awful at it. Really, truly dire. I'm laughing right now at just how shitty my line-learning skills are. Do you want some lines learned? Best look elsewhere, pal. Nah, seriously, I'm awful.

I've been looking for an excuse for ages to post a pic of Princess Di. Apropos of absolutely nothing, here is that picture:



Let us pray.

"O Princess of Hearts, lovely Lady Di, please shine your holy light on me from heaven and give me the strength to learn my lines, sweet sweet Lady Di, O scourge of landmines and curer of AIDS, O media-shy reluctant celebrity (DAMN those paparazzi DAMN THEM), please look to little Marko and help him in his hour of need".

That should sort it.

One More Angel in Heaven.

Snow Days 2007

"Fuck" I thought to myself just over an hour ago, "they weren't lying on the news, for a change. It's snowy as fuck out there".
Despite all the tales I've been told of my current headteacher being a non-school-closing kind of dude, school has succumbed and I get to spend the day in Hyrule breaking in to the new Zelda. Sweet as you like.
Here's the obligatory pic of Snow Day 2007- it's exactly the same as the pic from this time last year, which is either comforting or depressing, can't tell which yet.


EDIT: Wooooargh, Day II! Woke up at 06:45, snow started at around 07:00, just got another call to say school's closed AGAIN. I probably won't feel this pleased at the end of next month but for now, fuck it, four-day weekend!!

Christmas Arrives, Finally.

As you can see, I've got my Wii at last, and it's great. It's all thanks to my brother who saw some stock in Toys R Us and grabbed one for me.

Bit of a lovely weekend, actually- went to Bristol and had a session with Kara, Rob J and co, then got home to Wario Ware! Very nice. The only downside is that boxing doesn't half make your bloody arms ache, and that Laura keeps beating me.

"Schoolyard Penis Seen From Space"

From The Guardian:



"Two pupils who drew a giant penis on a school lawn using weed killer two years ago can still admire their work from satellite photos now posted on the internet.

Despite the school re-seeding the area, the penis has turned up on satellite image search engines because a photo was taken before the new grass could conceal the appendage".

Good work, lads!
