Dreadful confessions...
For months I have been HATING La Roux. I've been hearing that ear straining caterwauling EVERYWHERE and...
Well, something happened. I think I heard another track and I liked it. Very minimal keyboards, very eighties. So big fat hippo has changed his spots. My best friends would testify that I have prior for liking crap, so make your own judgements. I think it was seeing the advert for Florence and the Machine and La Roux back to back. I'd already said I liked a track by Florence and the Machine, "Rabbit heart" apparently. Anyway, as testament to my ability to back pedal and admit I've got different pyjamas, I'm buying some CDs tomorrow. Another weird thing is that since a few stores went to the wall, unless I simply can't get it in a shop, or it really is prohibitively expensive, I'm more inclined toward going to a shop.
Was out playing on my bike last Thursday. Playing on stairs and learning to pull the bike into the air to get over stuff that is there (glass) and stuff that technically isn’t there (potholes). Need practice but was lots of fun. Managed to fall over going up an incline, was fine coming down though.
Put eeebuntu on my Asus and it’s such an improvement. Only gripe is I’d have preferred a KDE environment, but I’m happy to live with Ubuntu based system.
The Scottish Cycle Cross series visited Cathkin Braes on Sunday. That was fun. Good track and nice to see the Braes being filled with families just having a damn good day out.
Recent exception to the new shopping rule was a pair of Shimano MP66W shoes which were £60 in Alpine Bikes and £45 on Wiggle.co.uk
They look quite mad, if I could get my hair to slope up at an odd angle and wear strange cyber clothes, I'd feel like I was in a Manga cartoon.
Yes; exactly.

Good God, you've been busy! Incidentally, I suspected you would change your mind about La Roux - precisely because it IS electro/eighties.
bet you've just been sitting, waiting, checking your watch now and then...
Time to be anal here. Manga refers to the graphic novels. The cartoons are anime. The confusion arises (mainly) due to a cetrain company who popularised the medium in the UK.
Now on to the funny bit. Why is it that when I thought of you in an anime, the frist thing to spring to mind was hentai (don't google it, you'll go blind/insane/both)
Firstly, you are assuming that when I said cartoon I was referring to an animation, which I wasn't. But I forgive you your narrow semantical frame of reference. ;op
I take your point oh pedantic one, but you have cleverly avoided the hentai issue. Well fielded that chap
:-D
