Just played on a Nintendo Wii for the first time. Not really a games person but I note that it has the edge on the Spectrum in some regards.

Day 5 of my conceptual piece “Festive Bender”. No nausea, fatigue or aches and pains, just a total absence of hope. And shit hair.

Looked in the mirror feeling poisoned and blue to see unshaven and haggard face but with surprisingly cool hair.

It’s raining twats: Frogstock Part 2 07.09.04 - 03:29pm So yeah, Simon and I are there playing the wrong records way into the night, and I start to wonder whether we’re just prolonging the organisational responsibility nightmare for Frog and the boys, who presumably wouldn’t mind a bit of kip when everyone’s fucked off off their land.

OK originally the plan was a kind of wheat-from-chaff exercise with old blog entries but it’s actually quite complicated selecting all this old stuff from various digital stash points and I never really was much of a wheat-from-chaff sort of bloke anyway. It’s all grist, innit? So yeah, some of the time, maybe a lot of it, I will sound like a twat talking about not-a-lot. Plus ca...
