I’m having an old man moment, a “How can it almost be new year already?” confusion that’s bedeviled me for the last week or so; it felt like my Christmas feeling didn’t really kick in until a couple of days before the main event - and then, extra-unusually for me, then kicked straight back out [...]
This just in from the Department of Awesome Spam Subject Lines:
Seriously, someone has to put together a collection of the greatest spam subject lines ever written and/or automatically generated. I’d at least smile at its existence in whatever bookstore I saw it in.
So, there I was, lying on the ground on Christmas Eve, unable to feel my right arm, which lay underneath me, having just broken the fall I’d just finished.

I’m not quite sure if I can remember my first White Christmas - the real thing, that is, not the first time I saw the movie (That was only a few years ago, and I remember being surprised by the story: What was this shit about a hotel and the war? Where’s the Christmas stuff? [...]
Still, incredibly, swamped with work. Or, to be more accurate, the usual amount of work but a brain that doesn’t want to process information, so work takes twice as long as it really should, which is practically the same thing. And so, instead of real content, my latest obsession: People putting Beatles Rock Band videos [...]
As if to emphasize that I haven’t been (a) blogging too much of late - blame busyness on all manner of counts, I’m afraid - and (b) writing about seasonal music at all, despite my promise to do that very thing, iTunes has just happily provided the following double bill to provide a little bit [...]
