It seems that more and more of my friends are abandoning the LJ ship, setting up other "more worthy" blogs about interests, hobbies and academic pursuits. They do this and I can read their missives on my LJ list or an RSS feed, but then they don't seem to be keeping up with me. This is really upsetting, as the whole wonderfulness about LJ is the community aspect, the fact it is a relationship, not just someone typing up their opinipon of something. LJ somehow invites people to reveal more personal details than many other blogs, and it does seem to be the fashion to somehow want to be seen as a serious writer on the old blog, and having an LJ somehow cheapens the clever nature of the blog.
It makes me sad when I lose a person from my friends list, even if they aren't going to update any more, I've spent years sometimes imagining that these people have been reading what I've written, and then they drop me for a more worthy pursuit. Hhmph.
Anyway, I shan't be leaving, I'll still be writing my bollocks here. I suppose maybe its because I don't think my opinions on any one thing are worthy of a specific blog on them. I'd also urge anyone who can't be bothered to write any more to carry on reading my LJ, and commenting. I'd miss you if you didn't.
In other news Zelda Spirit Tracks: What a game!!
Anyone interested?
If you're going to wear a skirt that short, you'd think by age 34 you might have considered wearing more than a thong under it
Dear Lady Ga-Ga,
WEAR SOME CLOTHES.
Dear singer from Cascada,
You look like a fat Denise Van Outen, not a bad thing at all.
Dear JLS,
I don't want to see your 6 packs. I'm not sure if teenage girls wouldn't be mortified by you lifting your shirts like that. I'll assume it is for the gay audience, shall I?
Dear Kelly Clarkson,
I love you best when you're plumper.
Anyone got anything they'd like to say to popstars?

feel free to tell me I have terrible taste in films!
Ash were brilliant at Splendour we stood right near the front with Katie & Kevin. They played a few new songs that sounded really good as well as all the classics. Madness were also great. We got a bus back to town and Lesley led a singsong of "We Built This City on Rock & Roll" ♥
I think it might be one of the best songs to sing to. I also love singing Bohemian Rhapsody and Poker Face. You'll often hear me warbling in the shower, even though I can't sing!! Everyone does it though, right?
So why has noone recommended I read David Peace's Red Riding series before?
2. Maximo Park's album is a little bit crap, although I like it better having seen them live.
3. Yeah Yeah Yeah's album, first 2 tracks followed by track 4 are IMMENSE. the rest is leetle beeet dull.
4. Silversun Pickups album is IMMENSE, come see them live, tickets for Rescue Rooms selling fast appaz.
5. been out a while, but I love The Joy Formidable's album
6. Could Kelly Clarkson be any better? "I Do Not Hook up" = made me want to listen to Heart Of Stone by Cher. I'd post the video but You Tube is crap now.
7. That cunt Lily Allen's new song makes me want to stab her and piss in the holes. Nearly as annoying as "Alfie"
My brother and his mates were seriously terrified of him as kids. I always thought he was an urban myth, but there he is, on the actual internet!!!
(This will mean very little to anyone not from Merseyside, but I'm chortling away and on the phone to my brother!)
OMG....His style icon is Jodie Marsh!!
What I did like about it was the debonair Laurence Olivier as Maxim De Winter.
Anyway, I'd like them to remake it, I don't see any harm in it. Amazingly, it was the only film directed by Hitchcock to win an Oscar.
I'm feeling a bit better.
Probs should stop watching Crimewatch.
Kasabian and The Enemy are supporting Oasis (only to be expected).
PLEASE GOD HELP ME, DON'T LET KAISER CHIEFS SUPPORT BLUR!
Maybe you don't know how much I love the Antiques Roadshow. Little old ladies bringing in their prized possessions only to discover that it is only worth £15. I love the crushed look on their greedy faces. I love hearing lovely stories about how people came by their possessions. I love it when some one says "Oh the value isn't important" with pound signs in their eyes. I love it when the experts waffle on and the people aren't interested in anything other than the value. I really love the limited responses that people give to the values. Oh I love it.
So imagine my HUGE disappointment when the first million pound valued item wasn't a jar that had been in someone's shed for 30 years, but in fact one of the early mock ups of Anthony Gormley's Angel Of The North. And imagine how pissed off I was when it wasn't brought in by an old lady hoping for a cruise out of it, but by a man from Gateshead council. And imagine my disgust when the "expert" managed to put a value on it at a million quid, cos recently one twice the size was auctioned for 2 million pounds.
They so should adopt Joe's theme tune though!
