This site is dull. It is. You can say it. I won’t get offended. Really! So far its just been a front to see what writing style best suits and what I feel I can (or rather can’t) write about. I did try anonymity for a while, but it didn’t suit me. I just prefer to be honest with myself.

Anywho, I’m copying someone elses idea so instead having a photo of the day, I’m gonna do song of the day (Maybe album of the week? Dunno). Obviously I can’t upload the songs for you to download, but you can always ask me… So here goes:

20/08/06: Stevie Wonder - Happy Birthday to you.
The one, the only, happy birthday song. Has there been a better one? Not that I know of.

21/08/06: Pharrell - Raspy Sh*t.
The gem of his album. Which was a let down to be honest. Good hook, nice flowing lyrics - a chilled feel good tune.

22/08/06: Gnarls Barkley - Smiley Faces.
I’m usually against any artist that can keep a #1 spot for as long as GB did with Crazay, but Smiley Faces made for a great driving tune after doing 10+ hours of driving this week! (video)

23/08/06: Nelly Furtado feat. Timbaland - Promiscuous Girl.
I’m a fan of Timbalands production so had to give this one a mention (video).

24/08/06: Christina Aguilera - Ain’t No Other Man.
If it weren’t for the trumpets, this song wouldn’t even get a mention. And not because of the name of this site… (video)

25/08/06: Plan B - Charmaine.
A relaxed tune with tongue placed FIRMLY in cheak. Last line is frankly a classic (video - bad quality, but watch this instead).

26/08/06: Fatman Scoop - Be Faithfull.
BASE DROP! If this doesn’t get you on the dance floor, there is no hope for you!

27/08/06: Wiseguys - Start the commotion.
Apt for trying to reinvent something at half past midnight. Video worth a look (video).

DJ Danger Mouse released “The Grey Album” which took beats from The Beatles - White Album and Jay-Z’s - Black Album (hence the grey part) on 24th Feb 04 and he’s back at it again. But more legal this time…. I think. Anyway his latest offering is Gnarls Barkley vs. Notorious B.I.G. and has come up with Gnotorious (DJ Danger Mouse isn’t going to make it as a writer methinks). I for one wasn’t a fan of Gnarls Barkley’s album, but DJ Danger Mouse manages to breathe new life into it.

Now I just have to re-download find the Gnarls Barkley CD to listen to the originals.

My furthest distance. Eva. That’s what my good freind Mr. Lance Armstrong said as I finished my run. 5km in the pooring rain as a figure of 8 round Wimbledon Park. 23m 47s. Only 11 minutes behind the world record! Maybe I should enter myself for the 2012 games? Ok… Maybe not. Also managed to run 3km earlier this week in 12m 57s. First time under 13 minutes and I was well chuffed.

Why, when people blow their nose, do they then proceed to open up their handkerchief to look at what they’ve just produced? What are they expecting to find? Gold? Keys to a mansion house? A small Sicilian man called Alberto that will fly them via magic handkerchief to paradise?

Been ill… ish. Think I had 24 hour food poisoning last Friday. 10 hours of vomitting* every 20-40 mins *yum* Still not up to full fitness. Well… I have an excuse for the next couple of days… right? Don’t I? Ok… maybe not

Back at work and man its been a busy week so far. How? I don’t know. Just seems every second at work is drawn towards something that isn’t what I should be working on. Grrrr. And then when I do get time to myself I just veg. Bleurgh.

POTATO!

There. Thats better. Struggling for words and was given that as a suggestion. Doesn’t that look better?

It’s my birthday soon and people have been asking me what I want. It’s interesting that question. What do you want? Indeed, what do I want? I dunno! I’m not the kind of guy to want for stuff. I am indifferent.

ONOMATOPOEIA!

Another word for you. Try to slip that into everyday conversation. “Wow - that sentence was very onomatopoeic.” Speaking of onomatopoeia… Here are some pictures of project cottage**.
