2008

For me 2008 seemed more futuristic and progressive than past years. Maybe it was Obama, maybe it was me realising at the start of the year that top 40 music was not the only kind or maybe it was the giant Hadron collider. I don't know. You may have noticed deteriation in post quality I think the end may be near for ELEKTRO SAURUS LOVE but there will be different, better things in the year 2009. I'm looking forward to it.

WOW SUPER COOL ETCETERA



Street artist Flying Fortress has done the inevitable and made a vinyl toy of his famous army bears with none other than L.A.'s Buff Monster and of course it's glittery and cute. I might actually get one seeing as it is Christmas soon.Not that I'm the biggest supporter of Christmas.
I think it's a kind of plague that causes our culture to buy a lot of stuff. No one needs Christmas crackers really do they?

I'm in limbo it's the holidays I must save myself from daytime TV and excessive amounts of Caffeine and public swimming pools and Magpies. I think Magpies should be abolished or at least sent to a sanctuary where they put ex-politicians so they can eat their eyeballs instead of mine I just hate their I-Vant-To-Make-Your-Hair-Into-My-Nest schtick. Sorry if I've offended any Magpiphiliacs or Magpies.
*sigh* I'm going mad.
