Happy New Decade!

Yikes that's 2009 almost over with already. How did that happen? It doesn't feel all that long ago we were all being told about the planes falling out of the skies because of the Millenium Bug!

Oh how the times have changed, he says typing this on his iPhone! In 1999 I think I had only just got 26.6kbps Dial-Up Internet access on my Windows 95 PC. How did we cope back then? Think my first e-journal entries could date back that far. I think I may still have the backup copies on floppy disc somewhere, if only there were someway to ready them! Still have mini-discs from that era. Remember them?

Anyway since we're now about to enter the future of 2010, thought that I should come up with some lists, as is the social convention of for this time of year. And, since I'm currently on the train back to Glasgow because my car is stuck in a snow drift up in the Heathen North, I've got time to kill!

So... Here. We. GO:

Just Three Words

Not the biggest fan of her work, either as solo artist or Girls Aloud, but I am loving this Steve Angelo remix of Three Words by Cheryl Cole ft Will.I.Am

Yes, that IS the question

Shakespeare clearly can't compete with a book with jigsaws in it though...

Homo Be Gone

Compare and contrast the original:



With the new "official trailer":



Why feel the need to de-gay-ify the first trailer? It's 2009 for cryin' out loud! Think audiences are smart enough to know this is a "gay film" sorry a film about a gay man.

Actually it could be a clever marketing gamble, a bit of controversy surrounding the re-editing of the trailer is certainly getting people talking about the film

Argh!

Major problem with this BlogPress app is that if someone calls you midway through you typing something, it drops what you've written when you end the call. Like what just happened to me before I saved the essay of a post I was working on!

What was it about? Guess you'll never know now will ya!

Quarter Century

Eugh! Only 259 weekends left! It's not fair! Can I stop aging now!

Anyway had a really great birthday on Thursday. Just had a few friends round to the flat, after watching the fireworks on Glasgow Green, for booze and food that I'd been cooking all afternoon (mmm Cherry Coke Gammon...)



Although I had to fight them off my birthday present from the best boyfriend in the world. Those that follow my Flickr will already know that I got a Millenium Falcon replica, with real working lights, missile launchers and phrases from the movies! Also, who knew the Falcon had it's own mini fighter/ shuttle pod?



It's so awesome!

Anyway other pressies included; Dollhouse season 1 DVD boxset, The Big Bang Theory season 2 DVD set, Burt&Ernie Adventures and Another Gay Sequel on DVD. An X-Men graphic novel (X-Men: Endangered Species), a gorillapod for my camera and money from Mother, which has already gone towards new shirt and T-Shirt.

Also got taken out for birthday dinner at the City Merchant on Saturday, fantastic steak!

Building Bridges

So with the new blog comes the need for a new blogroll.

As with my own blog, a lot of the people I used to follow have lost the appetite to maintain a regular blog. That said there are those that persevere and continue to post something fairly regularly.

So what's new out there in the blogsphere? Who are all the kids following these days? Leave your suggestions in the comments section below.
