Brain-death
Posted: Fri 2 December, 2005 Filed under: General, Thoughts Leave a comment »For some reason my brain is currently feeling inactive. It’s not really woken up at all just yet.
The weekend begins here, apparently.
No idea how much updating will be done today – maybe little, maybe lots. Let’s see if my brain re-boots on demand.
Faithless
Posted: Tue 29 November, 2005 Filed under: General 1 Comment »Off tonight to see Faithless at Brixton Academy. Second time we’ll have seen them this year, so let’s hope it’s good.
And no, I’m not taking my camera, not after the farce last time I went to Brixton Academy…

Or Sunday. We’re at a quiz night that we’ve helped organise tomorrow night, so that may account for a fair amount of time tomorrow too.
Children In Need
Posted: Fri 18 November, 2005 Filed under: General 3 Comments »I was going to write a small rant about Children In Need and the like today, but what with one thing and another, just never got round to it.
So add your own swearwords in here for the moment about the pox-ridden event, and I’ll probably write something more about it over the weekend, or on Monday. It all depends how I feel, really.
400 years on
Posted: Sat 5 November, 2005 Filed under: General Leave a comment »Four hundred years ago today, Guy Fawkes entered the Houses of Parliament with the intention of blowing it up. Some would say he was probably the last person to enter Parliament with honest intent.
If the plot had succeeded, life today would almost certainly be very different. (although on a cynical note it’s worth pointing out that that article was published on the April First)
Sorkin’s Back
Posted: Fri 21 October, 2005 Filed under: General 1 Comment »According to the Media Guardian, creator of the West Wing Aaron Sorkin is coming back – unfortunately, not to the West Wing.
NBC has committed to 13 episodes of Studio 7, a behind-the-scenes satire set in a Saturday Night Live-style late-night comedy show, which is shaping up to be one of the hottest new properties coming out of the US next year.
“This project is a noisy, compelling combination of bold drama and laugh-out-loud comedy,” the NBC entertainment president, Kevin Reilly, said.
However, Studio 7 may prove a little close to bone for NBC bosses. The pilot opens with an executive producer of the fictitious late night comedy show launching into a tirade about the current state of TV, with people eating worms on screen – which is regarded as a clear reference to NBC reality show Fear Factor.

Well hallelujah – it’ll be good to see what Sorkin comes up with.
La Brand

Have fun!
