My trip to Asia begins here in Japan for an important reason. It begins here because, for a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times. From that alliance has come an era of peace in the Pacific

Theory. Man is sentient because cooked meats have altered proteins which had an unexpected side effect 500,000 years ago. Proof: vegetarians.

Friday I popped out for a drink, waved at mage and Ray, Freddie popped out to say hai as well and we were joined later on by bittersweet, hotoli, lovecoffee and liam. Somehow ended up in the Swan, which was dire as ever. Had munchies, cabbed home via the dodg...

But I have a new TV, new PS3 and new bookshelves. And some Blu-Ray discs. It makes me very happy.

I am now the proud owner of an HD plasma panel. And about to be the proud owner of a PS3 and some Blu-Ray discs to play on it. I think I’m quite happy about that but also quite poor. Oops 😉

Bought Radiohead’s new album yesterday. Properly, like, with cash and got one of them CD things.
Imagine if you held their entire career up in front of a mirror and then shattered the mirror and captured the reflected bits on a CD and released it.

So I bought an iPod Touch on Sunday, after having fiddled with Tom’s at the beach barbecue (which was SUPERB FUN if I do say so myself). Popped down to Waitrose and grabbed one, keeping in line with my mission to buy absurd expensive pointless things when hungover.
