Several people have been organising trips to go see X-men 3 in the next few days. Is it too late for me to insinuate myself onto one of them? Anyone? Bueller?

Opening Credits
Alan Moore – Syon
Evidentally, the story of my life is a mentalist art house thing, if it’s going to open with a ten minute mediation on transcendence.
(Edit, post finishing: Yes. When they come to make the movie of my life, I will have apparently been mostly all fucked up on drugs. It’s skewed Crusty where Trainspotting went Dance, I think. Either way, this is all a bit fucked up, and I would like to get it cast now, in the hope that they can go and live it so I don’t have to.)
Notice:
It is very important that you go here and read the first ten pages of Phonogram issue #1, on sale, erm, some time soon.
Because it’s quite funny. And slightly interesting. And the art isn’t bad.
Focus Shift
Or rather, shift back. I span the not directly new media related links off into another site a short while ago. I don’t feel it’s worked, so they’re coming back here. Expect more links, and it means the focus of this thing shifts back to “shit that interests me”, rather than just “new media/webtech”, although since that’s my main interest, it just means it’s liable to be a bit more holistically culture/futurism/media/cheap laughs centered, rather than just techy crap.
This entry was originally published at my workblog.
A personal first:
Paid overtime.
My calendar for the near future appears quite uncharacteristically empty anyway, but I suspect I’m not going to be free most evenings for the next month or so. Just on the offchance anyone was planning to invite me to things.
Sitting By The Train Tracks Reading Kafka To The Sky
Just in case anyone that was at South London Pacific is interested: Jason’s new limited edition EP “Eleven Saints” is available for pre-order. For under a tenner, including international shipping, you can get a 15 track CD, and limited edition vinyl. One might make some remark about a 15 track CD being more like an album than an EP, but he’s calling it an EP…
Only 1111 of them available, and I’ve already had one, so if you want it, order soon.
One for the West Wing fans
A six minute teaser for Aaron Sorkin’s new Show, “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip“.
Timothy Busfield looks strange without the beard.
Just a gentle reminder:
There are quite a number of people who pledged cash in exchange for the shaving of my head. And while many of you have already stumped up, there’s a fair number that haven’t yet.
I’m sure there are plenty of you that are just waiting for payday, or things like that, but I just thought I’d remind you about it, in case it’s just slipped people’s minds.

(Those of you who might be waiting to give me the cash in person: please don’t. If you donate through that link, then the tax (assuming you’re not foreign( is automatically claimed back for the charity. If however, I get money from you, then donate for you and enter it as “cash recieved off-line” then for legal reasons, that site cannot claim the tax back for Cancer Reasearch. You have until June 3rd, at which point the donations page will shut down.)
Show of hands…
Quick , in the last half hour before I dash off for the weekend: who’s at the Dresden Dolls gig tonight? Who’s going to be in the Ship beforehand?
Attention whisky drinkers:
The new batch of Compass Box’s lovely Spice Tree is out.
Compass Box have lost that fight though, and this will be the last batch ever made.
Thought you’d like to know.
