Linkdump – proto edition

I’m going to re-design this entire site, at some point soon. One of the things I want to add is a related links section on each page, so that I can get permalinks to stuff. For example, this page ought to have links to my favourite blogs, really.

Until I get around to that, some quick mentions:

Tom Coates, another Invisibles fan, has managed to take some deeply improbable colours and make a thing of beauty with them, over at Barbelith. His content is pretty top notch, too.

Lyssa Hamilton-Percival is a self proclaimed bitch. There’s usually something of interest linked on her blog somewhere.

Does the fact that I read and enjoy Charlotte’s Breast Chronicles make a chauvinist pig? Also, she has a ace domain name.

I came to Kitschbitch through Tom’s site, and rather enjoy it.

Finally, The Memepool. Always something mad and strange.

Watching Them

As you’ve gathered, if you’ve read the rest of the site, I’m a bit of a comics freak, and I’ve just found these annotations to Alan Moore’s Watchmen. I may be some time.

Pottery Barn

Those of you who’ve read my comments on consumer culture may be interested to know that I wasn’t entirely mad, or so it would seem. Apparently, Pottery Barn paid for the right to have an episode of Friends built around Pottery Barn, and have the six inspid little bastards spend it surrounded by Pottery Barn gear. Info from Adbusters. Fear and nausea entirely my own.

Ikea

Spent the morning at Ikea shopping for furniture for the new flat (T-7 days). I got the strangest looks from everyone at work when I told them I was going shopping at Ikea. 7 days before leaving, I discover I have a reputation around my office as a strange and frightening man, who is apparently far to odd to do normal things like buy furniture. Perhaps it’s good that I’m getting out of there.
