    theyyyyy can't stop
    And it's happening
    never planned on this
    you've got something I need?
    kind of dangerous

    and I'm losing control
    I'm not used to this
    what you want from me?
    I'm not used to this

    I can't shut it offffffff
    this thing ... I've become
    and it's hard to tell
    just
    where it's coming from

    and it's hard to see
    what I'm capable of
    and it's hard to believe
    just what I've become.

    [[ If I knew back then
    What I know right now. ]]

    THEY CAN'T STOP
    ME?
    I'm NOT

    THEY CAN'T STOP
    ME?
    I'm NOT

    I seem to have a satire caught in my throat...


    Murdoch announces plan to cut off nose


    In an exclusive interview with one of his employees, Rupert Murdoch announced that it was time to draw a line in the sand in his constant battle to frustrate freeloading consumers by scheduling extensive rhinoplasty.

    Hell FUCKING yes.
    IT IS WITH SOME CONSIDERABLE FUCKING PLEASURE

    THAT I JUST BOUGHT SOME FUCKING SIZE 36 JEANS

    AND FIT INTO THEM WITH MILES TO SPARE.
    Almost tried some 34s, but didn't want to spoil my jubilation

    This is as opposed to the horrifying size 38 that I had been for the last three or four fucking YEARS, and which sickened and disgusted me to realise I had become. This monstrous waist and circumstance led to my having to spend the intervening time like a kind of fucking sartorial leper, hobbling from shop to shop, buying jeans because they HAD some size 38s, not because I liked those particular jeans, begging shop assistants to just kill me and put me out of my trouserial misery.

    Yes, indeed, ladies, gentlemen and sexual man-leopards from the planet Zorbon Prime (with your high-bandwidth, testicular internet connections) - there is now, very tangibly, slightly fucking less of me to love.

    If you ask very, very nicely, you may lick me.

    LICK ME.

    LICK ME NOW.

    rage
    Frustration is:

    When your super-cheap, super-convenient USB and VGA KVM switch FINALLY arrives on the slow-boat from hong-kong, realising that you don't have a spare VGA lead.

    FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU...

    The Box.
    Probably need to get this Hellraiser fixation out of my system sooner rather than later.

    I just opened my LJ client to find the unposted phrase:

    What's your pleasure, sir?

    If I didn't know that it was ME that left that there for ME, having been too drunk, beligerent or just plain weird to not actually post it, I might be quite spooked.

    Don't appear to have set my desktop to THE BOX, so that's a winner.

    3 movies down, 4 to go, I think.

    Objective C warnings
    augh!

    Any Objective-C coders lend me a hand?

    All of my static arrays get warns as being not used (they're all used, trust me).

    I think it's a scoping issue, that they're defined in the C-like context, not belonging to any Objective-C object, then referred to within Objective-C classes, but as they're not touched in the context they were created in, they somehow get flagged as unused.

    It's not fatal, but it's making a fucking mess of my output window, with hundreds of unnecessary warn lines.

    Anyone got a clue?

    Yours,

    Today's fun webcomic find from IRC:



    John and John

    It's crude and crass and takes a while to get funny, but has given me a few real belly laughs :)

    Quite similar to the often excellent explosm in places.

    I'm here to turn the volume up.
    Finished watching Hellraiser III, it was excellently crap :) I love things that reek of the 90s. You could tell from the awful font at the very start that you were about to watch some Quality.

    Also, this evening, I bought iSequence for the iPod Touch (/iPhone), made a little tune on it in about 20 mins. It's good fun! Another ace toy to make musical sketches with, which I can develop into full songs later.

    DeathBoy - Hypnobeat (sketch)

    As I say, this was less than a half hour's noodling, uses 5 channels (the app only has 5!), and just 4 patterns, with me riding the volume levels to give it a bit of song texture / bring elements in and out.


    (not my video, but a good demo)

    The built in soft synth sounds are good, lots of decent lead synths, pads, basslines, etc, and some meaty drum kit noises.

    In terms of sequencing, it resembles a tracker with a horizontal time graph.

    So yar. Pleasant ending to a basically shit day, thanks to new software toys and awful horror movies.

    Just waiting up to see if kirsten appears before I go to bed.

    I shall read the next Polity book by Neal Asher, as I just finished the 1st one, Prador Moon, and quite enjoyed it.

    Night night, ballbags!

    You go to a Morrissey gig and you throw a bottle at a 50 year old man who was taken off stage with a heart problem just the other week.

    And then you boo the fact that he stops the show.

    ah, Liverpool, how I love thee.

    The Long, Dark Tea-Time of the Soul
    Done the bigger part of my chores.

    House is tidy.

    Feel a bit shitty though.

    No Corben. No Kirsten.

    Nobody around.

    Suddenly seized by a complete lack of interest in doing anything.

    Movies and computer games and books and all the things I do to fill my mind up all become eventually quite hollow, because really, all they do is stop the gears in my head from grinding at each other.

    They're fuck-all replacement for the company of loved-ones.

    Blew out offers of company this weekend because I have to catch up on the bloody day job, which at the moment is the only reason for not sliding myself into the cosy bottom of a bottle.

    I shall get some work out of the way. Then I can do that, at least.

    I feel contagious somehow.

    I try to talk to people and they find other things to do, or places to be. I normally know when i'm in the kind of mood that drives people away from me, and this ain't it. So I don't know what's wrong with me right now. I don't feel horrific, just a bit numb. Possibly the anti-depressants have flat-lined me a bit.

    I seem to spend a lot of time staring out of windows at the moment.

    Man, I fucking hate sundays.

    I could have planned this better
    Today, I have a sore throat (ill + smoking) a hangover (clever boy) a fucked up back (from being ACTION DAD with corben and vaulting a tree in the park), something closely resembling the flu and it's my day to do fucking house chores.

    I'm going to look pretty ugly in a washer-woman outfit, I can tells ya.

    Oh, mercy.

    Load mp3 player with comedy. Put on headphones and trousers. Get this shit done. Go in bath. Go back to bed and watch more Hellraiser movies, possibly play Fallout 3.

    I can do this.

    In my mind, this would be awesome.

    This took way too long to make.

    I have had a handful of BALLS days in the last month or so, but am henceforth pulling my head out of my arse!

    THINGS TO SEE, PEOPLE TO DO!

    Also, this morning, I weighed 201lbs... down from 220. I am fucking awesome, me. If I can get down to 196 (14 stone) and keep it there, I will be absolutely over the moon :)

    According to BMI things, I should be 12 stone? Pft. BMI is retarded.

    Corben's coming round in a bit, going to watch some Pixar movies with him and get some work done.

    Might add some more lyrics t' deathboy site if I can be arsed.

    Also, we got an (ENTIRELY needed) extension to our project, so work is less abject.

    Hurrah!

    putting words together

    Caden's now a year and seven months old.  I know where *does* the time go? 
    Tuesday before last I had the day off and we went to a farm near St.Albans to see the animals, go on a tractor ride,  and pick a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch.   When we got back to the car it was getting dark and there was a half moon in the sky.  Caden pointed to it and calmly announced, "Moon broken."  
    It was the first time he'd put two words together of his own accord.

    CogRock + Lyrics
    I've updated deathboy.co.uk with the lyrics for the most recent work-in-progess album "CogRock"

    You can find the lyrics [HERE]

    And the album is [HERE]

    Probably the best track so far is BuddhaBox.

    (this is based on my opinion of the future of DeathBoy being triphop)

    My Life: The Soundtrack
    Technically I don't have time for this but I have two flimsy justifications to hand:

    1. I'm making pea soup with dried peas that are... 6 years past their best before date. I can't go to the library until they're soft enough to eat, and they've already been boiling for nearly 90 mins.
    2. I haven't posted anything here for ages and need to kick-start the blogging. This seems an easy (if self-indulgent) way and hopefully more worthwhile and interesting posts will begin to flow.

    So then, the method is explained fully over at Pop Sensation and similar ideas have been pinging about Facebook etc. for a while. The following list is the product of shuffling my "good stuff" playlist, which excludes all the sample RP telephone calls and business negotiations I use for teaching. I don't consider this to be cheating.

    Violetta Crisis: The Soundtrack
    Opening credits:Live Forever - OasisA very optimistic point of view and a very good song.
    Waking up: Waterloo Sunset - The KinksIsn't there a film where someone wakes up to this? It's a great opening riff to start your day with.
    First day of school:Sorted for E's and Whizz - PulpHmmm. Well there was none of that at my C of E primary school but I guess it clearly conveys the general bewildered wanting-to-call-your-mother feeling.
    Falling in love:If I ever lose my faith in you - StingThere are dozens of songs I've listened too obsessively whilst falling in love. This was never one of them.
    Breaking up:Bitch - Meredith BrooksYes, yes I was.
    Prom:Go let it out - OasisI always hated school / uni discos. In this scene, I'm relaxing in the grounds with an illicit bottle of vodka.
    Mental breakdown:When Logics Die - SoulwaxPerfect!
    Driving:Rip her to Shreds - BlondieI don't drive, but this is a good song for stomping about angrily to.
    Flashback:Half the lies you tell aren't true - The StereophonicsOooh, a resentful flashback
    Getting back together:The Time is Now - Moloko (orig. album, not the remix)Appropriate lyrics and not at all sappy.
    Wedding:Love and Affection - Joan ArmatradingIncredibly that's the one of three real possibilities. The others are "Dancing in the Moonlight" by Thin Lizzy or "Ava Adore" by The Smashing Pumpkins.
    Birth of child:Common People - PulpIt had to be on the soundtrack somewhere, but why here?
    Final battle:C'mon People - Paul McCartney...which I listen to when battling my own apathy. Not a bad choice.
    Death scene:Shiver - ColdplayMy favourite Coldplay song, but far too uplifting to die to.
    Funeral song:Save Tonight - Eagle-eye CherryWell now you're just taking the...
    End credits:Hazy Shade of Winter - The BanglesI'm seeing... skeletal trees and swooping shots of a fog-filled Lake District.

    Personally, I'd have swapped the beginning and end credits (having been born in the middle of winter), and played Boston's "More than a feeling" at the prom (cheesy, but it has to be done) and Pink Floyd's "Fearless" at the funeral.
    I now need to pick out a good song for a "essay-planning montage with music". Or I could waste less time and actually do the bloody work. Hmmm.
