I’m starting to not give a shit about Tumblr at all. I mean, bar the 10-15 actually interesting blogs by people that I either know or actually post original things with an interesting commentary or viewpoint or whatever, it’s just a load of shit isn’t it? I don’t really care if you post an inordinate amount of pictures of that band that you like that are really average but...

Not been on Tumblr in a couple of days and at the moment the trawl through all the shite to see what interesting posts the 12 or 13 interesting blogs I followed said about Christmas seems a lot less appealing than eating leftover chocolate, drinking tea out of my MASSIVE new mug and playing some X-Box like a badass. So I won’t. Christmas was awesome. Me and Emma rule at making Christmas...
Dunno if I’m gonna get a chance to go on here tomorrow. I probably will, like, but in case I don’t, I hope you all have a bloody good Christmas. I’m a giddy monkey. My mum and Steve came round earlier on and they brought a bunch of presents and that, so there are a whole bunch sat right next to me. It’s pretty good. We went to Ciao Bella for some tea too. Which was odd, it...
My favorite dated Will Smith lyric:
myfeetwontstopmoving:
“I read in rap pages they refer to me as soft
Yeah, more like MicroSoft!”
WHAT DID YOU EVEN MEAN WILL SMITH?!
“2-0-0-0, Will 2-K.
The new Millenium, excuse me,
Willenium”.
I think genius isn’t a strong enough word.
Just showed Rob how to loose at Monopoly with...

‘cause I hammered you. Oh yeah.
… he’s still learning how to win with grace.
I don’t think I’ve ever met a man who is as much of a sore loser and a sore winner as Rob is.
John Terry has totally just tried to play the “I can’t be racists, some of my best friends are black” card after being charged with being a racist fuckhead.
What a fucking turd of a man.
Is thrilled to announce:
talkingtotalbollocks:
I didn’t have cheese dreams. wooopie.
ME NEITHER. HUZZAH.
Had some mad cheesy farts though. Because the Internet needs to know about that. Obviously.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to eat cheese again in the foreseeable future though.

Bored To Death has been cancelled.
popscenesters:
Oh for fucks sake. Bored To Death has been cancelled, and it’s implied here that the reason is that the show’s viewing figures plummeted in the third season. You know why they plummeted, though? It’s because HBO made every episode available online a week early, so no one actually needed to watch it on TV. This is exactly what I said would happen.
So, good job, HBO! You shot one...

I just got a Sponsored Ad thing on Facebook for GE. Which was odd. I have no idea what I would have said or done to warrant that, unless I talked about 30 Rock and it tries REALLY fucking hard to find ads related to everything you say.
Also, it was advertising the chance to win a trip to the UK. So yeah, I don’t know where the Internet thinks I live…
Good news everyone!
Face/Off finally finished downloading. That only took most of the day. Tempted to put it on now. But I should probably just go to bed. I can watch it tomorrow before Emma gets back.
That’ll be fun.
Also, just skipped through it a bit to make sure it all worked fine and everything and landed on the awesome bit where Nicolas Cage is being John Travolta being Nicolas Cage in prison beating...

What’s a polite way to say “I can’t remember who most of you are”?
Oh God. I went to a reunion with people from my primary school a couple of years ago. It was weird. These people that I hadn’t seen since I was 10. And I kind of got there a bit early and was taken aback by a cheap bar, so got a little bit ridiculously drunk. It was fun. Although I did have the...

490MB for a film? Bit small isn’t it?
Rob: You bloody love me really.
Other Rob: It’s an MKV file. I think. And aren’t they generally smaller files than .avi?
What’s that saying? Rough as arseholes? If that’s even a thing people say.
Sort of hanging today. The staff do was really good fun, but man, I’ve not been that drunk in quite a while. Still, it wasn’t really awkward at all. Instead I just had a really good night. And seeing coworkers get drunk and make fools of themselves is always boss.
Anyway, I’ve been to...
In other news...
SUPER JORDAN RHODES.
What a player.
Sorry Rob, that’s two football related posts in a row. I hope you don’t feel disillusioned by me…
Ah well.
To snatch a draw in the last 10 minutes is something I guess. Although to be lucky to get a point against a newly promoted side is a bit disappointing. Still, Norwich have been doing well recently, whereas we really haven’t. So I guess a point is fair. We just need someone who can bloody hit the target on a regular basis.
Say, didn’t this Nigerian lad score 4 goals for...
Gave shower booze a try after talking about it the other day. It’s pretty good. Once you get past the initial feeling of sleaziness beyond any other kind of sleaziness you’ve felt before, like. After that’s passed it’s pretty blooming decadent. In a totally scuzzy way. Doesn’t help that I was drinking 90p cans of Southern Comfort and coke.
My thumb didn’t end up blistering and looking all gross. Which was nice.
Anyway, tonight is the Staff Christmas Do for Clarks. I’m sort of weirdly looking forward to it, even if it is going to be a night of drinking with people that, despite working with them, I don’t actually know all that well. Plus I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen any of them outside of work...
Man, I'm going to have such a blister on my thumb...
I was lighting our advent candle (yeah, we have an advent candle, what of it?) with an old lighter, and the angle I was doing it and my ill-attentiveness meant that the fire was on my thumb for a little bit longer than it really should have been. It stings now, and I can feel a small blister coming along already, so something tells me there might be a pretty fierce one there tomorrow. I might even...

Angels and Airwaves are touring the UK again in April. I really want to get tickets, because they’re amazing and they have an incredible live show I don’t give a toss what anyone thinks. Anyway, if I do get tickets it’ll mean that in the time between getting tickets for Blink and actually seeing Blink, I will have seen Angels and Airwaves twice.
Which is totally fucking...
In fact, shit. Boys and Girls in America is an awesome album. And I’ve not listened to it for fracking ages.
What’s the matter with me?
Goddamn, Stuck Between Stations is a belting song.
Not listened to The Hold Steady in blooming ages. I feel it’s time for me to change that.
Also, after today’s shift at work, I’ve become convinced that people are a right bunch of bastards (well, about 80% of them at least) and hardly any of them are aware that words such as ‘Please’ and ‘Thank You’ exist.
Ah well, fuck ‘em.
I just saw Justin Beiber freak out on a drum kit with an actually pretty impressive drum solo. Looked like he was actually playing it and all.
He’s not all that bad really, is he?
I mean, a lot of people hate him a little bit too much, but what’s the point? I mean, in the long run, it won’t make any difference to his life or your life. So you don’t like him? Who cares....
