Is that the bio with the inter-chapter bits about Ralf and Florian cycling in the future? Cause that's pretty average.

Yeah, I'm with you there… I get the feeling Florian was the more cynical, acerbic John to Ralf's Paul and any future Kraftwerk is going to be Wings… sorry, Flügels, das band Krafwerk could have been.

Yeah, it seemed thematically appropriate, more so than Venture Bros. which I also started rewatching last week in celebration of having got seasons 3 and both parts of 4 on DVD.

Yeah, this was a similar sort of deal… sadly it's only The Darjeeling Limited she's ruined for me, not something I only mildly like, like The Arcade Fire or Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

Yeah there tends to be a few people around on there, often on weekends they give you 2x or even 3x experience and then there's more. It's one of the few games my brother in London and I both own (he is poorly paid and is supporting his girlfriend through university, video games aren't a priority for him) so we meet up…

Yeah that's pretty much my style already. In ME2 I was all about the Charge + fully charged Geth shotgun blast.

Amazing, incredibly jealous!

Incredibly jealous of the Mangum… aside from being grateful, would you mind saying more about what the show was like? No new stuff, obviously?

I'm still at work like a chump (I live in the future/the other side of the International Date Line)!!! Thanks heaps for the heads up though, I will check it out when I get home.

Oh, and on Saturday morning I watched Swamp Thing on mute whilst talking on the phone to my brother who lives in London. Every time I looked up, Swamp Thing was picking people up and throwing them into swamps, until the time I looked up and Swamp Thing was fighting a werewolf who had a sword. I also saw one 'explosion…

So jealous of you RE Pulp and really feeling for you for both the job and the girlfriend… hope you can sort the latter? And, regardless of what happens, hope you can watch GoT afterwards? I had a situation with The Darjeeling Limited where my fiancee and I had talked about seeing it but for some reason she kept making…

Batsmen in real cricket don't really get entrance music but I'm sure they do in the Indian Premier League, so someday when I am coming in at number 4 for the Kolkata Knight Riders I will politely ask for either Can't Hardly Wait by The Replacements or Here I Am by Al Green.

Haven't tried the multiplayer yet but no doubt will soon. Will it be like Red Dead Redemption where I never ended up going back to the single player because multi was so good?

Have you ever tried mixing vodka with vegetable juice? I tried that once in the spirit of 'I'm drunk and have nothing else to mix this with' and ended up spending a decent chunk of the next day at work shitting my guts out.

I just moved back in with my parents, Yee Yee, though it's only until the end of July when I move overseas. It's kind of weird, because now that I'm 27 I don't feel like I can isolate myself in my bedroom listening to music/watching TV & films/reading books like I did when I was a teenager but at the same time I don't…

Friday: Went out drinking after work. Realised at 10.30 to my horror that my shift to the suburbs over Easter means I am now one of those chumps that has to take the last bus/train home at 11. Got home drunk and in a bad mood and started re-watching season 1 of Mad Men.

The skittlebraus I have made have ranged from average to passable. The trick is to use a lighter beer like an IPA or a Pilsner. The skittles at the bottom often end up tasting like KFC.

I really am a chronically depressed rodeo clown.

I saw the video for the title track on MTV's top 1000 of the 80s and 90s over the weekend and was reminded of the massive, massive crush 13 year old me had on Melissa auf der Maur. Ditto Natalie Imbruglia in the video for Torn.

Where's that?
