Grace Notes @ Snarkattack

I love Randall Munroe. A major science nerd who actually knows what iambic pentameter is.

To keep sane at work I went through the entire archive of xkcd and was just one of the many ones that made me chuckle.

NB. Don’t forget to put your mouse over the image for more text. I *think* it works this time.

I didn’t take my anti-depressants yesterday (on Thurs night, went to the pub, drank too much, crashed at my place, left my meds at my folks’ place). Over 24 hours later, the glitching has begun. I feel like a character out of William Gibson’s Neuromancer, hehe.

Is it true? (I should stop sleeping so much…)

(also, I forgot to state in my last materialistic post that I also purchased a copy of Charles Vess’ The Horns of Elfland…SIGNED! and it’s older than me. Christ, that’s old)

I wrote a fragment of poetry today. I have had an electronic music track stuck in my head most of this week (Jan Jelinek’s ‘music to interrogate by’ from the album La nouvelle pauvrete) and it inspired some poetic tendencies which was good.

Thanks Rob for picking up my packages at the post office *grins*.

Today I came home (to my parents’ place where I am still currently staying) after a very nice and cheap Japanese dinner to discover that I had more packages waiting for me! Woo hoo!

I got…

Volumes 4 & 5 of Alan Moore’s Promethea comic (I don’t like it as much as Sandman but it’s very addictive)
Volume 6 of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman comic (M - I’m very jealous if you really did get all of the volumes for as much as you said. You lucky, seedy bastard)
a new lipgloss (MAC Fafi Squeeze It l/g!)
some Silk Road Trading Company soap (L - these smell wonderful! You must try them!)
some MAC Heatherette items

So glad for the comic books, just finished Neil Gaiman’s Marvel 1602 (imagine Marvel superheroes transplanted to Elizabethan England) and was panicking somewhat.

And christ you should see the list of hard-to-get CDs I have on the way…Life will never be the same now that I’ve joined Discogs. Next payday I’ve decided I’ll be getting Simon Schama’s History of Britain on DVD, am dying to watch it again.
