It ain't over til it's over

Facebook. I succumbed to it's flirting. I'm currently dipping my toes into the grand pool that is facebook. And it makes me miss blogger. I liked to write. To post something up, and see what happens. On facebook, someone metaphorically jabs you in the tits (actually, they wittily call it 'nobbing'. Do you want to nob Billy? it says), and says 'alright'. You then reciprocate this sentiment, ad infinitum. It allows us to natter with our mates, in spite of time and space, which is truly wonderous.

But it's not blogger. There's less pontificating and wistfulness. Everything's written in the second person. There's less to hide on facebook. Facebook is a self-proclaimed 'social utility'. But what about alcohol? That's my social utility. What was the matter with that? I've posted one comment on someone's wall, while drunk, and it looks stupid now. How do the socially anxious get into facebook? With difficulty and sobriety, I assume. Oh well.

I still love you, blogger.

Can you hurry up please, I left my gas on in my car! Boom Boom

Hello sailors,
Here's my recent, and perhaps wrong, thougts:
It's lucky I live in London. Because in other parts of the country it's flooding. Not only is London warm and dry, but it is populated by politicians and money. Therefore, it is in unlikely we will flood- like the poor in Yorkshire. Or, indeed, those in New Orleans.

Smoking on trains was great. No one will ever smoke on trains again. Something about the yellow walls was timeless. Everything else is painted and re-painted and designed for modern, aseptic living. But the yellow on the walls, that was people's exhaled stresses and histories painted onto the wall. A bit like carcinogenic graffiti.

If the police is trying to track down the perpetrators of the bomb attack, and looking at people's previous, they could look closely at the CIA- when it comes to intefering in other country's politics by provoking or assasinating, they're quite good. They stand to gain from encouraging a new PM, who's meant to lean towards anti-war, to prove he's tough by endorsing the war on terror. I've since revised this thought, since the outcome could easily go the other way. And the remarkable set of coincidences that led to the bomb discoveries etc., seems like they were intended to explode. Unless them cars were never going to be detonated. Anyway, the sooner we stop fighting wars that provoke this sort of thing, the better. The best way of avoiding violent attacks, is not carrying any out. It's scary, really.

Um... Not much else. Oh. The last episodes of Doctor Who were amazing. Properly epic, and every bit as good as any films to appear recently. People who disparage the format of television should watch it.

This tv is more dubious- it's on youtube, but it's not loading well.

Bye
