Fuck me. I’m sorry, but fuck me. Introducing a stupidly large list of weblogs courtesy of Ghost in the Machine.

It may seem like a slow day, but things are chugging along nicely behind the scenes. All I need now is slightly more time. A week off would be incredibly helpful. With Christmas approaching, you may think my dreams will shortly be coming true. But let me rephrase: a week off alone would be incredibly helpful. Too many projects to think through and develop. Much much too little time.

I’m about a thousand years out of date – I didn’t even know that the MediaGuardian was online. I’m a little surprised that they didn’t follow the *****unlimited.com convention that they do over the rest of the site. Todays stories include: “The Sun in Page 3 cybersquatting row”.

Celebrity encounters: Oxford Circus tube, 10.30am: Luke of CaptainFez.com infamy, wearing grey coat (pockets on the arse) and looking glazed and moist eyed. Morning old chap!

I’ve looked everywhere. I’ve looked in Variety, Hollywood.com, Independent, Megastar, Gist TV, Fox News and CNN. I’ve even looked at entertaindom. But nowhere in anywhere that I have looked can I find anything to support Kerry’s assertion that Robert Downey Jr had a Wonder Woman outfit in his hotel room when he was busted.

Addendum: Evidence Found (thanks to mirskyink). Also see The Smoking Gun for original documentation of the arrest.

“Gently does it: Mild sex can halve the risk of a heart attack” That’s right, ladies and gentlemen – even pointless, lacklustre, unimaginative, dreary, workaday, missionary, vanilla sex with someone you are bored with can have tremendous health benefits. So get out there today and actively pursue some mild sex today!

Rebrand Democracy with Oh Messy life.

I went to see Memento last night with a couple of friends from work. I’m still reeling a little. The people I went with seemed to find the film ‘obvious’ and ‘boring’. I, on the other hand, came out frustrated and mildly confused. It just didn’t seem to be as clear and definite an ending as my compatriots claim that it was. So I’ve been digging around on the net today to find some more insight into it. So far I’ve come up with these sites: IMDB, Guardian Unlimited Film of the Week, Movie Review Query Engine, Observer Film of the Week.

Robert Downey Jnr has been arrested again for drug possession. This time: Cocaine and Methamphetamine. I just don’t get it. At some basic primal level I just don’t get it. Why would he do it? Can someone explain that to me? Yahoo! News.

Assembled from a huge number of satellite images scanning the earth at night, this image from NASA is possibly one of the most stunning things I’ve ever seen. Be warned though – this is a fairly substantial download (500k-ish). [via metafilter]
