Random URLs that I tried that shouldn’t really exist, but do: Burn the World, whatthefuck.com, bored.com.

You know what? Sod the expense. I’m joining my local gym. Question – is it good to only be able to feel you can take the world on when you feel sexy? What happens when you stop feeling sexy through age? Or when you’ve got a bit fat and tired? Do you become a recluse and live in a hut? What then, eh? What then?

To what extent is it appropriate when one reaches thirty to still blame one’s parents for one’s complete inability to relate to other people and form long-lasting and emotionally satisfying relationships? Probably not fair at all. I should stop, really.

When I think of my parents, I think of that famous line, “With patricide, the parents are never completely free of blame”. I’ve always liked that. I don’t know where it comes from.

You know who else is cool (if under-represented on the interhighweb)? Serge, the Seal of Death. Now, he’s cool… Not hot, particularly. But cool. Definitely cool.

So I have a thing about geeks. What can I say? I like their passion, I like the fact they’re slightly bumbling, I like the innocuous clothing, I like the fact that there’s a nervousness, I like the being a bit shy. These things appeal to me. But I’m only human, and a red-blooded one at that, so I have to confess that on occasion a fairly well assembled young gent will turn my head. Until now, the two have never before met in one individual… Presenting, Tobey Maguire as Spiderman.

Blogger seems to have been buggered for at least the last 24-hours. I’ve lost many a fine post. Normal service will resume shortly.

Do you know where all the celebrities hang out in London? If so, do me a last minute favour and go and answer this nice person’s questions over at TCN…

There’s an interesting article at the moment over at The New York Times about a legal restriction on hyperlinking, which is pertinent to the KPMG debacle. One instance in which it is now illegal to link to something (in the US at least) runs as follows: “There had to be clear and convincing evidence that the person responsible for the link (a) knew at the time that the offending technology is on the linked-to site, (b) knew that the offending technology is illegal under the D.M.C.A., and (c) created or maintained the link for the “purpose” of disseminating the tainted code.” This refers to the distribution of DeCSS information that breaks the copy-protection on DVDs.

I’m frustrated by dorkslayers.

Particularly observant regulars may notice that I’ve removed the link to TCN from the right-hand column of plasticbag.org. This is because my short stint of regular employment is coming to an end. I have a week more before the sporadics of freelance life take over again. Thankfully I’ve got a large bottle of tequila left from Gideon’s last visit, so I doubt I’ll stay depressed for long…
