Immorality!! Vice!!

I'm finding recent kerfuffles about an assortment of people having fun consensual sex with people with whom they form a second relationship with a person who is not their appointed spouse or partner rather amusing. It's also rather depressing at the same time.

One of the key reasons I find this depressing is because of the mundanity of it, I mean, famous men through history have always enjoyed a degree of freedom to shag who they bloody well please, and folk have been knobbing people that they shouldn't either accidentally or deliberately for centuries. It becomes an appalling mockery when the judiciary support this kind of behaviour - ffs - the nation will not pitch off it's axis because a person had sex with another one, however the risk of spousal revenge must weigh heavy on underformed minds.

I think we need to get the message out

"We don't care who you knob, as long as you don't lie through your teeth. Man up, tossers."

Lots going on....

Pop

For someone who professes to be a bit of an indie kid, I really love *good* pop music. The thing is that pop (which is a terribly dismissive way of describing some utterly fantastic songs) is how most people access music and quite a lot of the time, do not really get the opportunity to access different types and genres. I don't hear genre, I just hear what hits me with the tune cattle prod at the time.

Tender of finger tip

Lately my guitar practice has had that vile air of twatfulness that comes from trying something that you used to know really well, and completely bollocksing it up. It's disheartening to say the least. However I've used a strategy to limit what I play regularly to about 15 songs and concentrating on them, rather than buggering on in a generally unfocused and unproductive way. Almost every day. It's also helped by the fact that I don't get wrist fatigue anymore (Thanks again Daisy Rock Guitars). I'm glad to say it appears to be working, and it's working to the extent that I'm even starting to start singing at the same time too. Which is great as it's something I used to be able to do quite readily and without much fear.

Another thing that helps is being around both virtually and in the real world, folk who play. It provides a great incentive to not suck!

Also my sister has expressed an interest in learning the bass....

Spiral - BBC4

I've caught up with Spiral and as predicted, I'm addicted.

However, remind me never to get arrested in France!

Monday

And todays claim to fame is that a friend of mine congratulated me on and another has nominated the adjective "stabby" tweeted by myself this morning to @oedonline.

Other news: I played the guitar a bit.

"Waking the Dead" was also very good and it shall be missed. A sensible, believable ending with a very nice touch of the visual metaphor of Boyd re-entering society as he walked through the bright and busy London crowds.

Ode to Spring (Thursday)

And thus we're blessed with lighter nights and yellow nodding blossoms,
To cast off winters gloomy plight and all that's old and rotten,
Birds bellow in the early morn and snow and dark forgotten,
But tell me why you bring to me a rash upon my bottom?

*heartily slaps self in stark realisation that writing doggerel in the style of William McGonagal about allergies is unforgivable*

(it was late, alright???)
