I've just discovered the iTunes Radio station and i'm listening to K-ROCK for the first time. At full volume. With my headphones on. In an empty office.
I'm beginning to see the bright side :)

growl
Yesterday I couldn't go to a funeral because of my stupid f***ing job and today I cancelled my leave to finish off what I was doing yesterday, and subsequently I'm missing a big family party in the South.
I f*cking hate my job so much and get f*ck all thanks for what I do.

Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamie Smart
I've had a cruddy last few days in terms of bad news and shiz, so last night me and Stace (de la Racks) cheered ourselves right up with a bloody awesome interview with Jamie Smart. www.fumboo.com The actual recording is a bit rubbish and it sounds like Jamie is mumbling so we'll probably get some shit for it but we had such a fuckin laugh I don't care :D
Genuinely nice, humble bloke who put up with us for over 2 hours while we got way to familiar with him ('Jamie, do you need to tinkle?'), but that just goes to show what a regular sound bloke he is. We had tons of questions from people and asked most of them even though Jamie got way more excited about the question 'what are your top three favourite biscuits?' than any comic-related ones :)
Plus I got to tell him about Tank Girl being re-launched in the latest Judge Dredd Megazine (prompting the comment 'wow, you're better than my mum').........which he was proper excited about - i think - he might have just been being polite.
anyhoo, he is awesome and so are his creations Ubu Bubu, Angry Little Robot, Space Raoul, DFC Olympics, and his work on Desperate Dan is pretty damn peachy too.

Dark Knight tonight
Oooooooooooooooooooooo I am both excited and dreading tonight - I finish work early, grab some food and go straight out with the other half to see Batman :D
I am so excited about this film it is ridiculous..but I am dreading going cuz the cinema we go to is in the middle of nowhere (in Nantgarw), has a bowling alley next to it, and its Orange Wednesday - so all the snotty local kids get in their souped-up pimp-mobiles and make the place look and feel like kicking out time at the roller disco...only with Mad Dog 20/20 involved.
Hate Nantgarw with a passion..but it was the closest place to go on preview night. At least we've got our tickets already printed out.
Now...where's my tazar gun?.....

Ubu Bubu ROCKS
Yeah I should have done one of these sooner - maybe I'll do some in retrospect....since I fell and hit my head I've turned into a bit of a goldfish (more than normal, honest) so whenever I DO think 'oo I'll post that on my blog', i promptly forget 2 seconds later....
BUT this is so coooooooooool I had to post it up - Jamie Smart who wrote Ubu Bubu (which for the unitiated is a FUCKING AWESOME comic book about a demon living inside a cat - published by Slave Labor Graphics - and contains such FUCKING AWESOME gems as Ubu Bubu spelling out 'Suck My cat Nuts' in his puke) has asked if he can be on our podcast.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Yeah, he might be joking but I'm doing a happy dance anyway. He says:
"once again, missus and missuses, you have made my tiny little fluttering ego heart leap a little in needy joy at hearing your glowing review of my comic brain defunctions. it can be weird realising the idiocy one puts to paper can cause someone else to laugh, i still can’t get me head around it. at least i haven’t caused bum floods from anyone yet, thats a physical response i’m not after.i think i love your podcast. can i be on it? i don’t know anything about comics or anything, but i can do a dance. it’s obscene and people die though.

Wow, haven't done of these in a looooong time.
So I had my first saturday free from editing (which I love it just takes up the whole day cuz I'm a fiddler)..so I went into Cardiff, had Starbucks and Sushi (octopus and everything!) and then went to the 2 comic shops there (Planet and the independant Comic Guru) and managed to spend £20 in each of them :O
I picked up a real-life copy of Gnome by Dave Dwonch which is brilliant - I was jammy enough to be sent a pdf copy to read but having the real thing in my hands is brilliant. he's a top guy is dave and I'm really chuffed for him to have another comic out. Which reminds me I have to pick up Special Education #2 sometime.
I also got the 2 latest 2000AD's. I've really got back into this with a bit of a passion (i used to buy it years ago) - some of the artwork is phenomenal, and the writing is pretty brill too. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the creators at Bristol Con now, now that I actually know what they do.
Picked up loads of other stuff which I shall blah on about later, but now I have to go watch Pushing Daisies episode 3 - it's my brand new 'oh-my-god-this-programme-is-amazing' show and i already don;t want it to end :)

Happy Happy Joy Joy
Well I'm still editing my first episode of Comic Racks..and I now know what a 'Stacey pause', an an 'Iz sniff', and a *drinking* noise look like in Audacity..one thing I haven't worked out is how to turn my bellowing down when I get excited. Which is quite a lot. Hmm.
Today is pretty cool so far, I have a half day (which is always lush), and I'm sat in my house editing in my Yeti slippers, waiting for the carpet-measuring man to arrive. Rock n roll.
It's a pretty big achievement for me cuz it's taken me and Rich 2 years to get off our arses and buy real carpet for our house to replace the 'temporary' strips that we've had dotted about since we moved in.
Woot!!
