  It's nice to be able to write with a non spit-marked TFT screen (thanks to some long sought after computer wipes in Queensway - a trip that involved witnessing a van with a man singing to a happy tune, with bubbles coming out of his exhaust - I don't do drugs!
) I quite like the new single 'Trick Me' by urlLink Kelis . Infact I liked her last one. I detested her "hate you right now, argh" beginnings, but I wonder should I invest in her 'Tasty' LP? I had a few things to say as I approached writing this, but, uh, they're slipping away. Couldn't be arsed yesterday. Dave and I tried to force a 'big phone debate' last night, but it didn't work. It sucks when we agree; there's no heat on things.
Half Life 2 & Doom 3 PC games are out in September! I know what I want for my silver anniversary of living!!! The pre-versions of both games were titles I loved in my teens. Man, development took a long time. Valve sounds like a good name for something. I dunno how it entered my head, but I'll see what I can do with it. Lazy at the mo. and with going to Dublin soon I have no impetus to do anything proper 'til then or after; even then I'm going Legoland after.
I will waffle a bit on something that I find funny that Dave and I could've expanded on: self-racism (in specific purely colour than stereotype based). A number of white (or those particularly who like to call themselves 'sickly pale') often want to be darker, and a number of black people want to be lighter (see how many black musicians in videos these days look lightened - or perhaps thats an issue to do with video makers etc. ), and those with a skin tone inbetween sometimes pander to either side too and I find it funny. Because: a) 'sickly pale' which as a naturally tan coloured person to me is just a nice cooling white, is way way more attractive than skin cancer Oxo colour or Kat Slater orange.
Honestly. b) 'sickly black' is what I'd describe the washed-out appearance on severely made-up black persons (exc. Michael Jackson who has reached an alien see-thru grey). An off coffee looking shade leaves them neither white or tanned. c) 'sickly asian' is Asians of all types (Indians/Japanese etc. ) who insist on dying their hair blonde for instance. DON'T! You look horribly wrong and diseased; it's hard to know where your skin/hair begins. And then more funky bright colours don't help either.
And then there's the Ali G image *shiver* My point being is, that modifications are good because they pepper you to individuality. But there are some real no-no's that occur because of dissatisfaction with the self-tone. Black, white or tan, the chances are you look brilliant as you already are. Don't ruin it!
