Odds and Sods - NEW POST PREMIER 8.00 EST

So I had call from a recruitment agency yesterday. They said they'd ring me back. Needless to say my expectation of them actually doing this falls into the theoretical gap between "none" and "zero"


When I see today that Egyptians are voting in a landmark poll. I hope the Sphinx wins as it's my favourite.


I'm announcing my retirement from Discovery Channel / National Geographic documentaries. They trail what happens at the start, then at the first break they tell us what happened before the commercial break, and then what will happen between now and the end of the show, repeating this at each subsequent break. One I watched spent so much time with an onscreen graphic telling me that in a week's time some new show was on, that I felt like I'd fallen into some strange temporal flux were now, then and the future had become indivisible. And I released; this future show they are plugging will, in turn, have a graphic on it telling me about another future show. And what of this further show? An infinity of teaser graphics, episode trailers and season premiers spun in front of me. Then my head started to hurt. Honestly? It is so bad these stations should just cut to the chase and rename themselves "Jam Tomorrow".

Meanwhile here is some music*

*Normally when I post stuff like this about twenty minutes later I think of something to "actually" post.
