Hello, good evening and... WTF? Where the hell did all those comments come from? Spammers you say? No! Really?
God damned bots. Or zombie PC's. Or idiots. I tried going into my Gmail account and found that there were, oh, I don't know, several hundred comments of utter sh*te in there. Makes me wonder where the people who do this for a living get the time to indulge in their other hobbies of puppy hurting and stealing candy from babies. Bastards.
I wonder if the people who run these sites for penis enlargement have large, happy manhoods who have no need for this or whether they are some sad sacks who really have nothing better to do than to flood my blog. Keeps it alive at least I suppose....
Other Irritants
Kylie Minogue had breast cancer you know. However, unlike tens of thousands of other women who get breast cancer Kylie has a shit hot medical plan that probably requires her to have a 6 monthly check up, much like the one that Sharon Osbourne has. So, unlike hundreds of thousands of other women worldwide, Kylie's was caught at such an early stage that a masectomy was unlikely to be needed and she was pretty much guarenteed a full recovery.
Good for her. However please stop ramming this down our throats. She has excellent health cover and benefits, much like many other famous people, and this means that things like that, or drug addiction for other celebs, can be treated with an excellent chance of recovery. Most of the public may, it seems, be naive, but not all of it. Now shut up, resume your career and enjoy the gift of life.
Business
Things are going well here in the Capricious household. The new house is great, we laid flooring downstairs and I will never be repeated THAT exercise again thankyouverymuch, we have started to kit out the house in the things we want and all thanks to an increase in work. This means though that I will not be on here anything like regularly, but on the upside is some of you lot out there who have my email can DROP ME A LINE! I can get away with answering some personal emails on other people's time but not blogging :P
I spared a moment's thought for the people caught up in 7/7 and the anniversary (I remember the frantic emails from Contagion and Harvey asking if we were OK), but it was a peculiarly British thing - quite muted, no big fuss. We remembered, reflected, realised it could be like this for a long time, and moved on. It is quite possibly the biggest act of defiance we could have against the perpitrators of something like that - we accept that life goes on despite their best efforts.
Lack of decent summer films
Da Vinci Code? Crap. X-Men 3? Lacked the spark of its predecessors. Superman Returns? Not seen it yet but reviews look good. PotC? Wasn't really into the first one.
So who took all the decent summer films and hid them then? Eh? Own up! I sae the movie industry complaining about the low ticket sales. Perhaps if they made better films we would want to go and see them? Idiots! Your product is crap so we vote with our wallets - simple economics I would have thought. This is why file sharing is so popular - they see a bit of it (or all of it depending) then decide whether they want to go to see it or not. We're not convinced by trailers anymore (although the Jessie James thing with Brad Pitt looks very very good indeed, and Spiderman 3? Oh yes...).
I need a film to want to see. Recommend something to me!
