Jpod:the movie

I haven't read the Douglas Coupland book but am aware of its topic. This film trailer of the Jpod movie looks very unfunny.

Don't arm wrestle a pirate

I've managed to buy some Mighty Boosh tour tickets for Brighton Dome a day before their release thanks to the Modwolves club I'm a member of. It's finally paid off and will hopefully get front row seats for their live show next November.

They also have a MySpace entry which features more drawings.

All week I had been watching other ebay auctions close and expected a loss but I didn't even get my reserve price and had to offer them at at a £150 below cost! Tonight, Kerry will be entertained by the greedy pop-bitch herself in the company of Tony, her old friend/hairdresser. Not much else to report really with nursing duties. Saw Transamerica on DVD which was very good. The Desperate Housewife actress was really convincing as a pre-op. Current read is Samurai William by Giles Milton . Quite a mature subject about the first Westerners to experience Japan and their journey to get there. Personal highlights so far are Portuguese noting the difference on how Japanese pick their noses, encountering savage tribes in South America mutating outsiders by cutting off their 'cod' (balls), slaying 100's of penguins f...
