Life lessons in three panels

I love this comic...











So much better without the cat.

Heavy Metal Home Furnishing

I'm currently on an enforced Grand Theft Auto IV sabbatical due to self-induced RSI, so before we get back to that subject let me show you one of my recent purchases, behold the Heavy Metal pillow case!


Completely pointless and OK, it's not really metal what with being bright pink and merchandise for a band who aren't really metal (you can listen to their new album here, try to see if you can work out a categorization - I'm inclined to put them in the "very good" category).

It was ordered from Hydra Head Records (along with the CD from aforementioned band) and it has an animal skull on the front and we all know that animal skulls are the preserve of only one sort of music...

Tourism

Yes I'm at that stage of Grand Theft Auto - ignoring the story and looking for weird crap... and Ricky Gervais.

Things that suck, and things that don't suck - part whatever

Let's start with something that sucks:

Leicester being relegated into the third tier of the English Football league for the first time in over 100 years

Yes I know I'm a crap football fan: I don't own a season ticket, I don't get pissed every other weekend and spend my time in the company of thousands of other like minded fans, I follow Leicester in a way that could be described as 'ambient' at times - through a brief few seconds of reporting on Sky Sports News here and there, or through hopelessly optimistic Leicester supporting websites - by all rights I shouldn't care.

But I do, and watching them go down to the delight of a pub full of Coventry City fans was pretty much the least fun thing I've witnessed this year...

Things that didn't suck? This:


A brand new, completely free (both financially and guilt speaking) Nine Inch Nails album. It's ace, and you can download it in a variety of formats here.
