I’m already looking forward to this weekend, now that I’ve booked to go see Ed Byrne on Sunday evening. I’m really into stand-up comedy at the moment, and an evening of laughs will be just what the doctor ordered come the end of the weekend.
I guess Palin said something in last night’s debate about women’s rights which didn’t exactly sit well with those on Twitter who have a memory longer than five minutes…
You know it’s going to be a cold morning when the window is this misted up at 7am.
Chromeo - Needy Girl
Concert TONIGHT!!
This song has been in my head for weeks, and it’s not yet annoying. Well, it’s more the lyric “You’re a neeeaaaeeedy girl” that’s been hitting the insides of my skull, but you can’t beat a bit of vocoder goodness.
The video is definitely worth checking out as an example of post-modern, funny music videos. It’s quite happy to drop the music and tell a story, but the story definitely fits with the lyrics of the music.
Incidentally, this video was added to Youtube two years ago! Wow. I thought the song was only 6 months old at best. I guess a song/video can be underground for years and years before it finally blows up.

Chelsea played CFR Cluj in the Champions League last night, and drew 0-0 after being expected to win handsomely. CFR Cluj are from Romania, specifically the Transylvania region, and as such British football journalists went to town with vampire puns:
Chelsea failed to draw first blood in Transylvania last night as they were held to a goalless draw. [Daily Star]
It is ironic that Chelsea failed to draw blood for the first time this season in vampire country, although Luiz Felipe Scolari is unlikely to see the funny side. [The Times]
It is several centuries since visitors to Transylvania routinely ran the risk of slow death by skewering at the hands of Vlad the Impaler but Chelsea certainly did not escape unscathed last night. [The Guardian]
Chelsea had an ugly time of it in Romania, coming away with just a point after failing to break down Cluj in a dour 0-0 draw. [The Daily Express]
Chelsea were toothless in Transylvania last night as they failed to put the bite on Champions League minnows Cluj. And a night in vampire country turned into a horror story for the Blues when Didier Drogba was carried off. [The Sun]
Didier Drogba was carried off with a serious knee injury as Chelsea fought out a grim, goalless draw in Romania on Wednesday night. [The Daily Telegraph]
With a manager demanding goals and glory, Chelsea players can expect a few subtle reminders of the targets they have been set by Luiz Felipe Scolari. [The Daily Mail]
No goals in Transylvania. But another horror show. [The Independent]

Sigh. Journalists are nothing if not predictable…
I was just going through some old photos, stretching back to 2002, and I’ve realised that whilst my basic hairstyle has barely changed, I’ve worn a massive amount of different beards, goatees and sideburns. It seems to have changed from month to month, or even week to week in some cases.
One of my favourites was a set of pointy, 50s style sideburns. They were tres cool. Think Travolta in Grease, but better.
At the moment, I’m varying between clean-shaven and stubbly, dependent on whether it’s the day I’ve shaved or the one after. I can’t be bothered doing it every day, as I really value that extra 5-10 minutes in bed!
5 Friends Uncensored (via adamiss and 5friendsvote
PSA from hella celebs telling people not to vote (irony!). Portman hits the screen 33 seconds in. And Anthony Kiedis! Where has that dude been?
Wow, this is a great little video reminding you Yanks to register to vote, and I can’t help but feel that they’re really hitting their target audience perfectly. It’s a bit snarky, it’s funny, it’s got Natalie Portman in it; what more do you want?!
GPOYW - The William Tell edition.
OK, so it’s not quite fruit on face, as per Aaron’s instructions, but fruit on head is pretty damn close, no? And yes, this took me a few takes; GPOYW always does because I’m a vain bastard.
The t-shirt? University of Kentucky, sent to me by a friend that I’m going to visit in September, as part of a long-running joke about there only being one UK and one type of football…
Milk was a bad choice
I still think Anchorman is the funniest film of all time.
