i went to a big big world concert coupla nights ago - bojan z (piano) and julien lourau (sax). despite the lack of a full band sound and drums, it was quite an interesting duet. they're both really skilled, and have a really original style: french jazz, balkan music, a bit of tango... yeah, it was good.
now i've bought pink floyd's the wall live in berlin, 2 cd and dvd. an amazing performance set on the ruins the berlin wall itself. unfortunately perhaps, it's got a bunch of tribute musicians, playing with roger waters, but it's still incredible.

impending festivities?
|
|
|
|
|
i have the horrible feeling that christmas is creeping backwards in time. already, there are a few adverts about doing your christmas shopping 'before everyone else'. all the anxiety of shopping and the headaches from over-colourful displays are spreading outwards, only serving to depress people because actual christmas is 3 months away.
soon, companies will be able to profit from christmas all year round: get your presents 6 months in advance, last minute presents, post-christmas sales, and back again.

warren ellis pointed out click opera, and it truly is one of the greatest blogs. it's going straight to the links bar.
also, as is my habit during a holiday, i have fallen prey to the addictions of baldur's gate II, and thus will have no life for the next while.

just been to see kontroll, a film about the dark underworld of budapest subway ticket inspectors. this is an astounding and original film, with the anarchic psychology and apocalyptic tone of fight club and a great underground society.
it's is a must see, and thanks to elijah for recommending it.

i'm obsessed with pink floyd's dark side of the moon. it's scary. i can't stop listening to it. i leave you with this:
breathe, breathe in the air
don't be afraid to care
leave, but don't leave me
look around and choose your own ground
for long you live and high you fly
and smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
and all you touch and all you see
is all your life will ever be
run rabbit run
dig that hole, forget the sun,
and when at last the work is done
don't sit down it's time to dig another one
for long you live and high you fly
but only if you ride the tide
and balanced on the biggest wave
you race towards an early grave
now i neeeeed the wall...

the origins of theta
|
|
|
|
|
the origins of the theta symbol are lengthy and mysterious. it is thought that the word was first spewed from the foul mouth of kazarkhightnrn, and then adopted by the greeks as a letter in their alphabet, equivalent to the roman numeral F (approximately 2.91 times 10 to the power of 14). now that the continent of greece has been destroyed by american peacekeeping forces, greek is a dead language and so their letters are simply used as fancy representations of mathematical numbers.
of course, now we all know that the few greek eskimos that escaped on their boats of whale blubber built an artificial greece in the year of 1998, forming a nation of pretentious mathematicians. there are also negotiations between them and the americans to give back the parts of old greece that they took away in trucks during the invasion, which will cost nu greece the incredible sum of 23p.
meanwhile, the small and happy tropical island nation of russia has agreed to manufacture a state of global warming to control the climate of nu greece by releasing false CO2 into the atmosphere and encouraging america to eat more burgers. the neighbouring planet of japan strongly opposed this idea, saying that it will upset the delicate gaialogical balance of earth. but no one listens to them paper-wearing, tree-hugging whackos, anyway.
australia, the continent taking up almost half of the world's total surface area, on the other hand, were very pro-warming. their lead crocodile hunter brad said that 'now, every day is a barbie day'. this was mostly to spite the stuffed up emperor of the underworld known as britanica, antonius blarium. many many many minutes later, he got his own back by throwing brad in a colliseum where he was promptly speared to death by rampaging homophobes.
africa, that highly advanced civilisation in south america with a population of 38, wasn't particularly pissed off by the warming policy since they could create a cool-field around their territory for a perma-glasgow effect.
(this is an effect of school boredom. it's complete bullshit, as you might've guessed by now)

this here article kept me entertained on the plane. it contains a few meaning of liff style definitions, such as this one:
Axis of evil any perceived "nucular" power that distracts attention from the national debt.

well, now i'm back from gibraltar. it's a relief to get away from the heat and sun, back to good ole overcast, drizzly glesga. though not as crammed as i imagined, gib's still extremely small, with a crappy artificial beach. still, the apes are funny (one stole a bottle of coke from a guard and started eating it), cave's kinda cool, and i saw an octopus while snorkling.
here, have some pictures:
