Ranty Update
Aug. 10th, 2005 05:08 pmDaily update - in which Red rants because she's about to be pre-menstrual and her one singular wisdom tooth is trying to push through her gums as is traditional about once every quarter. Unfortunate problem, other than slight ache and the fact that for all the bother it's never actually going to erupt properly, is that instead of simply going through my gum, as is traditional, if the sodding thing does come out any further it's going to go through my cheek. Blast!
So yes, I may be a smidge scathing.
( On Bush, Creationism and teaching it in Science lessons )
( On Tony Blair and the idiots at the Home Office and the major problem with New Labour )
Anyone else I feel like being mean about:
1 - Great Britain's athletics coaches - fuck knows what they're being paid for. Not in the sense that they have a great amount to work with but ye Gads they don't prepare the athletes, they don't teach them tactics, they don't teach them anything.
2 - South Sydney - keep your grubby Aussie hands off Sean Long. We need him. You don't. Go away. (Will probably end up buying Saints shirt just to give Saints money.)
3 - Get very annoyed about films etc showing children who never meet their fathers being obsessed by their fathers. It's like the interview with Lance Armstrong (who's father walked out when he was 1), he said he didn't remember and didn't care. Various media commentators afterwards were all 'oh course he cares' and I was all, well he might, but if he's anything like me, no, he won't. Little kids are a damn sight less emotionally fragile than you might think.
We're getting somewhere with the experiment, much in the same way Sissyphus was getting somewhere.
Star Trek: Insurrection was quite good. I enjoyed it anyway.
Bought a copy of Kerrang! Darkness interview was fun.
Watched the highlights of the charity shield. Drogba's second goal was good. Also it appears that Crespo has finally grown into his face - anyone who saw him when he was younger knows what I mean.
Also might as well admit to unspeakably embarrassing celebrity crush du year - James May. Yes, not even Richard Hammond, of all the Top Gear presenters, the one I love the most is the bumbling, don-ish granny-driver.
