Why do we never - ever - hääh?
Buying tomorrow, single or whole album I dunno yet. Probably just the single. Aye.

Whoah...
I am overwhelmed by the weirdness that is Bowie. Perhaps someone could explain? (I don't like mailtos either...)

Check this out: a magazine goes to great lengths to promote a big demo on its coverdisc, but fails to supply necessary driver to run said game. I must have been asleep when Microsoft bought Mechwarrior from Activision, but they're sure going to town with MW4, especially since it requires that blessing/curse of all PC games: DirectX, version 8 being the latest incarnation. PC Player included DX7 on the disc, of course, 'cos that's useful...

...which is why I've to spend nearly an hour downloading 8...not impressed.

So, yeah, I can snowboard now, sort of. It's theoretically possible for me to get all the way down a piste without falling, and not falling became a very major issue on Sunday (second day) when I woke up and realised I couldn't move. Anything. At all. Mind you, this morning was as bad, as will be the next few, most likely; such a sudden transition from couch potato to Alpen-trash is bound to be a little traumatic. Still, I have an assortment of colourful bruises in improbable places to show off not to mention a nice colour after being out in the sun for two full days. I just wish I could do anything other than blink without wincing.

Fuck it - chicks dig it, bruises heal, pain is temporary, glory is forever!*
(Who am I kidding? I want my Mammy...)
