Heart of stone

Bloc Party played at the Brazilian MTV Music Awards the other week, but unknown to them they had to mime, so, they milked it - watch the video here.

and yes I've only just managed to work out html, whatever.

I've finally applied for university-ish, so now we play the waiting game xx

Ex-Parrot

The origins of the Monty Python 'Dead Parrot' sketch have been found in an Ancient Greek joke book dated back to the 4th Century. The joke within Philogelos: The Laugh Addict talks of a man who complains that his slave has died, the e-book can be found here:

I was reading some of them earlier, I never realised the Greeks were so funny.

In other news, many Southern Americans have entered a buying frenzy of guns, why, because they are afraid that well known Commy Barack Obama is going to make rid of the 2nd Amendment, i.e. the right to keep and bare arms. I'm not in a funny mood so I can't make a joke about it, but maybe Philogelos or the Pythons had something funny to say about it xx

Can you smell what Barack is cooking?

I've sussed out my pattern of entries over the past few month, and i'm only tending to post stuff when i'm procrastinating, what am I supposed to be doing now?


Anyway it's Election Day so all you crazy American cats over the pond need to go out and vote for Obama. It's very inspiring (is that the word i'm looking for?) that so many people have rushed out to their local libraries to vote, it's a shame we don't get that over here. I was watching Loose Women earlier, don't ask me why (i'm ill and i love daytime tv), and they were talking about voting on there, and the clutsy brunette that throws inneundo around CONSTANTLY said 'I vote every saturday, on the X-Factor'. Oh haha. So this started a debate because she was like i've never voted blah blah no one appeals to me politicians are scumbags, apart from David Cameron mmm yuum ETC. And i was just sat there in disbelief, Emmeline Pankhurst must be turning over in her grave.
