I have a guy playing a guitar, playing moonlight sonata with twiddly bits, dodgy clapping, awful synths, and what is supposed to be a very attractive portugese (by the looks of it) lady dancing seductively, but looking absolutely crap, showing on my TV.

Why do they bother?

Anyhow. A positive end to the day. I have ACPI (power management, so that on the laptop with Linux running I got a solid 4hrs out of it on the battery, as opposed to less than 1 previously) working, huzzah! But... with ACPI I don't have sound, booo! Looks like between kernel 2.4.20 and 2.4.21 (or at least between SuSE and everybody else in the known universe, which is much more likely) there is some disagreement as to what the Via sound card modules should be called, and I can't easily fix it. Not at 2:30am, anyhow. I give up for now.

Ooo, now we've moved onto moody black and white film of a bunch of middle aged dudes playing what sounds like Jazz, but on classical instruments. They're all doing the Jazz musician's shakey head thing, to indicate that they're really caught up in the music, ya know what I mean? :)

And to think I chose this over VH1... well, it was this or Bjork.

Yes, I am aware it is Thursday, but I am at work all day tomorrow.
( Friday Five )

I was gonna go to the cinema but I ended up in Braehead shopping centre. I visited HMV. I resisted the temptation to buy half the CDs I picked up, and couldn't find several others that I wanted. Still. I was bad. I bought a "1 Giant Leap" album, a Delerium Single (prerelease), and Donnie Darko, which I am currently watching.

Is it just me, or is Jena Malone really hot? She's got this cute-but-bad thing going on...

The more astute among you may remember that Robbie Williams released a single a little while back with 1 Giant Leap and Maxi Priest. It's fantastic. As is the whole album. I love the fact that decent sized HMV stores stock more than just UK and US music...

I now have beer, muhahah.
I have had onion rings and I have vegetable curry in the oven, well... not in the oven any more. Cooling. Ready for tomorrow. Why spend money on food at work when I have a fridgeload that needs using!?

"Wake up... Donnie."
