Just want to tell the world that I got “ululate” and “anointed’ in a game of online scrabble. And still lost.

As you were.

So once again my laptop has died. I won´t go into details but suffice to say I´ve lost a fair amount of work. Sporadic posting once again will be the flavour of the week. Check out Flickr for some uplifting photos of people hawking their wears on a Sunday market during 10 inches or so of rainfall…

Slowly getting there with me latest ecommerce project… the PHP classes are coming in very hand though I don´t think my code
bares bairs bears close scrutiny… It’s taking up pretty much all of me time though hence the grinding to a halt of blogging this week after an auspicious start. Hey ho.

So it’s Friday so here are some three links to enjoy over the weekend:

Have you seen Cat Face yet? He’s got the body of a cat and the face of cat… There’s 3 episodes that’ll take about 2.5 minutes to look through.

Vector game thingy.

“There are two things that one can a director can add to absolutely any movie to make it at least three times better: zombies, and Gary Oldman”

Alrighty, back to the artisanal jewellery shop…

I finally managed a new minor film review (in the sidebar if you’re using a decent browser), and I’m trying to get back into my blogging groove, but I’ve got a fair bit of “chamba” on at the minute- translating movie scripts, site updates and getting my head around a WordPress e-commerce site.

This is also a test post to see if I can get a LightBox plug in going. Sorry if it screws up the RSS feed as I might need to keep editing this entry.

Yay, it appears to work. Click on John Craven to see another John in a balloon. Make sure the entire page has loaded first mind for the full ajaxy fun.

NB: Americans: First familiar”ize” yourselves with classic British kids TV programmes here… the first 30 seconds should be enough, then have an eyeful of Atticus´s latest landscape gardening attempt…

As visitors to our house may already know this is a regular occurrence whenever anyone drives away from young ‘Cus.

…for online tools to make you resemble Simpsons characters and Lego men and then 2 come along at once.

Behold! how I might look brandishing my PDA and electric guitar somewhere in the 8th circle of lego hell.

I´m liking the daily cartoons from Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.

So we´ve been to the cinema a few times this week and one of the adverts is for some car or other called the Edge or summink. Where Bono wanders into a record shop and the employees there are all excited “Is it really him”, then “Bono” leaves in his fancyish car. (Video below. Obviously)…

Sita and I had a heated debate about whether it was really Bono or not. First off the bloke looks just like Bono, BUT, he´s driving a pretty crappy car, there´s no U2 music in the ad and I don´t think Bono needs the cash from a cinema-only ad in Latin America and lastly I remembered some story or other on Weekend America or This American Life about a Bono Lookylikey taking advantage… And since I have my own corner of the interweb and Sita has nowt I can reveal to you that NO ES BONO. (As I type sita is saying “I can´t believe you´re blogging this…”, that´ll learn her for not even getting on FaceBook).

The evidence? Megafan.com.mx´s exposé and link to the impersonator´s site where in his list of gigs he mentions “11.22.06 Ford Motor Corp, Mexico City, Mexico”. Ta da!

It speaks fairly ill of Ocean´s 13 that I´m writing about the advert before it rather than the film itself…

Might be time for a jaunt to the hills…

Part of the rest and relaxation routine this week has involved a lot of American entertainment. Harry Potter, Ocean’s 13, The Office (US) and the end of the Sopranos. I’m also v. intrigued about how The Simpsons Movie’s going to be and more than a little concerned it might only be available round here in a dubbed version since the Mexican voice artists are almost as well known and well paid as the US lot…

Still, I happened upon this site today where you can upload a photo and after god knows how many attempts it’ll try to create a Simpsons version of you. I’m not convinced by the results, but it took 20 minutes I can’t have back to create this here avatar. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.
