Recently, apparently normal, sane people have started drinking cider. Lots of them. It's become pretty common. Normally, what people choose to drink is their own business, no concern of mine. If you want to drink cider, go ahead. It doesn't affect me at all. Or does it?

Andy Capp
Andy Capp is a comic strip about a man called Andy Capp, his wife Flo and to a lesser extent, the people they know. It first appeared in 1957 and is still being published, but something strange has happened to it.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
I started playing this game years ago but didn't finish it, so I recently decided to replay it and actually get all the way to the end. In many ways, it's one of the best games I've ever played. In other ways, it's shit. But overall it's very much worth playing.

Ben Harper
So excuse me Mr.
but I'm a mister too
and you're givin' Mr. a bad name
Mr. like you
So I'm taking the Mr.
from out in front of your name
'cause it's a Mr. like you
that puts the rest of us to shame
It's a Mr. like you
that puts the rest of us to shame
This song annoys me every single time I hear it. If you put someone to shame it means you're doing better than them, making them ashamed of their own efforts. Given the context of the song, I am entirely certain that that is not what Ben Harper meant when he wrote that. In fact, his choice of phrase means that the chorus says basically the opposite of what the rest of the song says.
Why did you do that, Ben Harper? Why?

Law and Order: Special Victims Unit
I'm a big fan of SVU, I've been watching it for years. The characters are great and the crimes are interesting. At least, they were. I've noticed recently that I just don't really enjoy watching it any more. I still have been, but I've realised that it's more out of habit than anything, and I think I've worked out what's gone wrong.

WALL-E
I recently saw this film after having meant to watch it for quite some time. Almost since it first came out, in fact, because people just went on and on about how wonderful it was. People were wrong. Terribly wrong. This film was painful to watch, start to finish.

Oh look, a blog
For a while now I've been putting random stuff up on my website, which made it kind of hard to find, annoyed people who hate my website layout and just didn't really fit with the stated goal of the site. So I've decided to put that stuff here instead. Plus, Blogger has stat tracking and comments and stuff, so I can see that people look at my stuff and feel important. So the posts up to this point are stuff that has already been on my site, but there will be now stuff coming. You know, unless, like 99% of people who start blogs, I forget this exists and stop posting. Whatever.

Stuff That is Good
Just my recommendations for some free stuff you can find on the internet, some comics, blogs and other things. They're all really good, you should read them.
