30 Day 'Challenge' - Day #1.
“Your current relationship status - If single, discuss how single life is.”
Single - Very much single. Putting to one side the fact I’m f-ugly, I think that underneath that, I’m a decent enough person - a suitable +1 for someone. I like to cook, and whilst hardly being in the Chef Ramsay league, well I’ve managed to survive 10 years on my cooking, so I can’t be...

I'm going 'offline' for a month...
Ideally, I’d spend the month living in my bedroom, reading and just generally relaxing, but unfortunately the real world doesn’t allow for that. I’ve got a significant hospital appointment on Tuesday (01-02-11), then I’m scheduled to have a week off the following week (10th - 14th).
I’ve queued up 27 days worth of posts - nothing too fancy, just the odd Youtube...

27 Days with of content - now it's over to you,...
Right, so at the moment, there are 54 posts in my queue. They’re scheduled to be posted, twice a day, over the course of the next 27 days, starting from tomorrow. I’d hoped to have a months worth of content, however, to be honest, I ran out of time.
In terms of the 30 Day ‘Challenge’ Posts, I managed to get upto Day 26 / 30. I’ll do numbers 27 - 30 when I get back,...

Re: Day #23 of this 30 Day 'Challenge'
I think you’re gonna like it
;)
Ignore this...
It was supposed to be a queued post, but I published by accident. And Tumblr, being tumblr, won’t let me edit it back either into the queue, or as a draft.
So here’s a picture of 13 / Olivia Wilde, for the natives.

The Tumblr Queue System...
So the last time I used the queue system, it worked out pretty well - in fact, it worked flawlessly. Well, Tumblr, I need you todo the same for me again. By Sunday, I hope to have around 40 posts saved in my Drafts folder, ready to be moved over to the Queue - where, hopefully, they’ll appear, on a daily basis, over the course of February.
Assuming Tumblr works. Which it likely won’t.

'Straight Acting'
<opinion>
One of these days, I’m gonna rant, and rant, and then rant somemore, about how that combination of words, needs to go away.
Just because someone doesn’t feel the need to exhibit a photographic-esque knowledge of every episode of Sex and The City, or 90210 (new version), does not make them ‘straight acting’.
Just means they’re not a twat.

Somehow I doubt I’ll be watching the third.
I really need to start thinking about Post #1000
This’ll be #974.

Hey kids, from 'disadvantaged' backgrounds? You... →
Tough.
Welcome to Conservative Britain. With sky rocketing rates of young people being ‘NEET’ (Not in Education, Employment or Training), I guess it totally makes sense removing EMA. I mean it’s not like there are people from poor backgrounds, who want to goto college, but who’d use that money for - oh I dunno, travel costs and book costs?
-Typical.
Bane? Really? Bane? →
chrisdwoo:
That’s just weird.
Lest we judge the brilliance that is Nolan, but Bane makes no fucking sense to me. They should have gone down the Hugo Strange route.

Tron Legacy
zensho:
Pretty fun ride. Nothing spectacular, but had lots of things to like.
Michael Sheen was awesome.
And I thought the last scene was very endearing. I’d like to rewatch it just for that.
On a side note: dear theaters, if you’re gonna charge me an extra $5 to see it in 3D, then please offer me a non-3D showing.
Michael Sheen is always awesome - he’s Michael Sheen after all :) As...

I'm getting a 10Mb speed increase for FREE!
That’s right bitches - Virgin Media are gonna upgrade my 20Mb connection, to 30Mb, for free.
[Plus, as I’ll be switching to DOCIS3, I’m future-proofed for their 100Mb+ Service.]

Having spent 10 mins blocking the spam accounts...
The Tumblr search facility - or more specifically - its ability to search for Kindle content without the same three spam ‘posts’ from 20+ different accounts, is greatly improved.

I created a new 'page' /Ramblings →
It’s basically an index page, of all my ‘rambling, waffle-tastic’ ‘thoughts’ I’ve typed up, since starting my Tumblr stream, back in October 2009. I might have missed a few - I’ll go through my archive fully at somepoint, and double check.
Be warned: Contains links to extended bits of ‘waffle’. I’d recommend you bring Jammie Dodgers.

I've never understood why so many Gay men use the...
Seriously - I know plenty of gay men who consider a ladies ‘bits’ to resemble something out of a Lovecraft novel and yet they’ll happily use the word in every day conversation. Don’t get me wrong, I tend not to have a problem with peeps swearing like a bunch of troopers, but it’s just something that strikes me as strange.
[Which might explain a lot, in hindsight]

Dear 'The Internet'
No one really gives a flying hoot if your ‘star-sign’ has been changed. Being a ‘certain’ Star-sign should have no significance on your life.

Everyone living in the 21st Century.

For every inaccurate e-reader review I read...
I’m gonna post a pic of some hot piece of male totty. Seriously, some of the stuff posted on tumblr makes the mind boggle. So everytime I read a “Fuck e-readers” post that contains one of the following:
E-Readers don’t smell - Real books smell. Therefore e-readers -> Not real reading.
They damage your eyesight¹.
I’m posting male totty, to balance out the tumblr...
Making the different 'components' of my...
The ‘stereotypically gay’ side -> Purchased 200 unscented teacandles.
The ‘Geek’ side -> Purchased a 2011 Doctor Who Calendar for .50p.
The ‘Fiscally responsible’ side - Both the above only cost £3.50
In case anyone hadn’t gathered - I’m clearly single. And a wee-bit loopy.
