Your a f*&!%ng moron

Friday, September 19th, 2008

This is a public service announcement aimed at the slow and the stupid among us. As well as billions of ‘net kiddies, this also includes the people who do the ticker bit at the bottom of Scuzz and the muppet who built the AC/DC fan club signup pages.

your
–pronoun
(a form of the possessive case of you used as an attributive adjective): Your jacket is in that closet. I like your idea.

you’re
contraction of you are: You’re certain that’s right?

It’s bad enough that the slashtards and other forum users can’t get this difference into their thick skulls, but when multi-million dollar companies can’t tell the difference either, I begin to despair.

Death Magnetic – live

Tonight Metallica are playing the O2. Sound is shit all the way up here but this is probably the last pre-zimmerframe gig we’ll see them at :)

Death Magnetic – Retail

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

Well, that was a surprise. First, the ever reliable Amazon e-mail me to let me know that they won’t be delivering the new Metallica album on time.

Then I walk into the HMV after lunch with Gavin, looking for headphones, and what do I see at the door but Death Magnetic. Release isn’t due until tomorrow, or at least wasn’t when I checked this morning, but here it is.

Woo – Yay me. If you need me, I’ll be losing my hearing over here in the corner.

There’s something to be said…

And that something is “I WANNA GO HOME!”
