Toothless and fancy free

Image via WikipediaThis new phone has got a crappy camera (see photo of Antwerp station) and to get the pictures off you need to go through a whole bloody rigmarole, or else use a simple little Bluetush device to make the transfer painless and easy.

Hmm, Bluetooth, I thought to myself. My chance to get in a spot of toothing, which you've doubtless all heard of, in which you let your phone seek out similar devices in the area, contact them and then hook up for anonymous sex. Sounds amazing, right? Well, it isn't.

Ideas above your station

To Antwerp today, to visit the archives of the Zoo, which have been opened to the public, about which more later.

I got there by train, into the magnificent new station, built in the bowels of the old station. It freaks me out to be walking along the shopping concourse and see trains at the platform on the floor above, and trains on the level below. I never knew so many people wanted to come in and out of Antwerp.

Here's a picture showing all three levels, enhanced by my newest toy Speechable. Link in the picture.

Amy means 'to love'

Image via WikipediaSay what you like about the train-wreck that is Amy Winehouse, but this video has had 10 million hits already. This one is on 15 million, and Rehab has clocked up no fewer than 25 million hits on YouTube.

She clearly has something people want, and I don't mean head-lice.

To put that in perspective, though, the top-rated video at this time, that fucking (Worst. Video. Ever.) crappy Evolution of Dance thing, has 92 million hits. Rihanna and My Chemical Romance are up around 43-60 million, and the laughing baby gets 55 million.

So it looks like Amy has quite a bit of suffering still to do. At least she's on track.

Caffeine high

I had one double-espresso at about 08.00, and took this test at 14.30. I guess I have no need for caffeine with a jitterati performance like 189 mouse-clicks in 30 seconds.

Breaking news

Image by vincent.m via FlickrI've just learned that Ingrid Betancourt has been freed, after spending sex years being detained by Farc rebels.

That's simply shocking. I won't be buying my CDs there any more, I can tell you.

ETA: Typo pointed out in comments, thanks. Stop sniggering. Buncha juveniles.

Twitter witter

Image via WikipediaIn the past few days, I've had notifications from two people that they're now following me on Twitter. I have no idea who they are. More to the point, I don't even tweet.

Sometimes you just think, WTF? And then you think, never mind. I don't need to know.

Bonnie by name

Image by Getty Images via DaylifeBonnie Raitt is just the perfect woman for any woman-lovin man. She's beautiful, with a flaming red cascade of locks, she's ballsy, she rocks that guitar effortlessly, and she sings like a bluesy dream where she's crying out your name but only to say goodbye.

I don't care if it's old-fashioned, I am totally loving her videos on MeTube right now, and her songs on the old EarPod when I'm away from my desk.

Watch the video in that link up there. She is completely in command. I love that in a woman.

Home again, home again

Image via WikipediaHousehold gets back to normal tomorrow. Not before time. I get fed up being alone. Freedom isn't all it's made out to be.

What on earth do single people do? Organising your life is exhausting. There's absolutely nothing you can take for granted. I remember that from before, but we were younger then. We could ride with the punches better.

Now I'm finishing off some work, I'll pack my lunch for tomorrow, then clean the cooker. Everything's looking ship-shape, as clean and tidy as if acts of great depravity had taken place, because the house would never be clean just from living in it, would it?

That's something else that belongs in the past: acts of great depravity. I need eight hours at least, or else I won't be worth shit in the morning. I'd be lucky to muster the energy for an act of eyebrow-raising unseemliness.

Thanks to all those who looked after me this past week. I dare say we'll do it again sometime soon.
