i am sparticus: The News
The News
So it turns out that just because iamsparticus.com was closed for a week doesn't mean the world stopped producing comment worthy things for a week.1 If I'd had a website this week, this is what you would have heard:
We're all going to die in the next 100 years!2
Thom Yorke MP3s have slipped out onto the Internet. I have nothing original to say on them but only because my cousin made the best comment when he compared them to The Postal Service. Thom Yorke's solo work is to Radiohead as The Postal Service is to Death Cab For Cutie.
If you've heard the story of the American family on the news who discovered the daughter they'd be looking after for a month was actually another girl and their daughter was dead and buried and thought "good grief that's terrible" then you'd be right. What you probably didn't hear though is that the family has been keeping a weblog of her recovery. It's one of the most powerful things you'll ever read, so I suggest you do it. Now.
So so far we've had bad news for the sake of bad news, good news to cheer us up and poignant news to make us all feel a bit sad again, which means if we're going to stick with the trite news bulletin format we need "bizarre humorous story of the week".
The Foo Fighters are playing Ipswich in a week and a half. What? I KNOW. The world has gone insane and one of the biggest rock bands in the world have decided to play an acoustic gig to 1,750 people five minutes walk from my house. Queuing took four hours, but now I have tickets and you don't. YOU LOSE! And on that note of belittlement, it's probably time for the weather.
1 This is a bug that will apparently be corrected in the next version of me. The bug lies somewhere in the interpretation script that seems to only occur when running in amillenialism mode.
There's joke potential in their somewhere, but let the reader understand.
2 Barring Christ coming back, which could happen now. Or now. Or some time soon. So stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.
