I’m still not feeling particularly loquacious, so more “show and tell” type blogging is what you get – and you’ll like it too.

Right now I’m obsessively painting some “art” for my living room – well, not right now, right now I’m at work, but you know what I mean. Our living room has had plain-Jane walls for long enough, but I’m too impatient to wait to find or be able to afford art, so I’m making my own. I’ve done a significant amount of work in the living room, so as soon as I finish this project I’ll try to photograph everything – cos like, of course you want to see. La doy.

And so, on the theme of obsessions here are a few current ones of mine.

Damon Albarn. Sigh. Particularly his voice and his profile in silhouette at the piano. Yeow.

The Wire. Duh. I can’t believe it’s over…and now you all have to watch it so I can talk about it.

Escape to Chimp Eden. Actually, between this and The Wire I think I’ve decided I’m a masochist.

The Wire

Positive spin: Lars and I are finally caught up with the current season. We watched 5 episodes in a row last night alone – (It’s like crack, what do you want from me?)

Negative spin: Omar?! Really? But, I… but… really?

Driving

Positive spin: Having my own car is totally convenient.

Negative spin: Speed traps at the bottom of a big hill and the $82 ticket I just paid – they suck my balls.

Work

Positive spin: Best job I’ve ever had.

Negative spin: “Content Management” sucks my balls.

Diets

Positive spin: It’s really not that bad and I’m actually losing some blubb.

Negative spin: I would take a human life for an éclairs from The Bakery.

New TV

Positive spin: Basically this tv is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever owned.

Negative spin: Post upgrade, my Tivo won’t talk to my HD cable box…and basically a life without Tivo is not a life worth living. (At least once you’ve gotten used to it).

Positive spin 2: Melissa is going to come over tonight to work some of her super-electronic-magician voo doo on that shit. She’ll make them talk, yes, she will.

The Wire, season 4 is kicking my ass – and showing me some major Omar-ding-dong.

Omar (my Macbook) -yeah, I’m talking about that bitch again…he’s finally home from his long stay at Macdocs where he received a new Logic Board. Yikes! Thanks Applecare for picking up the check on that jacked up bit of guts you stuck inside my computer.

And now the original Omar. Please do enjoy a clip from the best show in the world.
