Yep, I’m Lazy. Well my excuse was going to be mental exhaustion which would be kinda true but still… I’m just lazy.

As I’m going to try to not just write for my blog on a quarterly basis I’ll just blog briefly on some of what’s happened since July then go over them more in the next few days and weeks.

First on the City front. Ignore my last post, the Malaysians turned out to be Thais and Paulo Sousa got sacked after a terrible start… but now we have Sven-Goran Eriksson and result have picked up and there’s hope the season won’t be so bad after all.

Second, apparently Steve Jobs doesn’t read my blog so no Apple subscription service.. yet. They have completed a huge data-center in North Carolina which should come online any moment now. It’s huge, so huge in fact they are building an identical one right next to it. They’re a cooking something. iPad multi-tasking should arrive this week, so that’ll be nice.

Third, Call of Duty: Black Ops comes out on Tuesday. It’s kind of uncool to like Call of Duty games but I like them and that’s what my brothers mainly play. To be honest I prefer them to Halo now. I’ve got Tuesday off so I can get a fair bit of play in day one. It’s an interesting time in gaming, casual games seem to be changing the market and as I’m more a “core” gamer I’m not sure how I feel about it.

Fourth, TV seems a little empty without the promise of more Lost or 24 on the horizon. Caprica has been cancelled so has The Event, something that was looking promising. Stargate Universe seem to be plodding along quite well though and The Walking Dead looks like it could be a quality new series. I haven’t been to the Cinema in forever it seems, but my little brother Joe has passed his driving test so hopefully that’ll change. Really looking forward to Tron with it’s Daft Punk soundtrack. Sucker Punch is looking great and there’s a new Superman in the works which is great.

Lastly, news, politics and the rest. I think I’m needing a good news story right now. The news is just cuts cuts cuts, though I won’t really be affected people will be and it’s pretty depressing. I rarely go into town (Coalville) but did the other week and the number of empty shops was shocking, it’s feeling like a town on the brink of collapse. I’m quite in to my American politics too, and as someone of the left of the political spectrum, I find the situation over there quite distressing.

So, I’ll be expanding on the above in future post. But for now at least I’ve proved I’m still here.

Laters.

P.S. This lifted me a little:


But really I do love a bit of Dubstep on the way home on a cold winter night, here’s a spotify playlist I put together. Tweet me if you need a Spotify invite. @Phlashman
