8-bit boredom

Boredom, I was randomly searching through www.archive.org because I’ve discovered great music there before like ST Ternemar and Takeshi Nakamura. Then I came across a genre called 8-bit – it sounds like old computer games but mixed with great melodies – love it! This is addictive and upbeat stuff. Anyhoo download Lullatwerp by Disastertron ( collaboration by two guys called Disasterpiece and Spamtron).

I’d better drag my ass out of bed. It’s almost two and I have to tidy my place before a friend comes over to look at the MacBook Air, the sexiest laptop in existence. I’m reviewing it for this week’s product section – what a fun product to review. I have the urge to throw it up in the air to demonstrate how light it is. And because it’s so expensive I have the urge to fling it in the Liffey – I get that every time I walk over a body of water – just throw something important in like my phone. A friend of mine said he had that urge and just flung his grocery shopping right in – how satisfying.

I was with him at the cinema last night and we were planning to see Juno because our drink-addled brains, tender and fresh from a Friday nights drinking could possibly take more than light comedy. Juno was sold out but I am so glad because we watched Cloverfield. First of all I had read hardly anything about it nor had I seen ads on TV so I was able to approach it with an open mind. Secondly the lack of soundtrack and video camera mode worked really well – not annoying like in the Blair Witch project. I was actually gripping my seat the whole way through, I become completely engrossed.

Okay looks like I need to get in gear and do some serious cleaning. I thought Sunday was a day of rest.
