I have had an idea for the next MFC, as follows:
Music isn't supposed to just sit there, it's supposed to do something to you, whether that's make you dance, make you smile, make you cry, make you think, make you turn the music off, whatever. So, the idea is this: record anything you like, anyhow you like, but with a distinct intent (and, optionally, an appropriate drug of choice), which you put in a comment hidden by a spoiler on some suitable page. Voting can then take place according to whether the intended effect was the actual effect on listeners. My apologies if this is too muso wank. (My other ideas were much wankier.)
Other than that:
- Life continues slightly suffocatingly chez my grandma. Must do something about this.
- The insurance people are making noises about the fact that I was using the car to get to and from a gig when it was stolen. I probably shouldn't be mentioning this.
- I have spoken to various people of the female persuasion in living memory who are neither old friends nor gay, nor, indeed, old friends who are gay. This is a step forward.
- I have been writing small snippets of C for fun and have been going over the Inform tutorial. This kind of thing always happens when I stop working as a programmer. However I must not let it make me think I should go back into being employed as one again, because this has now proven to be a mistake twice.
- I must stop playing Urban Dead because it is rubbish. However, it is also addictive. This annoys me.
- I must do something about the fact that I keep thinking I could write a better web-based MMORPG than Urban Dead. Either stop thinking about it or do it.
- I have not recorded anything for ages. That's stupid.
- I am skint as a church mouse that just had its car nicked and whose last employer is being very tardy with the last paycheck. That means I should not be going out for drinks tonight.
- I am going out for drinks tonight
- For a bloke who has been called 'bright' in the past, I am remarkably stupid
- It is my grandfather's stonesetting tomorrow.
- So I really shouldn't be going out
- Oh well
- If I am indeed going out tonight, stupidly or otherwise, I should go now, or it will be too late.
- That's enough bullet points.
