You know how you hold seashells up to your ear and hear the sea? I thought I might try it with a few other things. I held a coffee cup to my ear and heard a kettle boiling. Tried the distributor cap from my car and heard engine noise. I listened [...]

Went to see a bunch of metal bands last night. Well four cos it started at 6:30pm and I missed a couple. Saw two songs from Enter Twilight, they were great, tiny chick with gigantic operatic voice and good metally stuff. Kymera were ok, basic high voice metal but pretty aggressive. Chalice ****ing rock.

The grandfather (the guy who plays Columbo) who is narrating the story, promises “Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles”. The grandson (the kid from The Wonder Years) is fairly suspicious, but is soon taken in by the story (except the kissing bits).
As well as all this, it’s bloody funny . [...]

I was bored being Wintermute, especially since I came up with a new nick that I made up myself instead of nicked from Neuromancer. OK it’s still kinda similar, but at least it’s derivative and referential instead of plagiarised :P
