Achy breaky entire body
The further wrangling of stormtroopers has broken me. Not only are my legs aching sacks of meat (with some calcium heavy scaffolding to keep them from being the jelly-like bags that they currentl seem) but the randomness has made my brain even more mushy than normal. Overall – wibbly.

I, for one, welcome our new Imperial overlords
The first afternoon of stormtrooper wrangling went well. Tomorrow there will be more.

90s Music Tuesday (to steal an idea)
On the way to work this morning I was struck at first with a strange urge to listen to Tori Amos. Not an everyday occurrence and a flashback to my earlier years when the sight of the red headed Miss Insanity Pants (as she was easily christened) writhing her way across a piano stool gave [...]

A Geneve (sans accents)
A pretty lighthouse

Testinge
In other non Rock Band related new, Flickr have released the ability to upload video today. As such, and so forth, I have put together my first masterpiece of video (which I was intending to use as a means of seeing if iMovie worked as well as seeing how to upload things to youtube).
