Storm Babet.

I have to admit I seriously thoght "Storm Babet" was yet another zed lister tv personallity type, someone off the latest round of Big Brother.

This is where I find myself now. Stuck between endless repears of horrible sixties, or seventies, television comedies, like endless reruns of "On The Buses". Not even funny at the time of first airing, and on the other side endless "real life" fly on the wall style programs. Any program with "The Real" in the title somewhere is diametrically the opposite. Absolutly the observation effect, basically the act of looking at something changes its fundimental nature.

I'm not really pointing out anything that is not obvious. It's cheaper to stick a camera in a room and just film the hard of thinking bounce off the walls, than it is to actually commision a script with actors, props, and costumes.

I have said before the future of television is everyone watching each other, watching each other on set top cameras. Oh wait isn't that just goggle box?

Too late!

This is todays sentence.  

"Storm Babet is not a person!"

* I am incrementing the numbers by tens, in the style of basic programming, so if I think of something else to add, I can later. So as all counting starts at zero, the first is 000000. The second then becomes 000010. The third is 000020 etc, etc.

It's funny how certain tunes follow you through life, reminding you of previous times you heard them, and adding to the memories.

I'm not really sure where, or when, I first heard "The Flower Duet" (Delibes: Lakmé - Duo des fleurs (Flower Duet)). There is no arguing it is a beuatiful piece of music.

Early experiences have to be the film "The Hunger", a disapointment that the film can only be found (by me at least) in a mono soundtrack version on DVD.

Yes the heavy use in a couple of adverts (BA, and a washing powder advert). Both failing to diminish my love of the music.

Finally, possibly the best end to a computer game ever, Hardw[a]r. At the end of the game (spoilers for a bit of an old game) you have to strip your craft down, and run the gauntlet of every other ship hunting you, as you attempt to deliver the last part of a star ship. You only just make it to the final destination, to be offered a place on the ultimate escape ship. As the ship soars into the sky, the planet is destroyed behind you in nuclear explosions all to the background of this piece of music:

Delibes: Lakmé - Duo des fleurs (Flower Duet), Sabine Devieilhe & Marianne Crebassa

Last night I had steak for tea. Not big juicy steak, thin strips of steak. Nice but not the way I like my steak.

It then occured to me, as real meat becomes more, and more, rare, or just too expensive, we will more and more have to rely on bugs and maggots. Just the impractical problem when considering space travel. Easier to store a tank of grubs, and bugs, than a cow. Foregoing the cubic pigs from Space Truckers.

"All new Synth Meat Neu Steak (tm), artificially knitted protein and fibre, extruded automatically, then sliced into individual, convenient portion sizes. After all this is the closest you're going to get to real meat on your salary bracket."

"Bugs for dinner!"

* I am incrementing the numbers by tens, in the style of basic programming, so if I think of something else to add, I can later.

I have tried many stops and starts. I considered Neil Gaimans "write for fifteen minutes a day". Unfortunatly that hasn't worked.

I thought working from home would help, but, obviously, that hasn't succeeded. Funny how having gained more personal time, I of course waste it. I don't read as much (if at all), or write as much as I used to.

This is another attempt to restart.

This is todays sentence.

"Reflections on past failures!"
