Hello Destiny

This looks ok - better than last weeks snowy chaos. Yes, my computer speaks Finnish. The picture you want to be looking at to be in the know is the second one from the left. That's Thursday.

I've got a date with destiny, I would say if I would be inclined towards the cheesy. And I am. Destiny*, here I come.

* "Destiny" is not a person.

Feeder - This town

This is where I’m coming from: I’ve never actively followed Feeder. Although I’ve been aware of their existence and heard their hits, I’ve never started a conversation with the words “Have you heard that new Feeder track?”

Until now, that is. Their new single This Town awoke me from the relatively Feederless existence I’ve been living. It’s a shame in a way, because it turns out that This Town is far from their best song. It’s not the best track from their album Renegades that was released earlier this year (the title song snatches that title). In fact, even the far more melodic and melancholic Down to the river, the B-side of the single, is a stronger track. This Town is a competent rock song, but it does lack that great melodiousness that Feeder usually excels at.

Mantra of the day

Keep your eyes on the prize. Eyes on the prize.

Outfit of the day

The all butter mince pie.

Yeah baby.

Snow! Where?

It feels like a case of the Emperors new clothes. People staying home, trains refusing to move... IT'S NOT SNOW PEOPLE! It's just a slightly whiter rain.

On the other hand, it's quite fun to see how much hoopla a measly half centimeter of grey gloop can cause. Til it affects you personally. My meeting tomorrow, at the riviera of UK, just got postponed because of having snowed there all night.

Now, I'm sorry, but if it ain't looking like this when you wake up, it's not snow:

Also, walking on it won't kill you. In fact, it's quite fun.
