My cat would kill me, given the chance
My name is Flintheart. I am a pirate. Fuck off or I will fucking cut you.
Boycat is slightly inconvenienced
Yes, it's Hipstamatic. You wanker. You woke me up for this? Why don't you fuck off and leave me alone. I will sit on you later, when I feel like it.

And now the list no one's been waiting for
Here's a list of the best (and worst) movies I watched in 2010. I wrote the list once and then lost it, which is why you're getting it in March.
They're probably not new ones... in fact since most of them are from SBS1 and 2, there's a good chance they aren't.
Best (in no particular order)
MR73
Der Untergang
Caché
Ni pour, ni contre (bien au contraire)
Ben X
Out of the Blue
Rien de personnel
Låt den rätte komma in
Weirdest
The Science of Sleep
Linkeroever
Worst
Peindre ou faire l'amour - oh god, what a waste of Daniel Auteuil
... and of course there were so many others that were just so nothing that I've forgotten about them; like the one about the three women who decide they'll each go to a brothel, or that dreadful slasher film with Cecile de France in it.

A League Finals
Here's the thing...
I'm a Brisbane Roar supporter, and no matter how dreadful they are, I will be one until the Roar go bust and there is a different Brisbane team in the comp; in which case I will support them (The Strikers ??? since it's unlikely to be Taringa Rovers). It's where I was born, grew up and, to all intents and purposes, live.
But I'm also a Queenslander and a supporter of the underdog. So, in the finals, I will be supporting the GC and Wellington... and if it finally comes down to Sydney and Melbourne (which, IMHO, they both deserve) I will be supporting Melbourne because I can't support a team wearing Sky Blue.
So this game meant nothing to me. I can't say was unhappy to see GC lose. Even if it means Sydney beat Melbourne next week and win the Premiership. Like it or not, Football (Soccer!) in Australia has a finals series and the winner of that is the winner.

My new geet
This is an Ibanez Jet King 3 (JTK 30). The guitar that I "got" for my 40th birthday, in that Boycat's mum let me buy it as my own present.

Recent Tweets 3
Recently, I was...
thinking about the unreliability of memory
thinking US Life on Mars' Sam Tyler's mother's name is Rose?
looking for cheap hotels in Paris' 11eme arr for my trip in November
starting my 4th last day of holidays
@peeboo do you have "Lee Remick" on disc anywhere? It's not on anything you sent me.
working out the setlist that Dirt and I will be playing at Chantal's 40th... in October, probably.
listening to NZ rugby commentators realise they'd better explain what "get in behind" means.
using some of my remaining download allotment listening to awful "songsmith" videos on youtube.
feeling shagged after a couple of hours of whipper-snipping.
@peeboo Yes, starting to lose interest already. Too much work scrolling through all of Stephen Fry's tweets.
I have no idea anymore why that is relevant.
my nana died a few years ago. That's my dad's mother. My Mum's mother, Ronnie, died in 1969 either just before or just after I was born...
Thinking Isaka Cernak is no Tahj Minnicon.
reading about Zombies attacking Austin, Tx. http://tinyurl.com/aqotcv
hanging around the house
staying up past midnight
Wondering what two after 909 would be...
don't know if I'm going up or down with you, M. C. Escher. http://www.mcescher.com/
understanding that the name of this tune is the "funky drummer".
In my slightly less drunken state; wondering if "Dear God" isn't the best song ever written.
or maybe 7... except this makes 8.
Worrying if 8 tweets in an hour makes me strange.
listening to "Psychodrama City" by the Byrds. Wondering if Symo would have felt better if he'd got up at 3am and slammed down a diet Coke.
welcoming you to the cheap seats.
feeling sad about Kirsty MacColl

Name Module 3 of the International Space Station
Those who watch Colbert will already know about this, but NASA is having a competition to name the newest module on the International Space Station. Their choices are:
Earthrise
Legacy
Serenity
Venture
Guess which one is 81% ahead of the nearest competitor?
