I'm hopeless - great ideas for posts come into my head, then I forget them straight away. Guess they couldn't have been that great, huh?

Last night I went to Perry Barr. Interesting place.

Barcelona was great, but we weren't there long enough to do more than a whistlstop Gaudi tour and stroll on the beach a few times. Which was brilliant anyway. Walked for miles and miles with Ben and his following of adoring Spanish grandmas.

Berlin was also good. They have some excellent museums, and I walked around the botanical gardens, with a video installation about psychoactive plants. Very interesting, and I was surprised to be able to pick out information from it, even though it was in German. Poor 0ct0pus was stuck in conference, but we did sightsee the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag at night, which was super-cool. Their customs officers are bastards, though.

Been listening to The Who a lot lately. "Pictures of Lily" actually contributed to my downfall from grace, many years ago. I was briefly "born again", and was given a helpful book on what to avoid as a new, young Christian. The Who were one thing to avoid, due to their promotion of masturbation in the above mentioned song.

I was quite into music at the time. Still am, actually - I've been accused of not being cool enough to be "into" music, then recently realised that I just don't feel the need to play it aloud. My head plays me music all the time. Anyhoo, having scanned my collection of tapes... The Who, Led Zeppelin, Bowie, Lou Reed ... I realised that The Who were the least unsavoury of my collection and I would probably have to bin them all.

Not really much competition - I still own most of the albums.

Jesus is a great guy, I just often don't like his friends.

Don't worry - you're not bothering me :) I'm cheerfully agnostic, with hippy-ish leanings, so I do appreciate what you're saying. I just don't want to make a commitment on spiritual matters at this point in my life. At this point in my life, I think I don't ever want to make that commitment. Although that's a commitment in itself, IMO.

Basically, whoever made that marketing decision should be sacked.
