alexsarllGiven how much music means to me, I've long been saddened by my name's absence from it. While the Alices and the Johns and even the bloody Jeans got all the action, the only Alexander was a beetle in a rather substandard Melanie song. No more! My thanks, then, to The Arcade Fire for 'Neighborhood #2 (Laika)'. That they also sound like Bright Eyes covering New Order makes this particularly sweet.
Franz Ferdinand fans! I read in the NME* that the album by Alex's previous band, the Karelia, is to be re-issued. Obviously I bought it the first time round, because I'm that cool, so if you want a taster I'm sure to play a track from it at Love Your Enemies this Sunday (/plug).
Last night I realised that with a little tweaking one of my dad's theories demonstrates an intrinsic connection between homo sapiens' position as dominant species, and the tendency to webskive. Now, even as it stands this is a powerful argument against the complaints of parents and employers, but apply a little Science! and it demonstrates that those of us who webskive most are in fact the master race. Result!
(While pondering evolution and invention along these lines over breakfast, I felt a moment of desolation as I realised that generations must have lived and died without ever knoowing toast.)
Turned on the TV this morning to see someone I used to fancy at university talking about flirtation. That was weird.
Some more questionable answers; if your name's not down, expect mail later.

hairyears: Not to the best of my knowledge.
p_dan_tic: I'd really rather not think about it in that level of detail.
my_red_dream: Alas, my powers can be erratic; right now they're not even managing to summon my copy of the new Richard Morgan.
katstevens: A few, but they're easily ignored; action would be more trouble than it's worth.
miss_newham: Hmmm. I'm not sure if I want to see the evidence or not.
*Look, it had a very nice picture of Brandon Flowers on the front, and it's not like I paid for it, OK?
