The mysterious power to sit in the path of sonic weaponry.

Don't seem to be sleeping much at the moment - and yet, for the most part, I'm not feeling bad on it. Although that said, if you see me dozing off at the Luxembourg show tonight, don't gloat about it, eh?

Although I like the 'above the pavement, the lawn' quality of grassing over Trafalgar Square - and it trounces much of what trades as either art or protest these days - they didn't get it quite right. Obviously it would never look as striking once it was obscured by people, but to really catch the mind they should have gone past the fountains, just as virtual reality has to really wrap around past the obvious limits of the human field of vision.

It was irksome that lately Pretty In Pink and The Beautiful & Damned seemed to have synchronised their monthly cycles, but on top of that, this Thursday gone their guiding lights both bowed out - Sean departing Pretty In Pink for the USA, Dickon B&D for other projects. I would have liked to be able to say my goodbyes to both, but realised early on that if I tried to do that I'd do neither of them justice. I don't know how PiP went, but B&D was full and fun enough that I never had time to worry I might be missing out. And that's the main thing, isn't it?

Iain M Banks has written another Culture book. And it's a mammoth one, with appendices and everything. GET IN!

Harlan Ellison - perhaps the only man in the world who can get away with calling Grant Morrison Jim Morrison and still have my respect.

そうか。最近の傾向として、PR/広報、マーケティング、顧客管理、それからwebまーけてぃんぐまでがひとつになろうとしていて、対顧客への高い感受性から、まーけ、PR、コミュニケーション、クライアントサービス、トレーニング、イメージ戦略とか広い意味でのマーケティング分野をいろいろできる人って潜在需要はあるよね~
だって、スタッフをトレーングすることってCIの一部でPRの一部なのよね。そういうことわかってる人ってまだ少ないよね~

Marvellous, not only am I getting the random orientalism again, I'm not even getting comment notifications about it.

Oooh that's quite funky. Have heard of a lot of folks not getting notifications atm.

As in the Japanese spam is funky? Had you not seen it before? I've been getting it on and off for a couple of weeks now, I think. In fact, even with my best 'any comment is good for the comment counts' head on, I think I'm getting bored enough of it to start in with the deletions...

First time I've seen it so yes funky atm but can imagine that it gets dull very quickly.

I suppose that's one of the advantages of a locked journal...

It's clearly a coded warning from aliens about to invade, a la Independence Day.

[livejournal.com profile] kanzakura translated some, and it appeared to be about job interviews. Unless they've already got to him!

Was I meant to be doing you a copy of Erasure, btw?

I don't think so, but you can if you want, ta.
