I've got insomnia. I left QBN hours ago, now I have nothing better to do than to return. I watched Paronama which was about the recession. In typical Nu-Paronama Jeremy Vine style it was a totally subjective tabloid style panic-fest featuring lots of desolate and depserate people hit by the credit crunch and recession... such as two pikey girls who were being forced to pawn a pair of earring for ten pounds so they could afford to go to argos and buy ( I kd you not) a pair of earrings. A bloke who was having to sell his pub for one pound strling to crawl from under the pile of debts he'd mounted up (surely that's just being unintelligent, not a sign of recession) and various other tales. And although it was all daft, and althouth the studio is rock solid at the moment and I'm as bust as I ever am... I still started thinking Hmmmmm, what if that's me someday soon?
So now I can;t fucking sleep. Thanks Jeremy Vine. Thanks Paronama. I hope next week's show is them reporting on the detrimental effects of making rubbish, ill-researched, lazy, sensationalist docudramas.

I am glad I missed the QBN’s fave designers and “talent in the midst” threads. I may have hung up my wacom forever.
Yes, it is a popularity contest. Always has been, always will be.

They were too jealous to say so, but I knew mate, I FUCKN KNEW,SkyPoo - as long as it uses diagonal lines and/or 70s display faces, it's ok with me********
- One of my nominations included Spooky, and then nairn was all like, "pffft"
http://www.qbn.com/t…Jaline - Ah nice of youJ, but I firstly I were only kidding just now, and second I'm definitely not a print designer since 2001SkyPoo

i am a better designer than all of you. if i weren't why else would i be working on labor day making a powerpoint presentation? clearly they trust me with this stuff and wouldn't have anyone else do such delicate work.
- They asked me to do that PPP. I said NO FUKN WAY MAN. I'M NOT DOING THAT.SkyPoo
- LIES!emukid
- You should get araise.SkyPoo
- I don't mean 'araise', I mean
"ERASED".SkyPoo - this is the only we agree on. but i refuse to get erased until i find out what your previous username was.emukid
- I can't tell you. Ask Spooky. He knows.SkyPoo

Everybody knows things are bad. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth. Banks are going bust... shop-keepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild on the street and there's nobody anywhere that seems to know what to do. And there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe, our food is unfit to eat... we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes -- as if that's the way it's supposed to be.

I don't want you to protest and I don't want you to riot or write your Congressman, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians or the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad... you've got to say: I'm a human being -- Goddamn it -- my life has value!
- emukid0
I want you to get up now, I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up, right now, and go to the window -- open it and stick your head out and yell: I'M AS MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!

he car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
and a dark wind blows
the government is corrupt
and we're on so many drugs
with the radio on and the curtains drawnwe're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
and the machine is bleeding to deaththe sun has fallen down
and the billboards are all leering
and the flags are all dead at the top of their polesit went like this:
the buildings tumbled in on themselves
mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble
and pulled out their hairthe skyline was beautiful on fire
all twisted metal stretching upwards
everything washed in a thin orange hazei said: "kiss me, you're beautiful -
these are truly the last days"you grabbed my hand and we fell into it
like a daydream or a feverwe woke up one morning and fell a little further down -
for sure it's the valley of deathi open up my wallet
and it's full of blood

Zac is obsessed about the idea of his birthday (3rd birthday coming up in November). Just asks out of the blue “Is it your birthday today?”
He has taken to calling me either Fungal Bum or Cut Corn (don’t know where that came from) Great Days indeed.
Apologies for those of you without kids.
- is that fungal bum like an ass with fungus problem or a homeless man with fungal problems?emukid
- i can't decide which one is worse.emukid
- The former. His baby brother had nappy-rash or “diaper-rash” which went fungal, as can often happen.MrOneHundred

Hmmm... I wonder how I should go about looking for a drummer/bassist... Facebook? Craigslist? I know some people who are good, but I want some people nearby to just mess around with and crank the volume.
- I’d do it if I were nearby.MrOneHundred
- Put up flyers around your home?Jaline
- Town population: 500 (not including weekenders and reclusive celebrities)ismith
- Hmm...would people move out to join a band though? I guess it is worth trying. Do both Craigslist and Facebook.Jaline
- (I obviously know nothing about this, but the wider the audience, the better)Jaline
- i'd enlist if i weren't twice your age, 3 states away or even remotely talentedlocustsloth

Bus stop?omgitsacamera - Yes. Someone asked me.Jaline
- Gill SansMrOneHundred
- any consensus?Jaline
- listen to the man they all call fungal bum.emukid
- I'm thinking Gill Sans because of the pointy W.omgitsacamera
- Oh, FFS!! Just because I’m not one of QBN’s Top Designers, you need a second opinion??? ;-)MrOneHundred
- Someone else suggested Gill Sans, and then they argued about how they have different versions. So I'm lost.Jaline
- i'd listen to anal fungus if i were you.emukid
- Just use Gill Sans and tell them to shove their different versions where the bus don’t stop.MrOneHundred
- Want to see the diff?

i used to work at this diner
and i just got back in touch with one of the waitresses after almost a decade and she reminded me of one of my favorite snacks while i was cooking:
a dish of cottage cheese with beef gravy on it! Oh shit that was good. And i had totally forgotten about it. Now i gotta figure out how to make for myself at home without making my wife wretch.- *wretchninjasavant
