Spirited Away

Monday, May 31st, 2004

After a number of false starts I have now succeeded in seeing Spirited Away.

It’s absolutely gorgeous. It’s wonderful, fantastic, bizarre, complete and generally great.

And it has the cutest blobs of soot you’ll ever see. Highly recommended.

Interestingly, David Coulthard’s website is keeping a race diary blogish type thing, with their point of view on the races so far.

A new TV program

Friday, May 28th, 2004

The premise is quite simple.

We take Suvivor, Big Brother, Shattered, Matchmaker, ‘I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here’ and we put them on one after the other spread across ITV, Channel 4 and Channel Five.

Every couple of weeks, one of the shows has to be nominated to be taken off the air and put out of it’s misery on live TV, by rounding up the creators of the series and shooting them.

Eventually, there will only be on series left, and the producers will recieve £1,000,000 each on the provision they never produce another ‘Reality TV’ program as long as they live.

If they refuse this option, they will be dunked into a vat of battery acid.

If they accept, they will be given the chance to use it to pay the legal bills when they are charged with crimes against humanity.

Not that I dislike Reality TV.

Or anything.

This is the code for the bookmarklet that adds things to the “That which is also” section on the front page, People may find it useful (I know I will when I get back to work)

javascript:
link=window.prompt('nLink?',window.location);
title=window.prompt(link+'nTitle?',document.title);
comment=window.prompt(link+'n'+title+'nComment?');
referrer=window.prompt(link+'n'+title+'n'+comment
	+'nReferer?',document.referrer);

document.location=
	'[[BLINK URL]]?url='+escape(link)
	+'&title='+escape(title)
	+'&comment='+escape(comment)
	+'&referrer='+escape(referrer);

Remove all tabs and newlines before use
