Damn You, Amy Winehouse!

So for a while here, I figured I was just killing it with the whole blog revamp -- I've been getting upwards of 50 hits a day for a while, which is far and above what I got before. But, according to my hit counter, someone linked a picture I posted of Amy Fucking Winehouse that I put up in passing on my blog. This damned picture keeps sending people to the Google image result on my blog, and while the publicity is nice, it's just not right. I'm not sure what to do to fix it either -- I deleted the picture, but the post is auto-cached through Google, so no dice.

So, in summation, Amy, you're ruining my life, one click at a time.

Cats, Dammit

Because this is my blog and I get to do whatever the hell I want --

Paint

So, I don't play video games, because even though I don't have a life, I have enough of a life to "have a life" enough to not play video games. Ya dig? Anyways, this is "a 'tech demo' for a videogame that's still in development called The Unfinished Swan. You 'shoot paint' in order to navigate your way through the game's labyrinthian monochromatic levels." And it's really fucking cool.

Giant Lego Man Appears on Brighton Beach

This is pretty awesome. What if you were the one who came across this guy?

It is thought to have washed up on the beach, and was spotted by children
playing there.The Lego man is 6ft tall in red, yellow and green. It is presumed to have washed up on the beach, but whether it has come from a cargo ship or from across the Channel is not clear. Brighton resident Gerry Turner, 34, said: "It's very odd. God knows how it got here but people are saying it's from Holland because it's got some Dutch writing on it. It must have fallen off a boat of something. The kids love it." Children helped stand the Lego man up on the beach, but are still mystified as to where it came from. One said: "It's great, but we don't know why it's here." A spokesman for Brighton and Hove City Council said it didn't know the origin of the Lego man, but said it was fine for it to remain on the beach. He said: "There's no
problem at all. It will be interesting to see how long the Lego man stays there for. We'll keep an eye on it." A different giant Lego man was fished out of the sea in the Dutch resort of Zandvoort in August. That model was yellow and blue, and had the words "No real than you are" in English across its torso. That toy was said to come from England, so perhaps the Dutch decided to return the favour.
