3) Air
4) The Divine Comedy
5) Queens of the Stone Age
6) Faithless
7) Groove Armada
8) Underworld
9) Jay Z / Linkin Park Audioclash
10) GTA: Vice City Soundtrack Album (Not a band as such, just 7 great mix cds)

This made me laugh. It's a webcomic crossover, featuring everyone's favourite pink, apocalyptic bundle of love, choo-choo bear.

Also, the beeb is reporting that howard dean is going to be chairman of the democrats. This makes me happy, I'm a big fan of Dean and strongly believe that if te Democrats are ever going to be able to rebuild themselves as a force in american politics it will be through establishing themselves as a credible and distinctive progressive alternative, not as Republicans-Lite. I'll keep you up to date on this one, so check back soon.

Inspired by my LJ friend 8footwookie, I've made a couple of quizzes about me and my hilarious high-jinks. The second is for beginners and casual accquaintances: An introduction to Avery, the first is for experts only: Avery and Averiology. Unlike him I have no real prizes to give out, but if someone does really well (without any cheating) I might.
I made a sexy Quiz for you! Take my Quiz in Avery! and then Check out the Scoreboard!

I made another Quiz for my twisted pleasure! Take Heroin! and then Check out Underage Girls! (then go to Prison, you sicko)

Eventually I will get around to doing a proper post, so be patient.

Postscript: I actually thought of so many other questions that I made a 3rd quiz:I made a Quiz for you! Take my Quiz! and then Check out the Scoreboard!

I'm still dreaming about the OTC. It's amazing how much hold it still has on my dream-world. I've been out (albeit very unhappily) for a couple of months, but still almost all of my dreams have OTC people / elements in it and about 1 in 3 is principally military in nature. The last one was fairly mundane: I mostly just remember running around with a rifle and getting the wrong rifle and having to go back and some weird discussion of death in films. I was impressed with myself, though AS I saw one of my friends and she wasn't looking that well in the dream, so I stopped to check if she was okay even though I was in trouble for being late. My dream from yesterday was at least about something else, even if I don't know what that was. It had weird games and had a lot of parts when I was inside computer games and one time when I was in the restaurant scene from the beginning of garden state. In keeping with the Garden state thing it also had Zach Braff and Sarah Chalke (J.D. and Elliot from scrubs) in it and, later on, Katie Holmes (joey from dawson's creek) though I don't really remember why or what they did. I do remember vividly a part when I caught a kid shoplifting and pretended to be a cop fir a little while, I was impressed with my law-abiding nature but the ease with which I resorted to physical force to restrain someone much younger and smaller than me is, perhaps, unsettling. I'm not going to go into a full-blown description of my dream-scape and its ins and out today, though, as in any case its not really ever linear enough to make that much sense and is usually massively routine and deeply mundane (I have in all seriousness paid the gas bill in my dreams as well as various other deeply unexciting household tasks).In (relatively) real world news, I'm back in Newcastle for the holidays. I had been looking forward to coming home much more than I have recently, but since I've been back I've been mostly bored. It underlined to me just how unexciting and repetitive my life was in Newcastle when I was here as a teenager. While it has been nice to see my various friends again, with a few exceptions we really just do exactly the same things we used to do, over and over again. I've also returned to my old, shockingly unhealthy, sleep pattern like an old friend, so I'm back to staying up until six in the morning then getting up about 2 in the afternoon.I've realised that I'm mainly just rambling incoherently in the way that I do after having been recently woken up, so I will finish presently. In closing it is probably worth noting that I've embarked on an all-out boycott of christmas this year, I've always hated and now I don't have to pretend to be festive, I'm not going to be.I don't how long it will be before I update again, so you all have a reasonably cheerful holiday season and anglo-saxon new year.

My Lj friend, 8footwookie drew me a picture as pasrt of a crazy lj interests drawing meme. It's pretty.http://www.livejournal.com/users/8footwookie/82843.html?thread=362139#t362139Also will do proper update later.
