Ketamin for everyone...

It's so cold in this house...
Where to start? Well first of all I'd like to say how saddened I am about the recent death of Arthur Miller. He was a legendary playwright whom I will sorely miss. I have great memories of studying Death of a Salesman at A-Level, particularly of watching the film, featuring Dustin Hoffman and acting it out (for some odd reason) in my English Literature class.
In other news, I can't say I'm surprised at the recent scandal about the abuse of immigrants at Oakington, it was going to happen. I'm in no way condoning the abuse, but you've got to accept that some people are unable to cope with the high levels of stress that go with a job like that, and the immigrants, since they seem to be regarded as the scum of the earth in this country at the moment, are an easy target at which to vent this frustration. The only surefire solution I can come up with to guarantee that this kind of thing won't flare up again is prescribing both staff and detainees a healthy dose of ketamin. Unorthodox I know, but they'll be completely unable to abuse eachother, sexually or otherwise, if they physically can't get up. I suppose it would all go wrong when they are unable to feed themselves and all die, though. Oh well.
In personal news, my World of Warcraft addiction is still rampant. I am compelled to spend every spare second of my life playing the damn game, which would be fine if I didn't frequently find myself awake at 4am fishing...
I'm not feeling my best today. This is completely down to the fact that I decided to help myself to two hefty mugs of strong proper coffee five minutes before bed last night, but I blame the government for not warning the public that this much caffeine is guaranteed to keep you awake until 5am and unable to function as a normal member of society the next day.
What is keeping me going right now is the beautiful art-rock peddled by Bloc Party, who in my opinion are set to be ten times bigger than Franz Ferdinand with songs like 'Helicopter' and album highlight 'Positive Tension' sounding so much better than 'Take Me Out', and that's coming from a Franz fan. If you want my advice on up and comers, and even if you don't, my advice is to check out the sublime Nine Black Alps for scuzzy indie delights like 'Cosmopolitan' and The Subways for Von Bondies style rawk with a British flavour. Remember you heard it here first, unless of course you're an NME reader in which case you heard it here second.

Over and out...
