Cruel and delicious in equal measures - I have taken the burncats blogger name and hope to get some material up there asap. (www.burncats.com also available but will wait a while to throw that money out the window) What I could write about over there which i can't here? - ah, always advisable to have other means of communication - though judging by the title, burncats would possibly be shut down before the more innocuous "spo3".
So what could a title like "burncats" connote? Of course it wouldn't be a site to promote the cruelty towards felines (unless......... joking joking! jesus, even my inside the brackets voice has some sort of self censorship PC filtration system!)
I was thinking about an advertising blog - just to follow what I think is good, bad and inbetween and then leave spo3 to my own production... hmmmm
On the other hand, the burning cats society (BCS) gets so little recognition at the moment. Since its heyday back during the Inquisition years, this much loved pass time just seems to have been left in the ashes of history. And have you seen the number of feral cats roaming our streets at the moment? Would make a great Daily Mail front story! They run the streets like immigrants - though I would never suggest burning people - unless.... why stop at cats? The Inquisition didn't, and in truth, are we any more morally evolved than our 15th century Spanish cousins? I too, dear reader, watch the news and see the phosphorous ordinance fall on rooftops in Falluja. Or account managers locking parked SUV´s in Times Square, and all in the name of ......well, I don't really know, but as long as i can have a go at cats - they invented darkness!

So, an advertising blog then...

The Pixies live track can be downloaded for free at pixiesmusic.com - they are giving away a four track live ep in celebration of their album Doolittle turning 20 years old - (I remember looking at it on cassette in "Jingles" record shop on Coleraine high street way back then - me in school uniform!!). All they ask for is your email address so they can add you to their mailing list. Also, thanks to the Wedding Present two Sundays ago for a fantastic night in Loppen - and this time I garnered the courage to go and speak to David Gedge himself - though we did end up talking about facebook vs twitter - I hope I kept my "You're My Hero!" feelings behind some sort of cooler exterior, but not completely, methinks.

Was getting a lift late last night after work. The guy driving still had to go to his sister's house to feed her cats - she is on holiday and it had been a long day and I asked why bother? cats can look after themselves supposedly... as it goes, it turns out they can't. Funny that.
To a cat hater like myself, the fact that the one main arguement owners try use to defend keeping domesticated felines ie their independence, is untrue. This made me once again ponder the deviousness of cats and hence come up with an apt T-shirt slogan -

"BURN CATS. NOT LEGAL BUT RIGHT", possible on a red background, or a small graphic of, yes, you guessed correctly, a burning cat.

In fact, a whole political party could be born out of such cruel sloganeering...

(pssssssst, that could be called the far right!)

here are the first images i have put up for a while - been neglected the blog in lieu of school and other commitments - poor poor me - and poor poor fellow students who I was watching give their presentations yesterday - not poor in the sense of what they were presenting, good work I thought all round, even when the Danske Spil rep. ripped into the projects on the basis of money only (which is understandable) - but poor in the sense that these drawings where done during the presentations when in fact I should have been watching and listening a touch more - but is poor the correct word here? who knows and who cares! really - the doodles are a continuation of something that began in a "get back to work" I was in a year or so ago - as you can tell, I didn't go back to work.
