Misery Is The River Of The World

Three blogs in one day, you lucky fuckers.
professorterror.co.uk is no more. I discovered streamline.net had taken a total of about £150 from my bank account on friday, which, needless to say, pissed me off. I sent them an e-mail thing asking them what the blooming heck was going on. Apparently I had not one, but two free-three-month-trial accounts with them. Hmm, yes, I remember now. But why would a free-three-month-trial account cost me £75? Well, that's easy, silly! It CLEARLY says in the terms and conditions that if you do not upgrade your account or cancel your account before the three months is up, they will very kindly automatically upgrade your account for you. Isn't that nice? Of course, the default upgrade is obviously the most expensive. I think that's really sneaky; if you don't tell them not to, they will take loads of money from your bank account. Rude. So after A long e-argument, I finally got my money refunded, but after that I didn't feel like buying something from them, so I just closed professorterror.co.uk. It was mostly just a bunch of links, no real content. I might look into getting some free web-hosting for the stuff that isn't on youtube, myspace or this blog, but that isn't much.
In other news, I went to Zoe's on Friday which was pretty cool, and Arieges the day after, which was also pretty cool. There was lots of bitterness at both, and I got pretty angry/upset at the latter. However I also spent time with some of the best people I've ever met (and a lot of time with one of the best), so I guess it all balances out.
On the journey home I thought about how everyone reads newspapers on trains; I don't like that. They only do it to keep themselves occupied, but when I want to be occupied, I think. I thought that sounded stupid when I first thought it, but then on the train I came up with the Romeo and Juliet idea, which I am exceedingly proud of, so I stand by my non-newspaper-reading ways. News is depressing, anyway. I want to make the Romeo and Juliet thing into a spoken word song. Watch this space.

Listen to Tom Waits.

Reading the newspaper and thinking aren't mutually exclusive, in fact i'd say the complete opposite unless you're an idiot.

If i've just read an article i'm more likely to think about something interesting and worthwhile, whereas if i'm just sitting on a train most thoughts tend to go towards something like "I'm gonna have to change seats if those two slags don't stop talking about their shitty dance crew in the stupidest sounding way possible".

That's weird, I was thinking exactly the same thing today on my way home on the train. Everyone just buries themselves in something. I used to read a book but now I just listen to music and contemplate stuff. Newspapers are really depressing though, I don't see the point. Anything truly important you will hear about, everything else is drivel. Steve (btw!)

I disagree completely, but then what i find "depressing" and what i find "hilarious" overlaps significantly.
