a big guy in a big city

The return to uni greeted me with quite a haul of freebies, one even came from Belgium! I’ll post and review them tomorrow since I’m going to bed soon and I need to check through an essay.

Guess who owns a .com….. yeah, me! bigguybigcity.com is now mine (and Richard’s) for just $18.40 for 2 years, so we’re only paying £2.40 each a year for a domain, apols for the switching between currency but Richard gave me £4.80 so it’s pretty obvious how it goes. Now I need to design a portal site so that everything can be linked from one page.

Now we can legitimately try and find sex-ay models (other than me) for the clothes, an item of which I’m going to purchase now.

P.S. I’m back in Leicester for the start of the term, nothings changed here, and its good to see my housemates again.

In all the recent excitement of linking to shed loads of random stuff I forgot to mention that we finally sorted out the hotel for the Amsterdam trip. So that’s that sorted, there’s nothing stopping us now. And I’ve got both the Lonely Planet and Rough Guide’s to Amsterdam, so we are thoroughly prepared. I guess I’d better get some hard core drinking in so I can built up my system for the onslaught.

IFILM - Naked Joke of the Week! Collection

I know I seem to pimp Ifilm a lot here, but I love it, so there you go.

This series of video’s really highleghts the glory of the internet, to the extent where I feel that really, really short sentence should make my point clear. Pornstars. Naked. Telling jokes. For Free. Genius.

Also, since when did Ifilm become porno heaven, fair enough they only last a couple of minutes, but do you really need more. ew.

IFILM - Viral Videos: Styling with Mr. T

Why do I have 18hours or A-Team videos when all I needed was this 4 minute segment…

Wear your own name… or better yet, wear my brand, I’m terrible.

mtv.com - News - Audioslave Performing Rage, Soundgarden Material At Shows

Oh my god!!! Oh my god!!! Oh my god!!! not it isn’t often that I’m brought into fits of girly giddiness, but that is huge. I thought my chance to see any Rage members performing Rage songs died five years ago, but no, on June 23rd at Brixton Academy I will (probably) be treated to an audio delight. Oh, that wasn’t an intended pun.

The store link didn’t load up, so here it is again

JANUARY 1915: “The company was withdrawn to the reserve line - fortunately as some of the shells were short and made a dickens of a mess of our own trench.”

This man is clearly a master of understatement. He doesn’t talk about his counterparts much though, Cairnie, you’re a brave man, and a fine writer, but you aren’t aiding my search.

I know what I said before, but I figure there’s no harm in putting just a little link to the store on here, now tha I’ve got 14 products up there, including hotpants!

I think I should probably focus more on y’know, uni work, so I can get a degree, but this is a lot of fun, and much more creative than trying to find archived primary sources about Frist World War soldiers and their opinions of their French or German counterparts…… and the worst thing is, I picked the topic!

I’ve finished both both my mini-paragraphs with exclamation marks, better keep the trend going with this one!

Newcastle tend to have a habit of showing promise then blowing it in the end, which was proved this week with two consecutive 4-1 defeats in the cup competitions that were keeping our extremely mediocre season alive. But just for the record, Man Utd’s 4th goal was definitely offside, and even though the game was alreadt over at that point it shouldn’t have counted.

Well, at least we’re the first team to score against them in the FA cup this season.

The store is well upon its way, though domain registration still needs to be sorted, I’ve done 8 products now, and uploaded 2 vector designs for approval before they can be put on more products. I’m giving myself around 10 days to launch because it’s not just me doing this so I have to clear it all with Richard, and hopefully get some input from Duncan too. Richards talking about a viral campaign to spread the word, and I’ve thought way ahead of myself and already thought out the super-sexy video ad that I hope to circulate via e-mail/Ifilm/atomfilms and all that jazz.

The Amstel Botel people haven’t e-mailed me back yet and it’s been a few days now so I think I’ll give them a ring tomorrow and hope thet their English is good.
