How does that Queensryche song start? "It suddenly hit me like a... like a two ton heavy thing." Yeah - that would be the flu-type bitch that put me down like a dog yesterday afternoon. I haven't been ill for so long, I thought I might actually pass away in my sleep. That's how you know when it's not a dose of man-flu but the real deal. Good thing I didn't die though - that wouldn't have gone down very well on small person's birthday. Note to everybody: if you think you might die, avoid shrugging off this mortal coil on the birthday of people you care about. Nobody wants a spoiler hanging around on their birthday for the rest of their life.

I reviewed the new Bon Jovi album for Mike at The Void this week - it didn't go so well. Mostly because it's not very good. How sad - but it did make me go digging and remember just how great an album New Jersey was, but I don't think that was the band's intention. Should have made a proper record then - and then people (it wasn't only me) would say nice things. Having a solid record deal is not a free pass anymore. Shit, for most people it's a bloody luxury.

I saw a glimpse of the future yesterday. Over at io9, they posted a story about Rutger Hauer's new role in True Blood. Here's what I saw:

Oh yeah. That's not so far away believe me, but I can't leave it at that - I thought I might combine it with Don Johnson's facial hair from Django, which looks like this:

Too extreme perhaps? I think it's quite becoming. I think I like Don's suit better than Rutger's though... file under pending. Will look like a fool in either though...
