Comments boxes.... I'm quite bad with them. I like to have them yet am terrible at replying. And even worse at commenting on other. Must apologise for this, or for anyone who I've left waiting for a reply. I do the same with emails, I leave them for months without replying. perhaps something to do with suspension of events....

football... have been reading football message boards for work recently. I find it strange that when a player is a member of a certain team the fans love him and when he leaves they no longer care. It seems that the people do not exist, just the signifier of the team name with transient bodies moving in and out. The driving force behind the movement of players is shifts in capital... 'I have more money so I will buy the better players,' little to do with the actual home city of the team. All the emotion of it comes from the fans... their emotion driven by the capital that shifts the transient bodies between different signifiers. Is football real? I think maybe not.

SEP tomorrow... may be inspired to write something about that.

Infinite Thought has lent me her Preacher comics. I was never really into comics until a friend lent me one of the Preacher ones last year and I absolutely loved it. He didn't have the rest and they're pretty expensive so I didn't get to finish them. Now that I can I am happily engrossed in a world of a preacher who can use the word of god, an irish vampire who fought during 1916 (nice touch, I think), crazy s&m fuckos, gratuitous violence and blaspheming.... excellent. I definately recommend it to anyone who likes stuff in general.
