The Importance of Being Idle

Here Comes The Boom

Ahhh had a good nights sleep last night, although my dreams (and as a result my early waking conciousness) were filled with the Katamari Damacy theme, which is actually as super-chirpy as you can get.
I've got "Are You Being Served?" on tv at the moment, and it is both funny, and also ridiculously old-fashioned. Perhaps if you weren't alive at the time, none of it would seem funny at all, but it's what, early 70s, '72,'73 something like that, and feminism is still new and frightening, war veterans are still young and vital, the class system was still hanging about, and the labour movement still had teeth. It'd be a lie to say it was a simpler time, cos it really wasn't, in a lot of ways things were more complicated and the world was much larger: there were only three TV channels and most houses still didn't have telephones, let alone mobile phones, computers were huge things that only industry could afford and the internet was merely a gleam in the eye of Tim Berners-Lee. These days the comedy seems old-fashioned, sexist and racist, but those were the times. All I know is that its reminding me of being a kid and its a pleasantly nostalgic feeling for a Sunday morning.
You still waiting for the boom?


Me too.
