Twitter, Facebook status updates, and daily blog missive series' such as this are enemies of posterity. At least, that's how it feels "in the moment." That doesn't excuse my lack of enthusiasm of late, but it does explain it.

No, Facebook. I'm not from England.

A year ago, I would've have zero compunction about staying up to watch the Oscars live. Very possibly, in their entirety. Nowadays, it's Sky+ all the way. Observations:

1. Hugh Jackman's a bit good.
2. Tina Fey + Steve Martin are class acts.
3. Even though Dan spoiled the two awards I was most looking forward to via Facebook, I'm still really looking forward to them.

I forgive you, Dan. I forgive you.

I've been called many things in my life, many less than flattering. However, sometimes people make you happy. By way of a for instance, I was made an officer in the Facebook group 'Admiral Ackbar is a pathetic, lying cheat' - http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=53001405278&ref=ts. My title: "Sith Gangsta." Outstanding.

Premier Football is the only Facebook application worthwhile. Even if you're not a fan, it offers depth and longevity far beyond that of the usual "Secret Crush" or "Give Us A Kiss" tat that vie for your attention. It's far from perfect, sure, but I love it all the same. A bit like Rangers, really. Lately, I've noticed the app's tendency to award curious Man (or Woman) Of The Match Awards. In the most egregious cases, one could single-handedly lead his or her cohorts to glory, scoring in the process, and still fall short of the prestigious "bottle of bubbly." Hardly infuriating, but puzzling all the same.

Then.... today...
