Wild boys always shiiiiiine

Stayed up most of the night watching Space Above and Beyond. Hooo, but that was good! I can see exactly why angriestangel is so obsessed with it - it suits him down to the ground.

I do wish he'd warned me about Blitzkrieg Bop featuring in the soundtrack, though. Cool as it was, it made my own Wild Boys just a little bit wilder than I really need at two in the morning, and the barking dog in the pilot episode didn't exactly help either.

Took them to the park yesterday afternoon, where we met the most beautiful, sweet tricoloured Border Collie (all right, Spike, the second most beautiful - you know that goes without saying!) playing with a teenage girl. She told me he'd been her dog for two and a half hours, since his original owners didn't have time for him any more... but she'd been walking him regularly since he was a puppy, so she had known and loved him all his life. He and Squish had a jolly time chasing each other through the long grass, and there was even more fun when one of the kids from the houses backing onto the park opened the back gate and let their young Staffie bitch out.

Squish is getting better at playing with other dogs, though he's still inclined to intimidate them a little - Spike and I know he's just heavy-handed and lacking in social skills, poor lad, but the other dogs don't always get it. I also know that he's only overbearing around strange dogs because he's nervous of them, but that improves every time he makes friends with another one. It's been a long time now since I had to seriously worry about him inadvertently starting dogfights. His original family were well on the way to making him seriously dog-aggressive through sheer lack of socialisation, the stupid buggers.

huntingdon has tagged me for the Five Favourite Albums meme. Let's see if I can stop at five this time:

1. Bob Dylan: I can't decide between Blood on the Tracks, Desire, Planet Waves, Empire Burlesque and Street Legal. Right at the moment, I think Planet Waves has the edge. Just.

2. Grateful Dead: Again, I can't really make a choice between Wake of the Flood, American Beauty, In The Dark and Workingman's Dead... In The Dark is this week's favourite but that's subject to change without notice.

3. Kirsty MacColl: Kite. I love everything she ever did, but I love Kite best. The snarkalicious Fifteen Minutes, the bittersweet Don't Come The Cowboy With Me, Sonny Jim, her haunting version of Days, and the Dylanesque Innocence and Free World... Go listen to it. I promise you won't be sorry.

4. The Men They Couldn't Hang - Silvertown. I had this on a cassette that I bought many years ago at W.H. Smith for £1.50 because someone at the shop had lost the inlay card. I'd never heard of them but the band name made me giggle and I decided £1.50 wasn't too big a risk. It was love at first listen... marvellous, dark, rollicking modern Pogues-like folk-rock, only sharper than the Pogues (IMNSHO) and with better lyrics. Within eighteen months I'd played the tape to death, and I haven't been able to find the album again, since it's apparently been deleted. I WANT IT SO BADLY IT HURTS.

5. Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell. Soundtrack of my teen years, especially All Revved Up With No Place To Go, which seemed to sum up my entire life at that age. Classic.

6. I knew I wouldn't be able to stop at five... Iggy Pop - Lust For Life. His other albums are bloody marvellous as well, but Lust for Life is absolutely perfect.

And, in other news: I WANT COCK. Want cock now. Rawrrr!!!
