I ironed my Pink Floyd poster earlier, but due to the type of paper it's printed on, it didn't seem to be doing much good.
I've also put it between the pages of my prebeta copy of google earth (well. An atlas), and stacked some books on it.
Let's see how that turns out.
I haven't got any reaction out of DHL so far, but someone will have to face me eventually, since I've ordered another three posters and a t-shirt which they'll have to deliver. And at that point I'll ask about how to file complains, or how to get my freaking money back for something they broke.

... I'm in a really really really really bad mood right now.
I ordered this Pink Floyd poster off eBay a few weeks ago.
Today, it arrived, and that idiot of a delivery man folded it up the middle and stuffed it in my mailbox, even though it had written "DO NOT BEND" all over it.
I asked him about it a minute later, and he apologised. Said he hadn't noticed it.
Yeah, lovely. I paid 12€ for it, and now I can't use it because it looks like shit.

My current icon should give you an idea of how I feel towards the DHL guy.

[edit] If you have an idea of how I might be able to get those folds out of it, please tell me.

... und deshalb ist wikipedia weiblich.
Hat sich im Chat gerade so ergeben ...

Anyway ... Something that'd irked me for some time was the similarity between bits of Pink Floyd's Echoes and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera.
I knew roughly when Echoes came out, so I wiki'ed to see when Phantom of the Opera was staged. I came to the conclusion that Webber must've borrowed from Pink Floyd, and for a while thought I was the only person who'd noticed.
Then I read through the wiki article on Echoes ...

In later years, Waters complained that Andrew Lloyd Webber had plagiarized themes from this song for sections of his musical The Phantom of the Opera; instead of filing a lawsuit, he wrote a song for his solo album Amused to Death in which Webber is severely injured when the cover to the keyboard on his piano unexpectedly falls closed during a performance.

The song is "It's a miracle" ...

We cower in our shelters
With our hands over our ears
Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff
Runs for years and years and years
An earthquake hits the theatre
But the operetta lingers
Then the piano lid comes down
And breaks his fucking fingers

wooo day off!
woooo headache.
And it's usually not a good sign when I wake up with a headache ...

And as if the day wasn't bad enough, I just read that the release date for Pulse on DVD has been changed to september / october, this year.
Which makes me kinda angry, since according to rumours, the DVD has been lying around in storage since early 2004. Anyway, maybe they're postponing it so they can release it on DVD, blue ray, and hddvd simultaneously ...
*shurgs*
If this was anything other than a Pink Floyd DVD, I would've stopped bothering by now ...

oh, and I had a bad dream, where I had to reboot because something had taken over my comp and shutting down stuff, and stuff ... ):

Current Mood: pissed
Current Music: HiM - (Don't Fear) The Reaper

I googled "pink floyd writing credits" earlier, don't even remember why now.
Anyway, I came across this article: The Final Indulgence, which taught me the most useful piece of information ever:

Rick Wright's contributions to DSotM included material of the quality of "The Great Gig in the Sky," hailed to this day by virtually everyone who's ever heard it, as the best song in history to make love to.
