Been trapped in doors all day. Not really trapped just not given the opportunity to leave. When such an occasion happens it seems to be tradition of me to gather anything in my peripheral vision and toy with it. So today I picked a horrible selection of clothes and clashed them all (blue t-shirt, black shorts, grey woolly socks) and to top it off i found a yellow fireman's hat just laying around so I thought I'd sport that for a while.
-Love Rollercoaster
Oh man I just went on a 'Monkey Dust' marathon. Wasted the last several hours in a flash. I'm overwhelmed by the amount of comic genius i had to take in, but also feel quite sadened by the undertones of depression carried with it all. Excellent show, all the episodes are on youtube so just click away and enjoy the animation of 'Monkey Dust'.
-Watching The Detectives
Not been blogging lately. Partly due to all the non-stop partying i've been doing ( I like to party) and mostly possibly entirely due to the new game I bought. UFC Undisputed 2009. I have been a fan of UFC for a while and before that i was a fan of K-1 grand prix but i never really expected a good game out of it. I just liked watching these people brutally beat each other with very few rules but the game actually turned out quite good. It's fairly addictive but on the most part all round fun. Being your favourite mixed martial arts fighter beating up your other favourite mixed martial arts fighter, it just makes sense. The career mode is quite long and it encourages you to do it many times. I done the natural thing and made Jherard, and it was going really well untill I finished making him, confirmed it (no turning back at this point) and then realised it looked nothing like him. So im stuck with a generic looking asian person called Jherard, but he does throw a mean punch.
-On Green Dolphin Street
Was late off the waking up mark so I grabbed some near by clothing from my wardrobe and set off on an adventure to the bank with my mum. After a very long meeting with the lady of the bank my Visa electron (very fancy) card was ordered. In 7 -10 days it will be in my possession and i will be able to fill my life with meaningless objects via the intertube such as a game for a console that came out 9 years ago, or a t-shirt with an animal on it. Anything really will be just a several clicks away. I also purchased a new computer video game for the xbox 360 entertainment system, and had a nice mini lunch(some chips and an orange juice) in the George with my mum and her friend.
-Too much monkey business
Life is indeed beautiful and so is this film. It's an incredibly heart warming film that rightfully deserves all 3 of the Oscars it won. I woke up this morning unsatisfied with a disruptive nights sleep and decided that i would watch this masterpiece that i have put off for so long. I'm so glad i did watch it. The film has such an old feel to it that it doesn't even feel like it was made in 1997 more like 1960s. All the main characters are so likeable making it such an entertaining watch. The character Guido is one of those amazing characters that can only exist in films due to his unbelievable charm and optimism, however it is dramatic. It's such a contrast of having an horrific event such as the holocaust with a heart warming story.
I'll be happy to lend it to anyone who wants to watch it
-So Much Love
A day that consists of much a happening took place today. Alot happened on a small scale, only expecting to spend the day rolling around my room in a zorb of apathy a young man of zimbabwean descent graced my presents. Thats when things kicked off, fresh out of the horrible heat of my house exacerbated by my symptoms of illness we bebopped down to Tom's discothèque(his house) and collectively wasted time doing nothing and listening to homophobic reggae. Better than nothing. Doesnt sound like much written down but it seemed like alot had happened whislt it was happening.
-Never Too Much
Wow, that was really good. So many amazing shots used especially during the party scenes. The use of the car light and fog made it seem surreal and then the flashing lights topped it off. The soundtrack was excellent with music only used when absoloutely needed. To be honest i don't think i have ever heard so much diegetic sound used in a film. Excellent performance from Robert Carlyle and his not over-used in the film which makes the moments his on screen even better. The film had such a naturalistic feel to it, some parts sounded so genuine (the fight scene at the party) that i couldnt even imagine how they scripted that.
In other news i spent the whole day doing nothing. Just sitting around eagerly awaiting for something interesting to arise as i wondered the depths of the internet. I did get 3 new followers today, thats the biggest increase on this blog since records began (records began yesterday). oh and 'Ideal' was good. Its become so abstract now the old simple life of Moz a drug dealer with crazy aquentences is a mere spec in time compared to the new series. Still a great show.
-So Glad To See You
Do you know why W.S. Gilbert was frequently drunk on his trans-Atlantic crossings? because he was quartered on the port side.
Right i have fulfilled my mission statement of 'For the craic' now i dont have to be funny anymore. Dont worry i will just dont expect it all the time. Nothing like a bad joke to kick off something new, the picture isnt even of W.S. Gilbert, its Ivan Pavlov. Oh no i'm tearing at the seams already and i'm only half way through my first post.
I don't really have much to say except i have recently(last 24 hours) discovered Elvis Costello that was a good find. If i find anything interesting to say i'll post, maybe even with an entertaining picture...maybe.
