Woot, got my results yesterday. Passed first year with a 1st. Winzor.

I agree with Dan.

I have this joke with my Cornish friend at uni that Devon and Cornwall are basically analagous to the confederate states in the US. They even have their own fucking flag. It's only a matter of time.

Thanks to bastard friends, I've been listening to the Hammer all day. Thinking of getting some balloon pants and the lines shaved into the side of my head...

Blink 182 are fantastic.

I can't help it, its in my nature. Besides, its for the ladies

Lol. But dude, its a bad bad film. I say this objectively speaking, or at least subjectively in so far as I'm not retarded. That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it when I first watched it, although I'm beginning to think that was more because of the expectations I had seeing as its a pretty iconic film...for some reason, even though everything about it is so transparent. It doesn't even work as a comedy, like Predator =p. Phailyurrrr.

Watching T2 with my gf made me realise quite how shite the whole thing is, because watching anything with an audience makes you consider the ridiculousness of it all and makes it even harder to suspend your disbelief. There are some fairly cool moments peppered throughout, but as a whole, its pretty ass, especially if you remove yourself from the context of the era in which it was released; then you realise that not only is the acting and story pretty crude, but the effects and action are pretty sedate too. Phail. Not sure if I can be bothered with Salvation. Drag me to hell: watched it with some friends about a week or so ago. Was very entertaining all the way through, some genuinely frightening moments were seemingly "ruined" by the hilarious gore and spewing of bodily fluids, but I think that was probably the point. Monster pops out of the closet and scares the shit out of you only to have the director instantly reverse that effect as if he's taking the piss. Fun film. Justin Long was not too annoying. Strange.

Great ice cream place near uni. Hair is still slightly red: Man, looking through Facebook there are so many naked pic of me now, its quite frightening. I just realised aswell that everyone in my networks can see them...so possibly, my parents could have seen... everything o_0.

That's probably because you're able to suspend the disdain of your own ears since you can't actually understand the embarrassing utterances. Singing something or saying it with a musical/ rhythmic backing tends to make it lyrically and thematically more more convincing, since the instrumentalisation sets the mood and tone for the argument the lyrics are trying to make. If you don't know the meaning of the words, you can invent whatever connotations you want. That's why I enjoy Sigur Ros...probably. Who knows. Exactly, there's probably more reliance on tonality. In fact, even bands like Behemoth or Converge rely on this for me, cause the music is pretty fucking aggressive and angry, and seeing as I can't actually understand the lyrics (I would if I read up on them, but I prefer to see the music as autonomous), it just acts as pure tone for me. There's no real dialogic content, all it serves to do is create a mood. But that's why I love it.

Oh god, I totally forgot about this game. Yeah, I'll be up for a few games of this, if anyones up for setting up an N-E game night with it...

Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet is probably one to avoid, and I'll articulate why when I'm a bit more awake, but I did really quite like his version of Henry V way better than Laurence Olivier's, gives a presentation of the king as morally and ethically conflicted, whereas the other is basically just "fookin look at us British, were so great lol," pretty much justification of a war that was anything but just if you were to apply Henry's issue with the French monarchy to his own. Also, the film version of Othello with Ian McKellen as Iago is pretty fantastic. Go and watch! Things I'd wish I had done/ experienced: I have never been traveling without my family, something I really want to do since it would give me an experience that wasn't constricted by the limitations of a parent/child relationship. By which I mean, I wanna go France, get wasted out of my wits and go on Space Mountain. It could be brilliant. There are others, but most of them are way too personal to bother with posting.

Just did a fun essay. Fun mostly because the whole point of it was to write about whatever the fuck you wanted. Speaking of fuck, my housemate was just rocking the ceiling pretty hard. I did, infact, need to reach for the pillow...

Holy shit. Totally going to get my Stargate DVDs signed. WIN! -
Well what me and my mates did one time was get a single room between 4 of us =p. That split the cost quite nicely. I might need a place to stay actually, unless we go for a tent in the middle of a park, which could be awesome.

Lol not entirely true, my GF wears my Street Fighter tee from time to time...when she needs a sweat rag after the gym =p.

Whats going on?
-
See, now I'm a complete Disney whore, but I'll actually listen to the good stuff, like A Whole New World, or Hakuna Fuggin Matata. This new shit be whack yo.

Seems like the usual over emotional ballad about unrequited love to me. Oh...cue rain soaked rock guitar climax... Iconic I swear, Mastodon must have some kinda ghost writers, just been looking at that huge essay they did concerning Crack The Skye, and then watched a video interview where they all sound like retards, and I can't fucking understand the disparity between their music and their personalities. Makes fuck all sense.

I'm just bored

This thread fills me with rage, I come here every so often hoping to find a worthwhile reccommendation (in my infinite lazyness and inability to actually discover for myself) from the few members who actually seem to find it worthwhile peruse the periphery of musical awareness, but every time I'm here all I seem to see is infinite repititions of "Girls Aloud," "Tori Amos" The Yeah Yeah FUCKING Yeahs. Yes. Alright, we are all aware of the existance of said bands. Move on. A reccommendation does not have to be to me in person, I like to cleanse my palate from time to time with whatever is flung my way, why, it was from this very thread that I got reccommendations to give a listen to Mogwai and Battles for example. But anyway, that, of course, was before the time that this thread got afflicted with aspergers (yes, in this metaphor, you are, infact, aspergers. You know who you are), with your fairly abnormal ability to fill almost 500 pages with the same thing. So. I propose some sort of revolution. A martial law if you will. If you have nothing to say, I will personally come in here and defecate on you for no other reason than my own enjoyment. And perhaps because I enjoy being both the perpetrator and onlooker to humiliation. I'm actually in a good mood today.

The amount of times the words "Girls Aloud" have been repeated in this thread, far outweigh the value of the musical monotony they refer to. Basically...go look for new music (fairly simple...Spotify or Last Fm should give you decent artist reccommendations...and if not you could try and give a listen to something that you're completely ignorant of) listen to it, write your impressions, and wait for somebody to respond. Yes, I know it requires effort, but at least it means you won't be stuck listening to what will effectively be filling the musical landfill in the near future.

Giant who cares?

Anyone like Deerhoof? Love Deerhoof.

So fucking fantastic. Doesn't really need a descriptor, anyone who listens will probably "get it."
