This show fails so hard. Gutted I only realised this on the second to last episode. Ugh.

Getting paid to stop smoking - controversy?
The Bard replied to Raining_again's topic in General Chit Chat
It's not that hard to quit smoking, so I don't think anyone who doesn't have the volition to quit on their own terms is just gonna pocket the money and start again when the program terminates. -
This song is so rad:

Went to see my friend Scott in between essay preparation, and ended up drinking way too much and then doing a bong hit from this weird device that had 4 chambers filled with water. It was one of the most insane looking pieces of paraphernalia I've ever seen. Nargh, can't concentrate now, so I think I'm gonna spend the day moping in my room and watching TV. Wish someone I knew was online so I could have a game of something on XBL. But alas, none of my bonehead uni mates really play many videogames. Also looking forward to harassing people at the Meet (which most likely will translate into sitting by a tree, by myself, moping for a bit and then leaving.) Oh noes.

It started with For Whom The Bell Tolls. Everything was gonna be downhill from that point.

That was my facebook profile picture a while ago. Also I POSTED IT HERE BEFORE JOO SO I ARE WINRAR.

Saturday Night Wrist is secretly the best shoegaze album ever.

Well, he's old enough to go. Its a shame, he was a bit of a legend.

This song just cuts the bullshit and gets to the soaring chorus in an instant. Well gooooood.

Punisher 8.5 and Pineapple Express 4. Wow. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that Battlefield Earth is your favourite film of all time.

Mutual Exclusivity No offence; If LoTR was a person, I'd tell it to eat a dick. Anyway; I've read "Baumgartner's Bombay," which was great, although I won't say more here due to the fact that I have to write a damn essay on it. Wholly depressing; Baumgartner is one of the most pathetic characters in fiction. At the moment I'm reading "This Is Your Brain on Music," by Daniel Levitin, which is a sort of exposition of all the reason that music affects us as organisms, as well as the evolutionary implications of this etc. Comes off kinda bland to be fairly honest, but I'm only about 50 pages in so far anyway. Will be back with impressions once I've finished it.

Witness the birth of the hawk: This was a bad mistake.

I've been fussing over this unnecessarily annoying introduction for a Postcolonial Lit essay, for which I stupidly chose the theme of the interplay between English and other languages, and I need someone who actually sees the words for what they are, rather than just a load of meaningless black marks on a page as I do after staring at them for the best part of an hour, to read it for me and tell me if it makes any damn sense. Any takers?

What the hell, someone just added An Ending (Ascent) by Brian Eno. I was just thinking that the damn playlist could use some ambiance in the form of The Big Ship or Sombre Reptiles, but An Ending is a good call too. Eerie though.

My new favourite word is; Homunculus

Maybe because you use controllers for 99% of games and thus it is native to you. Nothing a little practice wont fix.

I actually disagree with everything you've said in that post. A more expensive guitar did make me a better guitar player, and buying an arcade stick was what make me able to play Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike with a good level of skill. Also; if you watch Evo, or any of the American East Coast/ West Coast tournaments (or Street Fighter documentary "I got next") you will not see a single person using a standard pad. Because using a pad, and being proficient in the game's language are mutually exclusive. Factoid.

Without Magic (capital M) there would be a lot less neckbeards in the world. I just don't have the patience tbh.

I had a conversation with some homely lookin' girl, which was interesting, but ended abruptly when I told her I was in JLS. She said she was American, so I thought it was worth a shot. Also, I saw boob which was rad.

Chatroulette face Chatroulette expression when encountered by phallus.

Chatroulette gives me the impression that fit girls do not like my face, but masturbating afro-carribean men with clown makeup do...

This is music... This is your brain on music *eggs frying* Spent the entire day getting high on ambient electronic choonage. Mostly Brian Eno, Kraftwerk, Aphex, with a splash of Rotting Christ thrown in. It's been so so long since I've had a day consisting of nothing but listening to music, having something of a renewal of enthusiasm.
