Lost Dream

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 12:41:53 GMT

I am bereft, lost in a maelstrom of anguish from which I may never emerge. The bachelor bungalow of my dreams has gone! I went to the estate agent web site where this house was listed in order to gaze wistfully at it, as has been my wont of late. But I was struck to my core with horror when I found that it was no longer there. Someone bought it – someone actually paid 300 grand for a house in Rotherham, and what’s more a house with only one floor! (Sigh). Well, I hope they enjoy their new home, for they will be living my dream.

Angelina Jolie as Cat Woman?

If this happens, then it could mean the end of movies as we know it; there would be no point in anyone making any flms ever again as this would be the ultimate movie. Angeline Jolie in a skin-tight rubber suit? COME ON PEOPLE!

Well at least he doesn't kiss her. He gets the chance, but he chooses to kiss a live octopus instead. Pervert!

...And as expected, the song is complete rubbish. You agree with me, right? RIGHT?

Do the people who make up these rules actually think them through before they put them into effect? or do they want the rest of the world to think they are bunch of complete loonies?

Megan Fox is a Star Wars Fan!

PHEW! I was beginning to worry that we didn't have anything in common.

Incidentally, in this picture she is wondering, "Oh where can I find a strong, handsome Jedi to help me carry my heavy i-Phone?"

To which I reply, "Hold on a minute, love, I'm just charging my light sabre."

WHAT????

Just when I thought the storylines in Prison Break couldn't get any more bizarre, I have just learned that the character of Sara Tancredi will be returning in in season 4. This would be quite an accomplishment bearing in mind that she had her head cut off in season 3:

I tried a bit of tidying again today. What was it that distracted me this time? The discovery of this long lost family photo. I'm the one forward left in the striped shirt:

I am selling my Girls Aloud picture disc of their single 'Love Machine':
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320275876642&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=011
I want to raise some money to get this...

...and this...
http://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=41515
It's okay, though; because I had the foresight to buy a second copy of this single when it first came out, which I am going to keep.

BTW, I'm sorry for putting up the web links in full. According to LJ there is an issue with Firefox 3 which they are working on. The only alternatives are to use HTML codes, (which I am not as familiar with as I ought to be), or use MS Explorer - I would rather eat fire ants for breakfast.

Long Lost Treasure

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 18:25:31 GMT

Once again, I made an attempt today to tidy or at least reduce my mountains of clutter. I began with the best of intentions, but those quickly evaporated, because the same thing happened as always happens; I got distracted. I have saved everything I have written since I was around 10 years old. I even have some stuff from when I was 8. Today I unearthed some stories that I wrote when I was around 15 or 16. One item really grabbed my attention. It was the first page of a script I tried to write. It was about a mad scientist who one day triumphs in his experiments to ignite a nuclear reaction inside a black pudding. He declares that his colleagues at the Snooty Inventors’ Club will soon be eating humble pie. But his assistant points out to him that the nuclear black pudding has blown up his house and incinerated all the money that the scientist had hidden under his mattress, which means he doesn’t have any capital to develop and market his invention. Undeterred, the scientist embarks on a mad moneymaking scheme. This involves breaking into a poultry farm, stealing some eggs and injecting them with a serum made from wolfs bane. This produces an army of werewolf turkeys which the scientist attempts to use to rob some banks, but things get out of hand and the monster turkeys run amuck. I have tons of stuff like this that I have completely forgotten about. I really must get all my notes into some kind of order some day.

Whatever!

There is something about this commercial that really irks me. It's trying too hard to be off the wall and edgy. It's aimed at a young audience, but it is so obviously the product of the mind of a 30-year-old. It's trying too hard to be off the wall and edgy, like MTV. But MTV has never been edgy. MTV is about as sharp as a sponge with rounded corners:

Your result for The Watchmen Personality Type Test...

Rorschach

You are extremely moral absolutist.

While you unwaveringly follow a strict moral code, you often fail to demonstrate the empathy needed to make a moral decision. You find institutional forms of order unsatisfactory and oppressive and believe that your uncompromisng standpoint somehow exempts you from accusations of wrong-doing.

While some might respect your individual and steadfast perspective, be prepared for the possibility that the practical majority might find your black and white moral code unnacceptable.

After seeing the WATCHMEN trailer today, I went hunting around for my copy of the graphic novel - you know, just to do a bit of revising. But I couldn't find it. I know I have it somewhere buried beneath all my mountains of clutter. Man, I am so untidy! I just can't bring myself to throw anything away, that's my problem. I will get around to tidying up one day, just as soon as I can afford to hire a fleet of refuse trucks and a civil engineer. In the mean time I will just have to order a brand new copy of WATCHMEN from Amazon... or download it from limewire, (shh, you didn't hear me say that).
