South Park

Now then now then, this has been quite a turn around for me personally. I can remember watching South Park with my best mate in year five laughing because the characters said 'Fuck' and 'bastard' a lot. I even did my talk on South Park in year 7, I loved that friggin show. But then I fell out of love with it. Why? Well it got a bit rubbish, and it got put on at around half midnight on a thursday and I really couldn't be bothered to continue to care about it.

However, the greatness of being a lazy student I looked upon the new series of South Park (now into it's eleventh for crimenys sake!) and found myself laughing. Lots. I looked back on older episodes and found that yes, while there's swearing and crude jokes there's also a hell of a lot of intellegant script writing, in their own way South Park creaters Matt and Trey have covered climate change numerous times...without ever having to reference it directly. They're very smart, and more importantly inventive and funny. Satire is a hell of a tool and in the current infrastructure of American media it's one of the only tools left with which to sneak agendas in under the radar, and they do it superbly.

See as many episodes as takes your fancy here

And on a side note, apparently this is what I'd look like if I were from South Park

Tattie bye!

Underneath the covers.

I'd rather be in bed.

But I have work to do, but before I do I'll get my internetting out of the way...I mean you have to don't you? You do your internet rounds to make sure that no one desperatly wants to talk to you before you plow in and cut yourself off from the world? Right? It's not just me?

I think it probably isn't just me, but more than likely it's me and a very low percentage of people.

Well today I shall be listening to Anthony and the Johnsons whilst working, as someone just bad mouthed 'them' as being a 'bit of a fad'. Firstly it's a him and hired chello, violin, brass and drum monkeys and secondly he's lovely.

Fistful of love shall have some part to play at my wedding, even if I have to sing it in my head. My head is a very effective Mp3 player, I've got at least 50gb up there.

Love and misses.

Worrying

Mind blanks and total loss of logic and reason. Anxiety and over emotion when confronted by situations involving information and writing.

I worry.

Christmas time in London, it took a while.

Oh and in breaking spoiler news....

Kyle did suck Cartman's balls.

It's possibly the best cartoon on the box right now.

By box I mean the internet.

Arrested Development



Quite honestly the funniest American Tv show in the last 10 years? Or Ever?

The acto who played Job was reccently in Blades of Glory, whilst the actor who played George Michael was in the awsomely funny SuperBad over the summer, and also stars the fantastic stand up David Cross.

I AM A LINK

Oh as for Soulwax

I don't think I was drunk enough, or on E.

I think that marred my evening, that and I went and did my knee in again, which killed, someone trod on my foot and another person barged me right on the knee joint, queue a "click clonk" noise from my knee joint and shooting pains going to my calf and thigh. Weak.

If it weren't for the fact that Soulwax themselves were....dull, and didn't even play E-talking...sigh and then 2 many Djs didn't come on till half 3 in the morning by which time I was crippled, skint (3.80 for aq Bud, the wateryist of all watery american beer) and just plain tired. Plus people kept on smoking into my face.

In better news it's only a week and a few days till Biffy, and I'm currently on a wave of loving them so that gig will be filled with much joy.

Time Traveller's Wife

I am reading this again, because I started thinking about it. It's a beautiful if rather girly read. All about love and being away from the person you want to be with and doing everything possible to stay in the here and now. It makes me sad and happy in equal measure.

"Clare, I want to tell you, again, I love you. Our love has been the thread through the labyrinth, the net under the high-wire walker, the only real thing in this strange life of mine that I could ever trust. Tonight I feel that my love for you has more density in this world than I do, myself: as though it could linger on after me and surround you, keep you, hold you."

Buy it, I promise you'll love it.
