30 Days of Night: A Review

Utter utter shit. Not scary, not gory, not anything that constitutes a horror movie. I'll whittle down the problems into some bullet points.

- The story is driven by one of the characters doing something stupid that gets themselves killed. This device is then repeated unitl the film ends.

- The survivors of the intial massacre go and hide...

Working in a supermarket I am very aware that selling booze or smokes to the underaged leads to terrible consequences. However it seem retailers have become totally paranoid. Went to the local off license to get a pack of cigars (yes i know I've quit, but goddammit sometimes its the only thing that'll make the day a bit less rubbish). I ask for a pack...

Note to Brain:

Dreams were I am threatened with being stabbed are completely out of order. I thought we went over this with the whole "zombie nightmares are to be discontinued" discussion. To clarify any dream that results in me having to wake up in a state of panic is off limits.

This also includes morbid thoughts of my eventual demise. Just cut that shit...

Listening to Orbital while driving is a bit like playing Wipeout, only without the speed or excitement. There's no rocket pickups either which makes blasting slow ass motherfuckers off the road almost impossible. Why do people drive so slowly? Why wouldn't you want to get to your destination as quick as possible? Driving is pretty boring most of the time so why prolong it?

Motorways...

I just got done re - watching "High Fidelity". It was a completely random choice from my excessive DVD collection. My brain thought "Cusack, Black, jokes. That'll tide you over until you decide to got to sleep". Instead I watched the whole damn thing (nevermind I've been up since 0630, and its currently 0230 the next day). What a great movie! Obviously I know its...

Its 2am, I've just got back from a gig in Manchester. I have to be in work at 7am. its not entirely unlikely I wont be there. Unsurprisingly I'm not that bothered.

More to come later no doubt.

Title card: Several hours later.

Disappointingly I did go to work, all cos I would of felt like a cock for making other people do my job....

I bought a lava lamp today. I was actually in the market for a proper lamp, but instead I was swayed by the novelty of melted wax in suspension. Unfortunately it provides very little illumination but does help heat the room due to it becoming warmer than you'd imagine. I've tried to justify the purchase cos it was only a fiver. The flipside is that...

I'm a big fan of modified cars, and today I saw an absolute classic. It had a great paint job, tinted windows, a fantastic set of rims and a cool spoiler. The best bit however is the model of car that had been tricked out, a Renault Espace. Thats right a crappy MPV riced up to the nines. i wish I had the enough disposable...

Nothing of interest happened today. Apart from the dude on Mastermind who's specialist subject was "The Adventures of Asterix", you sir are a fucking star. If I were going on that show I'd pick "Firefly" as my subject, cos its freakin ace and there's only half a season of episodes. Therefore not that much to remember. Of course the researchers would probably geek out and...

Today has been a resounding success. I've had to go to work (and technically still am working) but while on my break I was discussing with Marty993 if Sir Ian McKellan likes to wear his Magneto costume while doing man love. Or if he wonders around asking people if they would like to see his other shiny purple helmet. Once again we plumbed the depths...

I hate whining, I hate people bitching about nothing. I often feel like organising a trip to Darfor for these people to see what actual problems are. Yeah your job sucks, but at least no ones trying to kill you for some trivial bullshit.

Yet sometimes I just want to splurge the frustrations in my head. WAHHHH1 I hate my job. BOOHOO I have no...

This has been putting a big dumb smile on my face all week.


Rest of the album is ace too.
