SGUK Rocks! I took part in their "Secret Santa" this year and got some amazing presents. Apparently you aren't supposed to "name and shame" your, erm...benefactor, but I have PMed them to thank them. I felt I needed to mark the occasion, though by writing a Blog about what I recieved.
I got two books, one being "Future Shocks" by Alan Moore.
Which I have been reading for the past couple of days. I have enjoyed it a lot, which after my extreme fondness for "V for Vendetta", I am not surprised in the slightest.
I also received JD Salinger's "For Esme-With Love and Squalor and Other Stories", which I haven't started yet, but I know will be awesome too, on account that for the past 14 years or so, "The Catcher in The Rye" has remained my all time favourite book. I love the fact that JD Salinger has remained in an adolescent strop with the world for all of his life. We need a Holden Caulfield to keep the rest of us sane.
When I received "with Love and Squalor" I knew I had heard that title before, somewhere else. Then I remembered that it was also the title of the best "We Are Scientists" album. "We Are Scientists" liked paying homage to cool stuff on that album. They also recorded a video for "This Scene Is Dead" which was a pastiche of the work of the artists; Gilbert and George whom I am somewhat of a fan of. I have never seen this video played on TV, which is a shame on account of it being so shit-hot, so I thought I would post a link to it here, so you can all appreciate it's wonder.
Anyways, I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season. It isn't that much fun for me, on account of me being an Atheist Vegan, but you know.....it is always cool to have time off work. I plan to spend the festive season sleeping and watching trashy TV (but not at the same time) I am particularly looking forward to the inevitable "kick-off" on Eastenders, which always cheers me up, becuase it makes my odd family look relativelly functional!
Anyways, signing off for now. I love you all.
