I'm going to have to lay off SG for the next month; I have 13500 words of assignments to research and write, and two presentations. I think I can feel a depression coming on.

That is a lot of work. Uni stuff is it?

Went mad in the bookshop yesterday and spent 45:

A Beginners Guide to Fidel Castro,
Selected Works of Subcomandante Marcos,
Stupid White Men, by Michael Moore
Che Guevara, by Jon Lee Andresonn

Who says I'm a leftie?

I have an absolute shitload of work to do in the next four weeks:

A presentation with 3000 word report on Immigration and Asylum,
A presentation with 1500 words on the decline in electoral turnout,
3000 words on the media's reporting of the Troubles in Northern Ireland,
1500 words on Malthus,
1500 words on Gladstone,
and 1500 words on US - Cuban relations.

Hmm. Better...

Your comment on the war thread is so right...! But how could you tell a member of SG staff that he is a cretin ?
He doesn't know half the story about the Greenpeace boat for example. And Americans tend to forget they all are European offspring. Well, their grand-parents slaughtered the real Americans...

I've been growing a beard this week. There are few sights more ridiculous than a man with weak facial hair trying to grow a beard.

Last week my starter motor broke. This week the indicator switch fell off. I maintain that it was a bargain buy.

I was awoken the other night by something biting my ankle. It itched like fuck and now it bleeds...

Unusual pic that. Nice pipe though smile

Revenge of Billy the Kid is a class film, very odd though. It doesnt compare to Braindead though, Braindead has to be one of the funniest gore comedies I've seen. And the lawnmower massacre at the end...brilliant. Nearly put me off my spaggetti on toast smile
maelwys:
The scene in Braindead was custard I think.

I think working for Dr Martens has given me a female boot fetish. Constant lacing up and fitting girls for knee length black leather boots has finally perverted my already fragile mind.

I love girls in Dr. Martens. You are damn lucky.

Red background is up, follow the same link above. Had it done 3 days ago but lost my net connection and then left town for a few days. Finding a shade of red that doesn't look f'ed up next to human skin wasn't easy. Hope you likey!

My cousin has just had his kneecaps smashed with a samurai sword.

I'm overjoyed!

He undoubtedly deserved it.


Currently listening to Van Morrison's rendition of It's All Over Now Baby Blue as featured on the Girl, Interrupted soundtrack.

There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder
Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in
The rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on the concrete
On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain
Aerial held high, calling "come on thunder, come on thunder"

Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear...

My boots sqeak and it gets on my tits.
They cost 100 six years ago, top of the range type gore-tex, and I can't wear them because one of them sounds as if there's a dying mouse beneath the sole. Worse things happen at sea, as they say.

My car needs a new starter. I suppose I shouldn't complain, its 37 years old.

I've lost...

"We lived many lives in those whirling campaigns, never sparing ourselves; yet when we achieved and the new world dawned, the old men came out again and took our victory to re-make in the likeness of the former world they knew. Youth could win, but had not learned to keep: and was pitiably weak against age. We stammered that we had worked for a new...

hahaha! love the new pic! i will enjoy london to its fullest. too bad you can't make it down for nic's show, i think it's going to be lots of fun. if it's not too expensive i might try to go to massage therapy school there. who knows. that's so far into the future for me right now...usually the only plans i make that seem to work out for me are the ones made no more than two months in advance. biggrin

Yeah, I've got caught with heavy going books before. I read them in stages between something more easy going, like Terry Pratchett. That way I get a few days break to absorb everything

I want to do something with my life. I want to travel, see different cultures. Help people. Fight the government in Burma. Anything.

Anything but spend the next 40 years sat at a desk in a fucking office. I know I'd end up killing myself. I worked in an office for a day; that was enough. The prospect of spending my life working in this...

I think I'm becoming a communist. I keep getting urges to revolt against the capitalist oppressors in the newsagent's shop.

42p?!!!!! FOR A MARSBAR?!!!!!! Inflation certainly isn't that much... but I have noticed how they're constantly uping the prices on chocolate + soft drinks on the sly frown

Rip-off places indeed. Late night petrol stations are the worst though, paying 80p for a bloody coke.

"Now I can look at you in peace, I don't eat you any more"

Franz Kafka

I've been vegetarian for about two months, and I really can't see myself ever eating meat again. The very thought of it makes me feel ill.

When I was in Morocco I (accidentally) bought something similar but I forgot how to fold it and it's now the most expensive bright yellow cloth I own. Never even got a photo of myself in full desert garb on the camel.

Forgot to say ta for reading what I wrote (and agreeing is good too), nice change from banging my head against a brick wall / shouting into the void.

i wouldn't be surprised if gandhi did forgive his killer. i'm afraid i don't know too much about him, either. but i'm fairly certain that gandhi's family was one of the most vocal groups when it came to protesting the execution of gandhi's murderer.
