Somewhere could not have been any more...
Painfully vague. Woefully paced. Meaningless shots (or are they?…yes, they fucking are). WHY WAS MONEY SPENT ON THIS? WHY WAS THIS DISTRIBUTED EVERYWHERE? SOFIA WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? Go back to Tokyo. Please. Don’t try and relive the subtleties of that film, but set in L.A. It didn’t work. Father/daughter relationship that is extremely flawed, set to the backdrop of a Hollywood...

That was gold.
That was gold.

Currently Reading: American Psycho by Bret Easton...
Holy shitballs or other applicable expression of exasperation uncommon to regular viewers of this program.
This is one of the most uncomfortable reading experiences I’ve ever had. It started off so funny and easy to read and now, about halfway through, hyper-violence takes over. Brutal, awful violence. It’s making the movie adaptation look like Barney the Dinosaur.

Concerts
I should have written this last week but, oh well.
I’ve been to two concerts this year. Both at the same venue, both buzzbands (of a sort) and with wildly different reactions to each. The New Pornographers - They were incredible. So good live, they looked like they were having as much fun onstage as we were in the crowd, they were funny, talented and played requests. Such a great show that...

Collaborating in creative writing sucks. A lot.
Just quietly. Originally, I thought that I would have problems with a lot of people working on a script because I would want to write it all and as much as I feel that sometimes, it’s (can it’s be “it has” and if not, is there any abbreviation for that?) because I’m sort of being forced to write most of it. Not by their intention, they aren’t forcing me to write...

HAILSTORM
My suburb is being bombarded with hail. This is extremely unusual for where I live.
It is intense. Just like a double rainbow but a whole lot scarier.

Today I watched 4 movies.
RiP: A Remix Manifesto - entertaining and interesting doco that focused on one of my favourite things, mash-up music
Hedwig and the Angry Inch - fantastic at times, dragged on at times, overall a fun movie with some great songs
Kick-Ass (rewatched) - didn’t hold up as well as I hoped it would on second watch, felt kind of empty by the end of it
The Lady Vanishes - British-era Hitchcock....

Recent Things.
Today I started writing a Firesign Theatre-inspired radioplay that I will probably record with some people early next year. It’s weird, but I think it’s pretty funny.
Also on the writing front, I’m working on a college revue at university and that’s coming along nicely.
I’m also writing a play that is being performed at Sydney Uni around May next year. So, no...
Just realised how little I use my Tumblr now.
This must change. Prepare for ponderings.
Off the top of my head and very vague...Thoughts?
