Packing Finds

I'm going home (from Uni) on Saturday so I'm busy packing (obviously not too busy to take time out to post this though). As always when packing I'm coming across loads of old good things that I've put away and forgotten about. The first here is a picture from the same time as the other pictures I posted from the end of school. It's one that Sarah took on a disposable camera, that explains the extreme blurriness, however the condition of the photo has gradually deteriorated since being in my possession. Sarah kindly sent me this picture when I moaned about missing it from the collection I posted.
Me in the arms of my good friend Celyn, both of us giving disturbing queer sly grins at the camera.

The next is a little cartoon I drew it captures someone's personality very well I think. So it's meaningful to them at least if not anyone else.
One figure stands knees slightly bend, hands on head looking down at a recently dropped spliff. He says Oh No. Another stands opposite leaning slightly back one hand on belly the other arm is halfway between a thigh slap and pointing.

March of Fuzz

A track by DJ Shadow and Zach de la Rocha 'March of Death'
I know I'm a little late on this one. I know I'm actually quite late because the website for the track looks like this.
So it's old I know. But I've only just come across it so to me it's new and exciting. Although the original website appears to be dead and one that looks as if it could be a suitable alternative is lacking a working link to the song, it appears that the track is available to download from DJ Shadow's site. If that link's not working (here is yet another alternative) I suggest you take a trip over to DJ Shadow's wibsite and see if it's still on the media player. I listened to it there first and cheekily got the other tracks of the playlist as well.
How I found out about this? Through an MP3 blog Ear Fuzz that just mentioned DJ Shadow and made me curious about him. If you go there now I recommend the tracks by Zalatnay Sarolta, that's the one with the crazy retro sleeve. If you miss it you can of course ask me for the tracks because I did download them.

Revolution Controller

I was so eating a cheese and pickle baguette right next to that phone box the other day. I tried to take a picture of it with my phone because it had a Microsoft error message on the screen. You see the Borders in the background, that's where I used a voucher to buy Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance.

Shit Shirts

I just realised why I don't wear shirts very often. They're really annoying when you're trying to wipe your arse.

Hyper Exploding Luxury

Oh my!
A cat flying through the air firing a sub-machine gun in the style of John Woo action cinema.
(Our cat's name is actually Chow Yun Cat, that picture is not my cat.)

I am suffering, suffering bad. A google image search for 'Exploding Face' found a nice painting that helpfully expresses how I feel most of the time that there is sunlight this time of year.
A painting of a skull with various forcefully extruding bloody face parts.

And er... if anyone wants to buy me a "It's summer, get drunk!" present. I suggest you get me a crate of Golden Promise from here.
I like that it comes with a free superhero t-shirt.

Grandmaster Pictures

You remember when Grandmaster Park visited Bournemouth. Of course you don't. But anyway, there are pictures from that event on the Bournemouth Taekwondo website and if you look really carefully you can see me in a couple of them.

Hay Photos

My mum has some new photos up from when we went camping in Hay. Have a look at them on her LomoHome.

Mighty Morphin' Beards


Now you see it.
Or of course it's very possible that you don't see it and all you are seeing is an error message. You could curse me for that, but I don't care (a lie, I do care, I'm just trying to be macho).

How Tartan Stole My Money

A pile of Asian DVDs released by Tartan
In case you were thinking "My! That's a lot of DVDs.", that image does not show all my Tartan DVDs, only the recent purchases.

Skim City

I saw Sin City tonight. I paid £5.60 for the cinema ticket. That's £5.60 with the student discount. A person who forgot their student card paid £6.80! Bloody England.
Another stub scan for evidence.
Sin City movie stub.
I liked the film, a lot. Out of the others I saw it with, one liked it, one was confused, one didn't like it and the other I don't know about. With regards to the fidelity approach I can only mention that I remember seeing Marv with his mother and talking about his gun more that occurred in the film and that I don't remember Kevin poking his head through the door at the beginning of the graphic novel. I could be wrong there, as I say, I don't remember. That's the fidelity approach though, a way I'm forced to look at the film after reading. As we all know the fidelity approach is no fair way to value a film, because it is a film, not a transcript.
Later tonight, or earlier this morning I got back my marks for me disgrace of a flash project. I passed. Just. 49% (40% being the pass threshold). Walking back from the building where I pick up the slip of paper with my mark on I saw a fox, just wandering around the university, like a student, only closer to the ground than usual. I tried to take a picture on my phone but it was useless because there was a pathetic amount of light available being some time after midnight. Another failed picture I tried to take on my phone today was of a Microsoft error message on a screen on a phone in a phone box. It always gives me a little smile to see those errors in public places. It means the computers aren't able to outsmart us... unless they're bluffing. Oh!

Lake of fire
Look it's me after I die. Yup, I'm definitely going for a swim in the lake of fire.
