I Have To Return Some Videotapes

All it takes is watching a few DVDs and a little thought about the future and things start getting fucking weird. I thought I'd kick off the evening's proceedings with another viewing of American Psycho seeing as it's a thoroughly enjoyable film. Quite why I chose the film isn't very clear to me at the moment, as I watched the film from about 5am at Hatfest recently. I even exceeded safe watching at Hatfest as I started watching the film from the start after getting about halfway through thanks to a short interlude of drunken discussion on classic literature with Rory (this is quite obviously not my own fabricated review of a band's non-existant first gig, so I'm not making this shit up here)(I hope that revelation didn't make things 'too real' for you)

So basically- after that horrible paragraph- I watched American Psycho AGAIN and found it really entertaining. Now I'm repeating myself, anyway, after this I made the stupid, stupid decision to go onto MSN and start talking shit to whoever would listen (so that's Sam, then) which culminated in my further derision of my degree course. I'll quote you the gold below.

Meat Stylus www.extarscube.com says:
example, i can quite clearly remember reading a leonard cohen poetry book, article on the vietnam war, chapter of a book talking about types of nuclear weapons, a book discussing david lynch's films, a book about the guys who made doom and a book i later bought about the culture of heavy metal. none of that helped further my degree but i feel more intelligent as a result of it. that's one thing which annoys me about history

One thing, there are many more I won't bore you with. This is my blog for goodness sake, not some dump for my narcissistic and arogant rants.

Whilst I'm making this update as lazy and esoteric as possible, I might as well quote some bits of MSN conversations I thought about quoting a few weeks ago. You never know, I might go off on such a long tangent that I struggle to remember what exactly I started writing this about anyway. I'm going to try and add bits into these to make them in some way understandable, I must say on some of them I'm having trouble understanding myself. I hope you find these amusing.

[01:28:14] Meat Stylus : i love mispelling dictionary [on Google] and getting the link anyway, that's progress

[01:33:13] Meat Stylus : how about a cocaine mini game where you have to guide the twitching coke addict's nose across the line using all your arcade skills?
[01:33:18] Meat Stylus : i should be working for nintendo
[01:33:36] one thousand: haha
[01:33:37] Meat Stylus : try to ignore this, i'm getting quotes for my blog update



[00:37:27] Meat Stylus : there's some disembowled rodent strewn across the lawn, i'm taking this as a sign that the cats are hungry

[16:10:46] Meat Stylus : i totally need a better mic

[23:50:47] Meat Stylus : i can remember meeting a philosophy student in year one, he was a twat

And on that controversial note I think I'll go back to talking about what it was I started on; how tonight started getting 'weird'. Well after my MSN session I sat at the computer thinking what I could possibly do at this time . It was about 2:20am and I totally wasn't going to be going to sleep for a while thanks to the Snickers icecream bars- which rock. I thought 'Golly josh! I could do a Blog update. What a splendid idea!', however as it became rapidly clear it wasn't such a splendid idea as I didn't have much to talk about I started looking out the window and then I noticed a light in the night sky. Don't worry this isn't some moment of realisation where Jesus came down and touched my soul, lighting the way ahead for me (more on that later). I soon noticed this light was moving, so was probably a plane or a helicopter. If it was a helicopter, it was probably the police chasing some would be Tommy Vercetti, so I thought I'd keep watching, then I noticed a strange effect which looked like this light was sucking small nearby clouds into it. At this point I realised how people can mistake things in the night sky for UFOs, it did look quite strange. Anyway, it was probably just some optical effect which whilst undoubtedly mundane in explanation was sufficiently weird for me to put my typing hat on and start this blog update.
With the topic of discussion closed I should end this update. But how? I could end it with another MSN quote, but that would suck, so I'll end it with an American Psycho quote. That is of course quite a hard task, since virtually everything said in the movie is worth quoting, Still, pretty lazy but it brings things full circle nicely, don't you think?
