Last school screening of the term! I love me some Vittorio De Sica, but let’s hope I stay awake, eh?

Elbow

“We kissed like we invented it”

I was going to say, “Favourite Elbow song!” but I really can’t narrow something like that down to one. All the same, this is one of my favourites.

productivity

So as far as the list of things I had to get done today went, I actually got pretty far on it.

I didn’t glean for quotes for my pop cinema paper but that’s OK because I have a full two days extra for that paper than I do for the theory and documentary papers. I didn’t get either outline done, but I can whip those up in a snap at Coffee Culture tomorrow while waiting for my friend to meet me. Or on the bus. Whatever.

Tomorrow entails watching Umberto D in class, going to CC to meet up with my girlfriend, whipping home then ditching again to pick up Little Sis from school, going to work, coming home for dinner and then cracking down and writing that damn theory paper. Once-and-for-all.

Cheers!

I have a suspiciously low list of people I am following.

Either I’m more of a snob than I realized, or I’m not fully engaging in Tumblr.

Most of the actual people I follow (as in, not fuckyeah______’s) are people I have actually met in real life.

I think I’d like to keep it that way. (Not that I’m unfollowing anybody I haven’t met, there’s some way cool people I follow that are faraway).

Also I feel horribly bad un-following people, so if I don’t follow a lot of people in the first place, I won’t have that problem.

And I couldn’t give a flip about Tumblarity, so I don’t care that I have (what must be) relatively few followers. What I like about my Tumblog is that it is me, through and through. I’m not going to change that to raise some arbitrary number for a day.

List of unfollowed people with reasons

lautrevalse:

1. Was annoying

2. Never blogged

3. Was annoying

4. Had fan posts about the Jonas brothers

5. Never updated

6. Was annoying

7. Was a whore. A new category! I got sick of her posts about casual sex and things she posted that ‘gave her a tingle between her legs’. Hmm, I wonder if that tingle is something that a doctor should take care of.

Oooh, you’re funny with a dash of cruel and a fume of crass, and that’s why I won’t unfollow you.

This may be my dream house/cottage.
Probably because it looks like Bertie Wooster vacations here when he visits the country.

Absolutely he does, look at those hats!

And I just realized there’s even a piano for him to play. If I win the lottery I will find this place, hire a Jeeves and live the dream.

I was going to say, “For the right price I’d dress up as Jeeves and dispense clever criticisms and advice,” but I’d far rather have a Jeeves of my own than try to live up to such an impossible standard.

tumblrity just dropped like 20 points

If Tumblr’s taught me one thing, its to pay no attention to tumblarity.

I'm reading about a Japanese musician

lautrevalse:

Called ‘Merzbow’. I’ve never heard about him before, but he is extremely prolific, releasing 200 albums since 1980. I listened one of his albums this evening, ‘Pigeons’. It’s an entry in his 13-disc album (yes, 13 disc) called 13 Japanese birds.

The common opinion of this man is that he makes noise and his music is completely uncreative and somehow unimportant. You can decide.

Yeah…its not my cuppa

Nor mine, but people who try and declare ‘not music’ and ‘not artistic’ have little understanding of artistic thought and licence.

Dang those people anyhow.
