And so.
Foreign money is great, I got 4000 Koruna for £100, that's like well weird. I have 1000 for the 3 full days I'm there and 500 Monday and Friday. How organised is that? And cause it's Prague I'll be organised in a 4 star hotel. I'm going with the cousin next year, we've vowed to stay in the Hilton, just because it's the Hilton.
I am a geek.
And apparently I'm also addicted to iTunes. My indie/no-to-downloads stance has been greatly compromised.
I still don't like downloads, let that be assured. I would glady buy the CDs if I could afford them. But at the moment, I cannot. So, sue me.
Also, I bought
Oh, Inverted World LP by The Shins yesterday, it's mellow and nice. At least 2 of the songs were used by Zach Braff on Garden State, which is a mellow and nice movie. So that's that.
Folks are back tonight. Solitude and privacy: 3 hours to death.

Bad Company
Was a really shit film.
That's more or less all I have to say. After the recent
TraGic developments, I've hit a creative slump. Which is somewhat bollocks. I have a wonderful ideas for the comic, but I just can't bring it to the epic story I know it can be because I can't script it. Bollocks. If I can't motivate myself to write and draw my comic, then how could I motivate myself to write a fucking essay?
Jesus.
Fuck, this is like a joy
I want you all to open your media players and go to the Open Url bit (Windows Media Players press Ctrl+U), then copy and paste this address:
http://movies26.enwhore.com/cool_optical_illusion.wmv. Clicking the link should do it, but you never know.
Watch the video and follow the instructions. For those who think I'm being mean to y'all, you watch this crazy optical illusion for a minute, and red letters telling you to look away now. I personally recommend you look at your hand.
The results are fucking freaky. It's like your hand is moving. I also tried watching the news (wobbly newsreaders) and some houseplants (dancing flowers).
The effect doesn't last very long, so watch it again and again and again. Remember - always watch it on full screen (Alt+Enter) and don't blink after you watch it or you'll lose the effect.
Or, you know, try hallucinogenic drugs. This one's free and legal, much like myself.

If anyone can think of a better thing to do than to slaughter Russel Brand violently, speak now or forever hold thy peace.
Very exciting, yet thoroughly TraGic developments to come?

Linkfest
Up on the
Links page you'll find a link for the exemplary
Questionable Content. It's like a webcomic soap opera, articulately written and beautifully (yet digitally) drawn. Well worth a look, but start with the first comic and work forwards, it's story led.
Admittedly, I was told about this ages ago by Catherine, but given my daily routine of 4 comics already I felt in unprudent to check out another one.
How wrong I was, check it out.
Reasons to be miserable
I drink 4 litres, on average, of Diet Coke a day (though due to the current level of poverty it's decreased by 50%), which will both kill me and destroy my teeth. Probably simultaneously.
I am in straits (though not dire) as to whether or not to return to uni. I have friends who are telling me to go for uni, friends telling me to quit, friends telling me they'll support me what I want, but the fact that I don't know what I want in any way is haunting me somewhat. If I do go to uni, I won't get my loan until later, the app's not even gone through yet, so the LEA person told me today, which means that the rent I've got to pay on the 2nd of September will go unpaid, and leave me in a somewhat homeless situation. I can't find anyone to employ me which doesn't help, and I'm thoroughly unhappy with 90% of my life at this time.
And now I'm thirsty.

Thank fuck for that
I can take my mobile phone on the plane to Prague in a few weeks! Man, I thought I'd be lost without my music. Let's hope the powers that be stretch to my notebook and pen.
Good news, what?
In other news, I feel so fucking horrible I want to die.
More on that story later.
