Like
1. Television. My lost love! I’ve watched so much CSI (along with like… so many other programmes). Also, good way to bond with new flatmates? Channel 4’s Sex Show.
2. Expo 86. Great album. Also, I was at Expo 86, whilst in my mother’s uterus. Fact.
3. How adverts have to put the actual statistic in fine print when they make bold claims. What makes this so hilarious is that most of the time the stats are not at all impressive. ie: 57% of 1153 women surveyed. Especially great when viewed in a cinema.
4. Vegetarianism. Been on this train without falter for like… five months now? Lovely. It makes my body feel gooood.
5. Gainsbourg. Very clever, creative film; much more than an ordinary biopic. More biopics should approach narrative like this: focusing on a few eras in Gainsbourg’s life, and jumping between them seamlessly, it covers significant ground without trying to show us everything. And it’s not pretending to be the truth. The actors are fantastic, and eerie dead-ringers for those they portray too. Although this is not mandatory for a biopic, it definitely helps. Great film all around. Also, Jane Birkin = the coolest.
Bonus: Youtube Gainsbourg and Whitney Houston on French TV from the 80s. Hilarious.
6. Said the Whale. The latest band added to heavy rotation on my iPod. Islands Disappear is fantastic.
7. Glasgow Film Theatre, Biblocafe, Grassroots Organic, Glasgow Vintage, Tinderbox, and Thai Siam. You are my favourite places in Glasgow thus far.
8. Film archiving. That’s right, I love it. I want to stay on placement forever! Or, you know, get paid to take care of film. SOMEONE HIRE ME PLEASE!
Dislike
1. Television. Wow, you make my productivity levels even lower then normal. Also, advertising has effectively gotten worse since I last watched TV on a regular basis.
2. BP Oil. This goes without saying, and frankly I should probably just write an entire post about it, but seriously. Billions of dollars to clean up the spill and they’re still planning another offshore drilling sight. And like… it took them fucking long enough to even stop the leak… and they’re not even sure it’s fully sealed! Like how many times can we fuck with Mother Earth before she stops forgiving us? Fuckers.
3. When hot pepper juice remains on my hands and burns my eyes hours after consuming the peppers, and in spite of the fact that I’ve washed my hands like five times.
4. Shoes. Why is it so hard to find pairs of you that don’t hurt me in some way? WHY?
5. When someone sits opposite you on the train and stares at you the ENTIRE TIME. It makes an 11 minute journey feel much, much longer.
6. Places that charge for wifi. This is just cruel, and sometimes I am desperate.
7. When buttons fall off and you don't have a needle and thread. Life is hard.
Dissertations. In theory. It’s not like I’ve written one yet or anything. Or started. Uggggggh.
