The Amalekite vs Our Man in Cappadocia
CRY GOD FOR HARRY, ENGLAND AND THAT BLOKE FROM THAT PLACE WHAT IS NOW IN JEWLAND
An ice cream van just drove past my window, sounding out its rich chimes with hearty English cheer. Sumer Is Icumen In.
In recent weeks, I felt the need to start posting here again and thought the day we celebrate that most holy dragon-slayer from a nebulous location in Central Asia was as good a day as any to embark. I won't bore you with the past four hundred days of my life; instead I'll just bore you with a brief list of sad shit that happened to me not long ago. Now watch this drive:
- I've been unemployed since the beginning of the year when Borders UK died an extremely foreseeable and well-deserved death (got some nice work experience coming up though - keep it under your hat).
- My old laptop having served me faithfully for almost six years finally bought the farm and my new one suffered a hard drive failure three months in.
- Whilst my new laptop was under repair, my Xbox took on the ring of crimson death right when I was so near the end of both Assassin's Creed 2 and Bioshock 2.
- So it's not all good news at my end, chaps.
- On the cinema front, I wasn't quick enough to bag tickets to the Four Lions preview at the NFT (I had some doubts about the project one but the trailer has put those to rest). I did patronage their Paul Newman season, however, and I might go to that new Mamoru Oshii film tonight if I can be even remotely bothered.
- That's enough bullet points for now, I think.
FINAL FOUGHT:
The great thing about YouTube is that you can often catch up with old shows you haven't seen in ages. The bad thing about this is these shows were often a lot better when you were a lot stupider. Case in point: Captain Butler. Great opening theme. Decent premise. Decent cast. Duff script with no jokes. The one with Nelson is probably the best of the lot and it's still fucking shit.
UPDATE: Opening Theme.
That's that then. Now I've got to go back and read all the ghastly rubbish you lot have been coughing up over the past year. Toodle-fucking-oo.
