not for no reason do they call this a wasteland

ah, monopoly.
first it pulls you together, then it tears you apart.

today i went to the scottish national gallery of modern art and laughed at the damien hirsts. the best bit, though, was the "landform" outside, which apparently you are allowed to play on. me and ruairi didn't, mostly because we were very hungover and wanted some glucose to stop

i know that you are sort of into computer games (and you are a GIRL! *falls over*), but i don't know if you've ever played any of the silent hill games? because this photo reminds me of them. imagine him walking slowly and emotionlessly towards and then into the water, only... creepier. that's the sort of thing it makes me think of. it's awesome.

to save me replying to your journal too, and also because, like, nine million people have already replied there, your photos that are in that coffee shop are incredible.* the only thing more incredible than them is the fact that i guessed the second one was from the museum before i clicked it and saw the filename (i spend an inordinate amount of time there, wandering around, not really looking at anything). let's have a collective YAY! for edinburgh's many world-class museums and art galleries!

* they remind me of this exhibition i saw by the photographer yann-arthus bertrand, called "earth from the air". your photos are like his, only zoomed in a hundred million times. http://www.earthfromtheair.com/

wow i wrote a lot there

hell yeah. i like comix and porn too... well kind of. i like to think of myself as just a great big geek. my other dream man is jason lee. er, anyway, i have not played silent hill, but have seen don playing them so i think i know what you mean. also he has the soundtracks and they are some of the best music for any game EVAR!

YAY I do love that museum and especially that fishy pool it makes me happy and calm. However, one of my all time favourite bits of the museum is currently missing which is Skeletons. It SAYS they're building it a new home, I just hope it's back and awesomer than ever soon. Other highlights of the museum include Ivy Wu gallery (china korea japan upstairs), jewellery, many stuffed animals, a bit of ship that says PRINCESS ALICE and weirdly enough the shop. it sells lots of cool things! like rhubarb rock and skipping ropes with cats on the ends and jelly sunflowers and 3d jigsaw triceratops and, yeah.
there used to also be a whale penis but I think it has gone. maybe it swam back to the sea to find its whale. it always did look a bit sad and dry.

*and wow, thank you for photo-love, that guy is really cool *proud*
