Things that are broken...



To get the gripes out of the way first, here are the things that are broken in my life:

  • Bike. The bike was fixed then broke again quite quickly. (edit: my dad has fixed it)
  • Sewing machine. Well, it still works but i keep getting electric shocks from it. Nothing mental, just enough to give me a slight aversion to sewing machine needles.
  • Camera. Yes this thing is dead.
  • Memory card reader
  • (edit) I knew there were more things! Headphone set one (Sennheiser) - One ear functioning. Headphone set two (Boosted Sashimi cutest headphones ever) balances to the left or the right but scrambles when set in the middle. Thus can only use on a computer and not with the ipod.
  • My external hard drive disconnects itself as and when it feels like it.

Culture
  • Toy Story. Laughs (check), Heart (check),  Call backs (check), Peril (Double Check). Didn't need to be in 3D though. I prefer the storylines to have dimension *snort*
  • Henry VIII at the Globe. Codpieces (check), Lots of storyline involving the dissolution of the Catholic church in Britain and the birth of Elizabeth (check), Evidence why it is not a very famous Shakespeare play (check), Giant interval brownie (Double check). 
  • Welcome to Thebes. This really was a striking play - lots of poetic Shakespearean language and plenty of Greek mythological references (some stories from Ovid, which made me happy), but enough straight talking to anchor down any lofty pretension. Quality play. 
  • On the Telly I have been watching the repeats of Cowards. I know I have caught this before, but not seen every episode. I love how Henry VIII carries a chicken drumstick, and the caravan sketches are hilariously endearing
  • Him off of Cowards has a blog with a video/song about Neighbours Sexual Fantasies. I want to link it to the Homeandawaybours website, but i'll write this instead. 
 New stuff.


There are lots of New Things over on my website. But right here I have uploaded a second rate ill thought out animation I made in Canada but didn't do any sound to. Enjoy its poor quality and odd storyline.

  2. Yeah, those were exactly my thoughts when I left Toy Story... "I sat through all this with 2 pairs of glasses on my face so I could see the subtitles of (the admittedly hilarious) Spanish Buzz sitting slightly further forward than normal? A pox on you!"

    I shall buy it in 2D and enjoy it without bitterness.
