Argh fuck

Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your minds elation,
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations ..


Our toilet and shower are on the fritz. The shower is sitting in 3 inches of water, with cloudy black and brown crap seeping out of the plughole. The toilet bowl looks like a vapourised poo factory. We now have one shower and toilet between 8 of us, which is going to make for happy times when we all fight over it. I've binned two towels eliminating the water that keeps leaking out of the pipes.

At the risk of sounding closed minded, I don't like Twilight. Too many people I know went along to the midnight screenings of New Moon for my liking. I recently read the plot(s) for the first time, and some extracts from it, to try and get an idea of what the hell all the hype's about. There is some godawful crap in there.

"Even more, I had never meant to love him. One thing I truly knew - knew it in the pit of my stomach, in the centre of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it in my empty chest - was how love gave someone the power to break you. I'd been broken beyond repair." - from New Moon

Seriously?

Twilight: New Moon - One girl's choice between Necrophilia and Bestiality.

Could this be another literary revolution? The beginning of a beautiful partnership between sun-fearing creatures of legend and the moronic whims of high school girls? Quite possibly - but wait. These are unconventional vampires. They go out in the daytime, they drink from animals and garlic and crosses mean fuck all. Is this where are the interest stems from? A quote on the subject of the Twilight vampires:- "Some vampires have no special abilities, and instead have a prominent personality or physical trait from their human life magnified." What does that encapsulate? Bipolar disorder? The ability to solve rubix cubes quickly?

We've all seen the hordes of screaming teens and their long-suffering mothers whenever Robert Pattinson makes an appearance - a new age freak show, where a delusional crowd flails for their Edward. Having taken a gander at the deep 'subject matter', I can only wonder why. "AAAAH" They write in their diaries, "WHY CAN'T I HAVE A BOYFRIEND LIKE EDWARD?". Ah, maturity.

In non vampire-related news, Modern Warfare 2 is amazingly amazing, if a little disturbing occasionally. Incredibly realistic in the sense that the Russians are killing everyone and everything, the Americans kill the Brits, the Brits are single handedly saving the world, and the French are nowehere to be seen. If you haven't bought it yet, then try and pawn your Twilight tickets on eBay and save up for the game. Chasing Russians on snowmobiles is more fun than chasing the love of a fictional vampire.
