Are you damned?
You have been naughty. You are the sort of person who used to pull off the wings and legs of flies when you were a child, and giggle at the black speck that remained. Evil is written right through you like 'Blackpool' through a stick of rock. You malingering deviant. Prepare for eternal damnation. You deserve it.

Dec. 21st, 2002 07:59 pmOh, I'm in Kent by the way. And I haven't bought any of you Christmas presents because I'm astoundingly broke. I fully intend to buy you all nice things as soon as I have cash, but buying a new house is beyond expensive into life-threatening.
I've also been up since 6:00 and didn't go to bed until 1:30 because I was packing. I did sleep on the train down, but every half hour I'd wake up with a numb bum cheek, switch my weight to the other cheek and go back to sleep. It doesn't make for a lot of rest.
I've spent the afternoon putting up decorations with Dad. Pictures to follow as soon as I feel up to taking some, scanning them in, formatting them, uploading them to the website and linking them into an entry. This would all be easier if you useless bastards just popped round to see what a fantastic job we did. Scum.
Anyway, Pizza for me!
I may be delerious, it's hard to tell when you're delerious.

Begun, this clone war has
Dec. 21st, 2002 11:46 pmI just watched the Attack of the Clones DVD and I have to say I'm mystified by the number of people who have complained about Hayden Christian's acting in it, saying that he's whiny and brattish.
For goodness' sake - he's playing a 16 year old kid, raised as property, handed vast amounts of power and madly in love with the girl he's had a crush on for the last 10 years. He's more powerful than those around him (including some of his teachers) and has been repeatedly told by the president galaxy that he's going to be the most powerful Jedi ever. Of course he's whiny and brattish!
The film looks great, is great fun, has some wonderful homages to pulp SF cinema and even some cool direction (the lightsaber fight between Kenobi and Dooku, where you see nothing but their faces illuminated by the clashing blades, for instance).
Sure, the dialogue is occasionally sucky, but by and large it's a damn cool film for what it is.
