Yay! I finally made it too 100. So, today is the first day back at University after the Easter Holidays. I still find the Easter Hols a bit weird, because we didn't have them at my first University.
So anyway, yesterday I decided that my dog (Shane, a Lhasa Apso who is very, very cute despite also being very, very ugly - I love him though) needed a hair cut. Lhasa's don't shed, their hair just grows and grows, and if you don't cut it, it matts. (This isn't helped by the fact that there's nothing Shane loves more than to play in dirt)
So I go to cut the very first little Matt off of him, I slip with the scissors. As a result, a huge chunk of flesh came away (well, it's a flap now) and you could see bone and everything. He'll be getting spoiled rotten for a long time now.
I feel so bad. I was trying my hardest to be careful and I still messed up. But, he isn't bothered. Seriously, he never even made a noise when it happened. Just licked it, and ran away to eat his dog treats (which he had scattered around the garden)
It has been treated now, and we're to clean it once every day with special water-stuff. And keep it bandaged, but he doesn't seem the least bit bothered. I'm very angry with myself.
Shane is just over two years old, and he's a little pest. He's disobediant, get's dirty all the time and steals food.
But he's also a very loving little dog. Affectionate and much of the time, a real lap dog.
So I got that essay done, about an hour before the deadline. It was mammoth, nearly twenty pages long. It went on forever. Anyhoo...
I'm currently reading Heretics Of Dune (the fifth book in the series) and it's the first that I'm finding difficult to read. It's not that it's dull, or boring... it's just so dense. After reading about ten pages I feel exhausted, and I can normally read a book of it's length in a day or so.
So I was thinking about Star Wars last night. I've seen a lot of talk on the net lately, wondering which order to show kids and such these films in. If I ever have kids, I'll show them the films in this order.
Star Wars (Original version)
Empire Strikes Back (Original Version)
Return Of The Jedi (Original Version)
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones
Star Was Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (2004 DVD edition)
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (2004 DVD edition)
Star Wars Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi (2004 DVD edition)
I seriously dislike the prequels though.
Oh well, fare thee well.

I am stressing.
Really badly.
Turns out that my essay that I THOUGHT was for next Thursday is actually for tomorrow. And I'm just over a fifth of the way through. And am I working on it?
No, I'm watching Star Trek III: The Search For Spock. I think maybe after I post this I'll go through to the other computer and fire in another couple of thousand words. Hopefully that will mean I can finish it tomorrow before the deadline, and fingers crossed get a decent grade. Politics - such a dull subject.
Anyway, I've decided today that some things in my life need to seriously change. I'm tired of being over weight, for one thing. A couple of years ago I managed to make some serious headway with loosing weight - however it was shortly after that I started suffering from depression, which put me right back where I was before. This time, I'm determined to do it.
I figure now is as good a time as any to start - as I'll be free most days for pretty long walks. Uni starts again at the star of next week, but I'm back home by Two PM, which means a five mile walk should be no problem.
I'm getting really excited about the new Star Trek film, which I find strange because growing up I was always much more of a Next Generation fan, rather than the Original Series. To be honest, I find the original series just that little bit dry. The characters, except from Spock, just never really grabbed me.
I do, however, love the first six films - the one with the original series crew. They're by far the best things with the Star Trek name out there. Needless to say, I don't believe in the odd-number curse - they're all good.
So anyway, Saturday past had a new episode of Doctor Who, which for me is a major event. I quite enjoyed it, except for Michelle Ryan. Someone needs to stop her from ever acting again. She's just awful. I'll be sad to see David Tennant go, but it's something that must be I suppose. I'm really looking forward to see what Moffat will do with the show when he takes over - his stories have been the best one's in each of the new series. I wonder if he'll be able to maintain that level of quality when he's having to churn out nearly three times as many. Only time will tell.
Oh well, suppose I'd better go and write this beast of an essay, peace out.
I am so tired of the United Kingdom. We have reached a point where we are bending over backwards to protect the rights of criminals, whilst the rest of us are forgotten about.
Take for example, the recent case of a man murdered in a supermarket. Some man cut in front of a female in a supermarket queue - so her boyfriend beat him to death in the supermarket... only to find his girlfriend had pointed out the wrong man. So he then went after the cutter...
This killer got four years. That's it, just four years for viciously robbing a man of his life, simply because this animal thought this guy had cut in line.
What kind of Justice system do we operate under? Criminals rights seem more important than anyone elses'. To my mind it condones crime - I've often wondered why our society is falling apart. Why murder, rape and beatings seem to be more and more common. The answer - because our system allows it by giving out no real punishment.
I don't know. Really the best thing to do would be issue the law abiding public with baseball bats, and we could dish out the punishments.
Holidays are the best. Because it means a temporary end to six am starts. Six am, imagine it every morning. Depressing.
Anyhoo, in about 10 days it'll be Vicky and I's 2nd anniversary. Gonna book us into a nice restaurant - but I need some help for what else to do. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.
So I'm sitting down right now, watching this show Primeval. It's a bit off, the acting's a bit naff. But it's still awesome. Who doesn't wanna see Prehistoric Monsters messing things up in the 21st century.
There is nothing, NOTHING, will wake you up like eating spicy food for breakfast. Also, nothing improves even the worst food more than pouring on a great huge dollop of extra-hot lime pickle.
So we went to see Marley & Me yesterday. It just only came out over here in the UK, which is why I'm not reviewing it properly. No point in reviewing a movie that has been out so long everywhere else that the DVD is only two weeks away.
Anyway, I cried. Yup. I've read the book, and it did the same thing to me, only a million times worse.
On July 13th, 2005 my Alsatian, Hogan, who was with me for nearly ten years, died. It was only later that we found out his stomach had twisted. Same damn thing happens in the book/movie. So it's very difficult for me to read and watch.
Anyhoo, onto happier things. I made a lot of money selling old junk. Yup, £140 from two old school Power Rangers items. Apparently the prices I asked were very reasonable too, funny what becomes valuable isn't it?
Apart from that, not much happening in my liferoo at the moment. Peace out.
WARNING: SPOILER HEAVY!
It has now been 19 days since the new Friday The 13th (hereby referred to as F1309) movie was released. I consider the Friday The 13th series, overall, to be the greatest slasher series to ever exist.
I saw it on it's second day of release, but it has taken me some time to collect my thoughts together - Yes, I've thought long and hard about this one.
F1309 is the twelfth movie to focus on the Voorhees family's slight tendency towards the brutal slaughter of anyone who comes with ten miles of them.
There's a lot of debate as to whether this movie is a remake, a reboot or a sequel masquerading as a remake for marketability. Here is your answer - this movie does in fact remake the original 1980 slasher classic. Kinda.
Here's why - Jason was not the killer in the original movie. Mommy dearest carved up Camp Crystal Lake as best she could in the original movie (F13), thinking Jason dead. That movie was roughly 95 minutes long.
There was a lot of build up in that movie, suspense was a key ingredient mixed in with the gore. We actually gave a damn about most of the characters in the movie.
Here, the entire original movie is reduced to under a minute. Yup, Mrs. Voorhees get's all slash happy off screen, and we're just meant to assume people have died... and all we are treated to is Fake Mrs. Voorhees (Betsy Palmer and Betsy Palmer alone is Mrs. Voorhees - anyone else is a fake) yelling a lot about her son drowning and then getting her head cut off. Which seems a bit unfair in this new version, we haven't actually see the poor woman do anything wrong.
Original:
Jason drowns, women gets upset and over several decades kills councillors, finally being put down by having her head chopped off with a machete.
Remake:
Jason drowns, woman get's upset, shouts, get's her head chopped off with a machete.
I know we're meant to assume she's killed people, but it just doesn't work cause we haven't seen it. Just makes the councilor look like an Uber-Bitch.
Anyway, this all goes down in 1980.
So that's the remake portion over. And my main complaint should be clear:
Couldn't they give a little more screen time to Pamela... half an hour maybe. The world is ready for a two-hour-plus Friday Film! She is such an important part of the Friday the 13th saga - without her there's no Jason, no Roy, NOTHING!
I think it's become obvious by this point in time (actually it was obvious eight years ago) that the producers are scared not to have Jason on screen. Jason and his hockey mask mean BIG MONEY!
Anyway, then the zooms forward to the here and now, and a bunch of twenty-somethings are camping in Crystal Lake. Turns out one of them got a tip on some "awesome powerful weed" around there. Do people not just go camping anymore?
They all sit about a campfire, the weirdo-loner dude talking about how a load of people got killed at this very campsite, and talking about the Jason legend.
Now, the kids in the F13 Franchise have never been that bright - but who the FUCK would go camping in the place where you KNOW there's a serial killer, what possible reason would you have to go there, what could tempt you to..
Oh yeah. Weed.
Nice one, writers.
Anyhoo a couple of them have sex, while the weirdo dude goes off to find the weed and another couple go to Jason's shack.
The dude finds the weed, but Jason shows up (sporting a really crappy looking version of the F13:2 sack mask) and kills him by cutting his ear off (huh?)
Meanwhile, the two that are boning hear some scary noises, so one goes to investigate (OF COURSE) he finds his friends corpse, and runs back just in time to see his girlfriend,/fuck buddy trapped in her sleeping bag, tied over the fire.
He gets caught in a bear trap, and his girlfriend does that thing young people do in these movies (dies).
We then visit the other couple, who are poking around Jason's home (dumb kids) and suddenly a machete starts poking up from the floorboards. To cut a long story short, the dude dies. The girl runs back to the campsite. Jason chases her, and notices the guy in the bear trap. He machetes the guy in the head. THEN TURNS ON THE GIRL AND OMG!
Is that the movie over? Didn't feel very long...
Oh no, it's just the title sequence. But wait, the title comes up, "Friday The 13th" we hear that cool "Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma" sound, then the movie starts. Only one problem... we're more than half an hour in. This movie is only an hour and a half long, and they've wasted it on these pointless characters...
And the movie does suffer for this. Oh yes.
The movie does what Rob Zombie's awful Halloween remake did, and tries to squish two movies into one. In the case of Halloween, it was a young Michael movie and a fairly faithful (but crap) remake squished into one, leaving both parts to the story feel rushed and incomplete.
Here they squeeze two different Jason stories into one movie, and it leaves no time for character development for either set of witless youths who wander into Jason's stomping grounds.
The next hour of movie is so poor that I can't even bring my self to write it all down here. The characters show up and immediately start dying (Take that, SUSPENSE! How dare you try and sneak into a Platinum Dunes horror remake)
The biggest problem is the fact that this film does not feel like a Friday The 13th movie. Anyone see the actually pretty good Texas Chainsaw Remake. It feels like that. It looks like that.
It was shot in Texas, and it shares most of it's crew (Director, Director Of Photography, etc) with that movie, so it's little wonder that this feels like a Texas Chainsaw Movie that Jason has wandered into.
Derek Mears as Jason is actually pretty good, but he doesn't save this movie by a long shot.
It's not all bad, there are some good points. Let's finish by weighing up the good points vs the bad.
Several complaints:
1. Why do all serial killers these days look the same. All grungy and tattered. Leatherface, Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees - they all look the same. I know they shouldn't look pristine, but they each need their own physical identity, which is being lost in all the grime. Hell, Jason was pretty clean in parts 2-4 all things considered.
2. Okay, no Friday film has good characterization. But they haven;t even tried here... not that there's any time cause they spent HALF AN HOUR OF A 90 MINUTE MOVIE ON THE FUCKING INTRO!!!!
3. Why so many boobs? And sex scenes? It's not necessary. Yeah, it's a part of the franchise - but more effort seems to have gone into sex than the kills.
4. The way Jason finds his mask is so freakin' stupid. And his sack mask looks like crap.
5: The kills are just about the least inventive in the series. Machete, Sleeping bag on fire, Machete, Machete, Arrow, Machete, Screwdriver, Axe, Deer (wtf), Machete/Combine, Machete.
6. Underground tunnels. Yeah, real scary.
7. Why does this look/feel/sound/smell/taste like a FUCKING TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE MOVIE!
8. The "two-part" structure of the movie. Which I'm positive was only done so they could have THIRTEEN kills. Cause... you know it's Friday The THIRTEENTH. Gotta have Thirteen kills... urgh.
Good points:
1. Jason doesn't use his machete as often as in FvJ, where the damn thing was superglue to his hand.
2. The Chinese dude is the funniest character in a F13 ever.
Lastly, why call it a remake, it's clearly not (excepting the first MINUTE). Why, marketability. That's it. But JASON IS A CASH COW. Freddy Vs Jason made like, a squillion dollars (in slasher movie money) - it's didn't need a reboot... people were waiting for a sequel and they didn't damn well give us one.
A remake should add something to the original story, this didn't. Look at Rob Zombies Halloween, it added something. Granted what it added was to turn Michael Myers into a whiny little bitch, and fuck up the entire story but hey, still changed something.
The purpose of today's entry is to tell you all about Wednesday:
Wednesday is named for the Old-English God WÅden. Thus Wednesday is WÅden's Day. WÅden is actually the same God as the Norse God Odin.
But the real point of interest about Wednesdays is that it is my favourite day of the week. Why, I hear you ask? Oh, you don't care?
Well, I'm gonna tell you anyway.
Wednesday, is my weekend. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday I'm up at 6am to attend lectures. Saturday and Sunday are reserved for working/moneymaking. So Wednesday is my day to laze around, reading, watching TV and playing video games. What a fine day it is.
It's my time to get things done - my room is now in a state of "kinda clean-ish". Which it very rarely reaches, being crammed to the brim as it is with various paperbacks, comic books, DVD's and other such stuff.
Today, I received a telephone call. The caller informed me that this Saturday, a legend was descending upon the city of Aberdeen. A being so awesome, so incredible, so brilliant, so utterly fantastic and wonderful that no word exists in any language that could possibly begin to describe his sheer... well, like I just said there's no word.
Shane MacGowan. The last great poet, the last great philosopher. Here am I, given once more the chance to stand in his presence. But this time, things are different. No longer will I be forced into a venue build for thousands of people - not this time. A small gig, for those loyal enough to traverse the lands of find him.
So stage, no barriers. Getting so close to him you can smell his gin ridden breath as he rasps out a traditional Irish masterpiece. To observe the exact direction of his drunken sway, and yes, perhaps even being close enough to understand him when he speaks. A thing of true beauty.
To bad I'm FUCKING WORKING!
Last entry: May 26th, 2007
Jings.
You would think that with 21 months passing since my last entry I might have something to write about, but not really. So I'll just make some, more exciting stuff up, to mix in with what actually happened.
I traveled the world (not really), met some famous people (that part's true*), joined a Pirate crew (not telling) and watched a lot of free movies at the cinema. That's true too.
As well as tolerating University, I work part time at a cinema. I say part time, it's more a "when we need you we'll call you thing. And they do - I just wish they did it by some other means. A Dougie-Signal would be nice, lighting up the night sky. And a theme tune (John Williams, of course. If he won't do it... Danny Elfman I guess. They're the superhero go-to guys)
Of course the real news is that I'm still with the girl mentioned in my last post. She's awesome, and is a lovely girl. I love her.
She's gonna be a nurse.

Okay, so I haven't updated this in a while. Partially cause the site seems to be a wasteland, shame really...
But mostly I've just had much more important things going on.
So much has changed.
Back at the time of the last entry, I was struggling with the idea of going back to Uni... as it turned out I took a leave of absence and got put on medication to... feel better.
But the main thing that has changed is that I'm with someone. A really amazing girl, and the love of my life.
I've known her for years, and always had a crush on her, but then she told me she liked me... and I had to put aside all my insecurities to ask her out. But I did, and since then I've been so much happier.
She's just amazing, we've not been together THAT long but allready I feel so connected to her, and I can tell her anything. I know we have a future together...
And that's amazing.
Every second Im not with her seems forever... but it makes it better when I do get to be.
This all sounds so cliche, but I suppose this is what love is. One big long list of cliche feelings.
But the only reason it comes out as cliche is theres no real words to put it in, the feelings are so damn strong that I just don't know how to put it in words that haven't allready been spoken.
I hope this girl will let me spend my life with her. I want to give her the world. I love everything about her, I think I made a post on a forum about it.
I listed these as some of my favourite things about her
How excited she got over Doctor Who - bounding over to the TV, Screaming "Come On Doctor, You'll Make It"
The way she looks when she sleeps - she's not a peaceful sleeper at all, it's all movement and hitting me. But I wouldn't trade it for anything. Ever.
Her complete Hatred of the TMNT - I had to take down my poster of them, cause they scared her. I pretended to mind, but it was actually really cute and just made me more crazy about her.
How Stubborn She is - We're both the same way, which leads to some really funny things going on, but I love it really.
Her Eyes - Argh, the most gorgeous things anyone could ever see. Lovely blue eyes, argh, amazing.
Her Love Of Crappy Music - Okay, so I can't stand Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance or any of these bands... but I miss hearing them, cause when they are on, she's here.
But theres so much more than that. It's just her. She's such a caring girl, the complete opposite of me. She seems to care about everyone and everything she comes across - and that's incredible.
She does this thing when she sleeps, with her lip rings. It sounds like someone walking on gravel, and I miss it soo much. It's hard to sleep without it.
The greatest thing in my life. My girl, my Victoria.
Anyhoo, I want a bath, but the hot water maker thingie jig is dead, which is annoying. I blame the French. I prefer showers anyway, but just fancied generally soaking, hrm... grrr.
So, we started work on the Zombie Crisis plan again, me and my mates sorted it all out ages ago, what we would do incase we were suddenly hit with a mass of zombies in scotland, but it needed updated... there were smelly people we didn't like on the list.
I don't know how one feels girly, but I like the concept.
So, returning to this thing after AGES, I'm really going to try and stick with it this time. True story.
Today is my first day back home alone, it's been filled with the brother and other people previous to this... he seems to be going back to school though, stress.
Dirty Old Town... Dirty Old Town.
I've been up to quite a lot since the last entry, plenty of gigs, Dropkicks, Pogues etc. Was most merry...
As of late not much has been happening. I've danced.
I've dyed my hair blond for no readily apparent reason, I thought it would be funny. It wasn't. Erm... that's it really. Ha.
I have renewed my love of drunken kareoke, yup. Sang Fairytale Of New York with some random I had never met before the other night, t'was good fun. Everyone should sing it. True story.
I want to brush my teeth.

So Uni = Ace now. Lots of lazing about on the warm grass getting pissed, and tanned. Gotta love the student life.
You know what's strange, all the time I was at University I wanted to be at home, but now I'm here... I want back to Uni. Thank Christ this festival of boredom that people call holidays will be over soon... not soon enough though.
It's really pitiful to be bitching about having too much Holiday. But too much af a good thing...
Especially when it isn't THAT good... it gets really old really fast.
I've spent about four or five weeks arsing about the house so far, and I'm really sick of it. No friends left in town to hang with, they're all back at their own Uni's. I just have a shitty one that goes back really late. Cunt of a place.
So anyway, I think I've officially left behind all that I ever was, I'm a geek now, and I like it. The clothes are easier to get a hold of, they're cheaper and theres a distinct lack of pain involved, that existed before when I would accidentely hit myself with a spike or something...
Loving it.
Peace.
Okay so I gave up on the whole Anti-Christmas thing, couldn't be arsed with it, and I actually found myself getting into the spirit of things.
It's been really good being back home - getting to see my friends that I left behind, just something simple like going to the pub is great now, because Im with my old crew.
For New Years I went to my mates Birthday party, Jaceks 18th. Was well quality, was also Scotts (one of my uni mates) 18th, but he lives elsewhere, have to text him saying happy birthday.
Anyway... 2006 is gonna be more of the same. Aren't we all excited?
2.
I think I shall order a curry, for I have no food left in this university, save bread... and I don't fancy eating a loaf of bread for my dinner... call me old mr unadventurous.
I'm pretty bored, we're going out later to salivate over some pretty female pop star who's music kinda sounds like someone being slowly beaten to death, ear plugs necessary. Anyhoo... I'll update this later... busy dancing about right now.
Nicked this from someone else btw, but shhh
