Next Week

Am determined that next week is going to be awesome. Definitely seeing Tricot. Japanese all-girl math rock. Was quite shocked to see they were playing London. Pretty excited about that actually. Possibly seeing NYPC. Then another day at Hyde Park on Saturday. Before the Cat Empire at Somerset House on Sunday. I may just collapse after all that.

Still love the Cat Empire!

Sunday

Let's be honest, I'm not altogether happy about how today went. Mostly it was fun. Except when I wasn't losing my mind due to seizures of random stupidity. I managed to go two weeks in Singapore without getting even the slightest sunburn. Three hours in London, I'm a tomato. Added to other careless moments. And random updates. It has been a little disheartening.

The past few days seemed to go so well. Cinema. Gig. Positive life developments. Survived work (for another week). Pleasant drinks. Bands in Hyde Park. Met interesting people. All pretty good. Think I probably got overtired with all the stressful situations happening and managed to lose all semblance of social aptitude by today though.

[sigh]

It has been nice to see old friends over the past few days. And not awkward. Big plus.

Maybe I should write an emo song about my day. Has anyone ever addressed the relationship between emo side fringes and sunburn. I know the truth. Only half my forehead is still white, ...

Oh, well. It is now Monday. I can just move on. And perhaps not look in any mirrors for a few days.

Tron Legacy: Redux II

Best quote of the film

You're really messing with my zen-thing, man.

Think I'm done with the Jeff Bridges love-in for this evening. Although perhaps I could watch the Big Lebowski tomorrow.

Tron Legacy: Redux

And now we have arrived at the nightclub scene. Michael Sheen channelling David Bowie is a sight to behold. A wonderful, glorious sight to behold. Beautiful work.

And the Daft Punk cameo!

I am rather glad that my flatmates decided to watch Tron Legacy this evening.

Tron Legacy

Just watching Tron Legacy. At the dinner scene where we meet old Jeff Bridges for the first time:

We were jamming man. Building utopia.

Such a cool flick. This scene is pure exposition, but ... it's all about that 'biodigital jazz, man'.

Quite possibly the best film score ever made too. Could Daft Punk soundtrack my life already. Parts of it, at least. Maybe not today. It hasn't really been a cool day. Atmospheric post-rock would definitely sum up my state of mind better. Best find a film scored by Mogwai to watch next.

Labyrinth

Apparently some twenty-somethings out there have never seen Labyrinth. This makes me sad.

The film has to be David Bowie's finest hour. Dance Magic Dance is incredible. As is the way he pronounces Sa-rah. I was always a big fan of Sir Didymus too.

Hello Again

It's been quite a while since I updated this blog. Something I always mean to do perhaps, but ... never quite find the time. Been to some rather exciting events recently. Going to try and write about a few of them over the next week or so.

Planning to start a second blog, as I've had some pretty big news recently. Just waiting for it to be fully confirmed though.

Let's see how long I can keep this up, ...
