The day from hell

I dont think I've ever bitched on here. So here is a little bitch from me!

The day from hell, Tuesday 21st Sept, started off with me only having 4 hours sleep, which I dont actually mind. Something good kept me awake =)...it then carried on with me heading for my doctors appointment and being told I have the start of a bad skin rash, which is leading to me having to give a fasting blood sample at a very early time in the morning (which I'm in protest about) It then carried on with me having to spend time with my Gran, who is the salt of the earth but seriously needs killing at times and it makes matter worse that she shouts at my puppy for getting in her feet. HE'S A PUPPY, FOR CHRISTS SAKE! I then had trouble getting the daktacort cream, for my rash, from the pharmacist. So i have to suffer till tomorrow

The day from hell is about to get worse...On friday last week, my car broke down and it's been sitting out in the middle of nowhere since. Today, I managed to find someone to help me tow my car back beside my apartment/flat. He then had a look under the hood and uttered the words that sank me. "your car is fucked!" It seems that with my car overheating on friday, it's totally ruined my engine. Everything is fried. To get someone to fix it would cost a bomb. I could get a second hand engine but it'll still cost more than the car is worth (yes, my car is kind of a bucket of shit) So I've had to make the painful decision to scrap my car and look for a new one. I've not had it long and I didnt pay anything for it. It was given to me by a friend. Now I know why! So there's my day from hell. My little bitch. Boring, eh?

A must read for all!

On this blog, we have a link to fear and loathing in wanga vegas. It's a blog belonging to our good friend Anarchy. He's the man who inspired me to start a blog of my own, which then became a blog for Luna and myself.

Today, he showed me a link to one of his posts intitled International Rules Of Manhood and I can honestly say that I've not laughed so much at one post! SO I URGE ALL OUR VISITORS (and people coming here from blogexplosion) to check out his post and of course to admire his handy work! The post can be viewed here. GO GO GO GO thank you, please

Giant Pink Bunny

An enormous pink bunny has been erected on an Italian mountainside where it will stay for the next 20 years.

It's 200 foot long and was knitted by dozens of grannies out of pink wool.

I'm not going to copy everything it says in the article. I'll let you do that yourself.

You can read about the giant pink bunny here

Robbie news...


Found a great news website, some Robbie news...

Robbie Williams is set to star in the re-make of Saturday Night Fever.
The Bee Gees are said to be making a £20 million modern version of the hit 70's film and have ear-marked Robbie for the part of Tony Manero, originally played by John Travolta. A friend of the Gibb brothers said: " Robbie is the ideal candidate to play Tony - he can sing, dance, is a good-looking lad and has loads of charisma."

Robbie Williams won't release his new album Intensive Care in America.
Stung by a lack of success State-side the singer has resolved not to give Americans a taste of his new material reports contactmusic.com.
He says: "The only way one of my albums is going to get into an LA record store is if I leave it there myself."


Robbie Williams was paid £1million to sing at a birthday party - and gave it to charity.
Robbie, 31, sang to 300 guests at the 50th birthday bash of City broker Michael Spencer, says the Sun.
He sang for an hour, starting at midnight with Let Me Entertain You and finishing with Angels at Chateau Meuf de Grasse in the south of France.
One guest said: "It was an incredible party that must have cost at least £1.5million.
"It had everything money can buy and then some. The vintage wine and champagne included bottles worth thousands.
"When Robbie came on people could not believe that he was there playing to them in such an intimate venue. It was a night no one will forget."
Seventies band Sister Sledge also played, while two of France's top chefs provided food.
Mr Spencer is the UK's 138th richest man with £360million.

Upcoming Horror Movies : Update

Not much to update about the past horror movies I posted about, which can be viewed here

Saw II : New website to view new trailers. I've just glanced at this, so I dont know much about it. Go here to see for yourself

Creepshow 3 : Not much to confirm for this apart from one actor known to be in the movie. Eileen Dietz (who???)

Silent Hill : Not much here either. There's a photobucket link with movie set pictures for you to look at. Check it out here

While looking at the site I get information from, I noticed one movie that's still in the works. You'll probably all remember the I know what you did last summer movies? Well, there's a new one (god help us) called I'll always know what you did last summer. So far I know that Jennifer Love Hewitt and Fredie Prinze Jr. will not be in the movie and it's been reported that Don Shanks will be playing the killer. That's about all the news I have for now (information taken from upcominghorrormovies.com)

Hurricane Katrina...Additional

First of all, I have to thank Anarchy for this..I was surfing his blog, (link to his blog, Fear and Loathing In Wangavegas, can be found below in the list of links) and found this hilarious clip. http://thinkprogress.org/2005/09/08/cheney-runs-into-trouble-with-the-locals/ I think it pretty much sums up the way the people of New Orleans think at the moment. It's gotta be the catchphrase of the century. Amidst all the suffering and chaos, it's good to know that sometimes we can have a bit of a laugh. Enjoy it.

9/11

While watching a chatroom, I noticed someone bitching about there being alot of documentary programs about 9/11 on TV. Correct me if I'm wrong but this isnt a crime, right? It did effect so many countries. Not just America. So why shouldnt there be a documentary on TV about it? People still think and suffer to this day because of it and it's also educational for the younger generation, who were most likely too young to understand what happened on the actual day.

Most of these people appear to be from Britain. I'm not in any way trying to say that all people from Britain are small minded. I'm from the UK myself...what I'm trying to say is that there can be countless documentary stuff about England losing the World Cup or how the England manager likes to fuck around on his girlfriend, countless amount of news about how people are upset that England aint doing well and stuff...BIG DEAL! In my opinion, that type of news aint worth the time! 9/11 didnt effect me in that I knew someone who died in it, before anyone wants to judge me about my opinion. I do remember, and will remember for the rest of my life, what I was doing on that day.

I just think people should stop bitching and moaning about TV programs that focus on what happened on that day. Would they be less small minded if they knew someone who happened to be in the towers on that day? Would they be effected more if they happened to be there themselves and survived like so many didnt?. It baffles me, it really does!

Word Verification

Is it just me or does anyone else have a problem with the word verification when posting a reply on blogger? It seems to be that I have to enter 2 codes before my reply is added and I know I'm typing the first code correct. I'm not stupid. Not that it's taxing to type another code in. I just wondered if I was the only one this happened to!

South Park

For all those South Park fans out there!

Comedy Central and "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have renewed their contract in a deal that will keep the creative duo at the cable channel through the end of 2008
You can read more and discuss this here

I'm going to have a look later when my computer isnt being such a fag!

On another note...POST 60 FOR ME!!! sorry. had to be done!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Being a huge Johnny Depp fan, I decided my movie to see this week would be Charlie. I honestly don't really like remakes, so I was prepared for the worst. I'd seen many a still picture from the movie..and Johnny looked good, so I thought, why not? As per usual, there wasn't many people in the cinema (that suits me fine) except for the disabled kids that are usually there, and make weird noises right throughout the film. Still, I had my choc bomb ice cream, I was set.
Sitting thru many a preview, watching the clips to Shark Boy and Lava Girl for the umpteenth time, I'm definitely going to go and see the new Harry Potter film. Judging by the clips, it looks like it's going to shit all over the others. But I digress.
So, approximately 2 hours later, I came out of the cinema with a huge grin on my face. I really enjoyed it! I do love Tim Burton's films, and this wasn't a disappointment. The story pretty much stuck to the original film script, of course there were a few changes. Which I thought was good. The Oompa-Loompah's were completely different, thank god for that. What I liked about them was, it was a regular actor, shrunk down of course, multiplied many times. The music was totally different too, much more of a "disco" style to it. Very camp. Christopher Lee starred also, as Willy Wonka's father. I don't remember the original movie touching on Willy's past. This one did. Great touch. The ending was different too, which I liked. I won't give anything else away, except that Johnny has great comedy skills. I really don't know why he doesn't do more comedy.
In conclusion, I recommend the film. Don't listen to when people say its too "dark" to bring kids. I think the kids would love it. I certainly didn't find anything in it that would upset or scare children. Not having read the book, I can't say whether or not this version was more true to Roald Dahl's vision than the first movie. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you see it, I hope you do too.

I Need Help..finding a song

If anyone can help. I know its a song from the 80's. The only line I can remember is "Give your love to a cowboy man. He's gonna love you hard(?) as he can". I've done a lyric search to no avail. I'd appreciate any help! Thank you!
