Stay Groovy. :D
Well, went to see Hot Fuzz tonight. Was a very weird film - like Shaun of the Dead it seemed to change films halfway through, but that in no way detracted from a fantastically funny film. Was it better than Shaun? It was definitely a more accomplished piece of filmmaking whilst also being a lot more immature. I guess the definite change was that it didn't feel like a feature length episode of Spaced. Before you reject it in disgust, the homages are still there, and the Straw Dogs take off has to be the best. Toks and I were going to have our usual discussion of favourite moments at the end, but one stood out more than any other: Simon Pegg kicking an old lady in the face. It was funny and light hearted but also quite astoundingly brutal. I think this film confirms the theory that the only violence that merits an 18 rating is that which is sexual or sadistic in nature (i.e. why Saw can possibly be considered an 18). I applaud the relaxing of censorship, but mourn the demise of the video nasty culture. Whether for bad acting, racial stereotypes, cannibalism or graphic yet poorly executed violence, we will remember them. RIP

I am so behind on my work for tomorrow, and am more than a little worried in that I have thirty odd Yeats poems to understand, and a good 150 more pages of Larkin. Yeats tonight, Larkin in the morning I think. Something about Yeats's poetry seems to lend itself to sleep deprivation. Possibly the fact that he is INSANE!

Jenni is here tomorrow! Yay! Need to tidy my room, hoover, make sure I have some food in the house, get rid of the odd smell which is almost, but not entirely like a changing room. Must resist the lure of spider solitaire and the epic task of rating every song on itunes a genre at a time. Of course I have to listen to each song all the way through, so this could take some time.

Anyway, to Responsibilities.

Love to all my homies.

PS - on closer inspection it's my swimming towel festering in the corner. Nice.

PPS - check out radio 7 on the bbc website, and listen to the dramatization of Women in Love. Aside from some slightly weird voices, it's a very good version. Last episode is tomorrow night, but the previous ones are all available for a listen.
