A poem I wrote in economics about "indie" girls
Gliding through life,
In a multi-coloured spiral,
Blissfully aloof to all the horrors that surround you.

I wish I was blissfully ignorant
I want to be an author when I am older. I have already started writing various bits and pieces.
Yet, my oh so rational brain tells me that this is no secure future. I could be a lawyer and have a safe job, earn a decent wage, and be able to support myself (and hopefully a family). I would have to work hard at something I probably wont enjoy, but at least it should guarantee security.

Didn't watch that much in February...
2/2/12 - Unforgiven 9/10
Eastwood directing and acting. Good Western and acting from Hackman and Freeman
5/2/12 - Bronson 6.5/10
Story a bit weak (though it is a character study more than anything), and a little boring in places. Hardy was good though
6/2/12 - Army of Darkness 7.5/10
Not sure why I watched this instead of Evil Dead 1 or 2. Funny, great one liners.
7/2/12 - Fear and Loathing...

Rested my arm down on my desk.
Didn’t realised my fountain pen was underneath it. Now my shirt is stained. Bugger.
I just sat through "Salo".
It is the most disturbing film I have ever seen. I’m never touching foreign arthouse again. The whole of the second act made me want to vomit, but I just had to keep watching. Not for the faint of hearted.

Obligatory Oscar Post...
Predictions:
The Artist gets Director, Actor, Picture, Original Score
Midnight in Paris gets Original Screenplay, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy gets Adapted
“Man or Muppet” wins best song
Snubs:
Drive not being nominated anywhere is a disappointment. Should have at least got best supporting actor nom for Albert Brooks
Tyrannosaur should be up for best picture, actress, and director.

ONLY A MONTH TILL MAD MEN SEASON 5 PREMIERS!
FANGIRL SCREAM!
Seriously, Mad Men is probably the only thing that I am a rabid fan of. It’s been far too long since we’ve been graced with Don’s, Pete’s, Peggy’s, Roger’s and everyone else’s presence.
