According to Netflix, there are only two cultures.
my mom is trying to pick a colour for her new wheelchair and me and my dad are telling her to get black and she’s just like “but how will I know if someone is stealing it” and my dad is just like “because you’ll be sitting on the floor” and she slapped him
He has a point. My wheelchair is black and nobody has ever managed to steal it.
Spectacular!

After hearing My White Bicycle the other day, I bought the Tomorrow album. On first listen, I like it a lot - on its own merits, and also because it makes more sense of The Dukes of Stratosphear.
The weird stereo mixing did briefly make me think my favourite headphones were broken though. Damn you, psychedelia!
I remember sitting in bed and being near tears because I was so frustrated that I couldn’t FIND THE BASTARD!!!
There are two types of people in this world: People who call him Wally, and people who are wrong.

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Asks Atheist Tornado Survivor If She ‘Thanked The Lord’
So that’s Wolf Blitzer? All I can think of is the scene in 30 Rock where Jack Donaghy threatens to reveal his true name: Steel Hammerhands.
I call this one.. “My light isn’t working and I can’t even read and I’m bloody bored, bugger bugger bugger.”
My best friend there, auditioning for an Ingmar Bergman film…
Either the dispatch email for my next two rentals missed the ‘and’ between the titles, or I’ve accidentally rented something called She Giant.
Melt Yourself Down kicked some serious arse on Later with Jools Holland last night.
(Shameless self-promotion: Saxophonist Pete Wareham played on one of my songs about 6 years ago.)
I watched and loved the first season of Breaking Bad recently. Really looking forward to seeing the rest, when all the blu-rays come out in the UK next month.
Also, they get bonus points for casting RJ Mitte, an actor who has cerebral palsy, as a character who has cerebral palsy. Non-disabled actors playing disabled characters is one of my pet hates.

I want hair like this..
A family friend was in San Francisco recently visiting her new granddaughter. She was kind enough to bring back some films I had delivered to her son’s house, saving me fuckloads in postage and import fees. The only films I’ve seen before are Cabaret and The Verdict. I’m very excited to see the others.
And these are just the films - I also ordered the final seasons of 30 Rock and Bored to Death. My to-watch pile just got a whole lot bigger.
