Ys without doubt treads the thinnest of tightropes between tweeness and outright dementia. But after about 4 listens it starts to unravel affectingly naked emotions beneath the monkey and meteorite references.

She is very beautiful with just the right amount of the Devil in her smile.<BR/><BR/>That film has Michael Pitt from Last Days in it. I thought that film was actually quite an incisive meditation on loneliness, humanism and the collapse of genuine communication. Which kind of links back to people who can only emit sound waves and not process those returned to them. I remember reading most people thought Last Days was just a guy mumbling in an old house for 2 hours. Which I concede is a valid opinion.<BR/><BR/>Ive never smoked im too scared.<BR/><BR/>I really don't like the Joanna Newsom album. Does anyone else? Its a bit twee and all over the shop. It reminds me of Astral Weeks but I never liked that either. I might trade it in at HMV for the Final Destination boxset.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604628.post-1164549718206938292006-11-26T02:01:00.000-12:002006-11-26T02:01:00.000-12:00Yup, you just have to run away.

Other people are just microphones for them to talk into. Sometimes they just talk over the top of you. I one met a guy who would start talking again at exactly the moment you struggled into a response to their last pointless anecdote. These people will survive a nuclear winter.Nick Talbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122332897189553465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604628.post-1164547997742913602006-11-26T01:33:00.000-12:002006-11-26T01:33:00.000-12:00one of the worst aspcects of boring people is thei...one of the worst aspcects of boring people is their ability to turn non boring people into boring people merely by proximity, sucking them into their stupid anecdote competitions ("fight not with monsters..." etc.). A dead giveaway is when someone starts a sentence with something along the lines of 'yeah, no but the best was this time when...' at this point you have ot run.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
