A Clockwork Orange

Something on myspace just reminded me about a movie adaptation of the book "A Clockwork Orange."
It seems that all the 'indie' kids love the movie, but truthfully, it shocked me, even knowing the book.
I can never deal with seeing rape, and I think it is sick that someone would want to. The book is a different story really, worse even. But, it is a book. It's personal, when you sit down, and you get into it, and you understand all the characters the way you want to, not the way they are put on the screen.
I did like the movie..i'm just being a nana really. But the book is better..as always.

A Clockwork Orange

Anthony Burgess

What do you do? We are raised to be the same, not think too much outside the box. We are all kids trying to conform. The sad thing being; the ones who have it right, well, we all think they are crazy.
"I am an artist."
What does that mean anymore? Being a good photographer is taken for granted now because anyone can fancy themselves one. All those 12 year old wannabes on myspace think photography is the best thing ever..that is if it's taken from above, and they look hot. Everyone travels the world now, and they take a thousand photos of everything they see. There are so many beautiful things in the world, and let's face it, if the lake is pretty; the picture is going to be pretty too. I just feel sad at the lack of creativity in the world. It sucks because I want to be a great artist and I have to justify my need to study it to others around me, saying "You can do lot's with photography..I could make money".But, you know what?! I just want to study something I am passionate about. I don't give a shit where it's going to take me!
So many great artists have been known to find beauty in everything, and all I can see lately is hate and betrayal, and it disgusts me.

In this world where everyone thinks they are different, where they are really just conforming, you know what kids, IF YOU CAN NAME IT, YOU'RE NO DIFFERENT FROM ANYONE ELSE!
I'm struggling to get around in the fake place.
HEY, I'm an artist too! Look at me!

The Sound of the Smiths: The Very Best of the Smiths

The Smiths

yes.

He's Just Not That Into You [Theatrical Release]

Argh, this movie was so insanely cliche. It's sad really.
I mean, the sad wanna-be-in-love quirky gal gets with the smooth forgot-how-to-love babe. The couple that think they can't but turns out they really can. The love-at-first-sighters. And, please, let's not forget the prick-of-a-lying-cheating-husband who cheats on his sweet and loving wife with a hot yoga instrutor/stuggling muso.

I am disappointed because I thought this movie was going to be honest, and real. I admit there were some aspects that were very true to the real world, but mostly it was a bunch of shit, just like the rest of them.
I mean come on, "I'm the rule, not the exception". Oh the mathematics of human nature!

Anyway, I vote NO!, and I advise that if you want to see this chick flick; wait till it's on dvd, don't waste the special cinema moments for it.

listening to: cat power

I just watched the first 5 episodes of season 3 skins. I love that show, sadly. I could watch it forever, and I quite honestly like the new season characters more than the last two..i guess i will wait and see, i could be wrong.
I think it must be sad how boring I feel watching that show, i wish my life was remotely as interesting as theirs are, although they are all fucked up, i don't envy that much.
It is my boyfriends fathers birthday party tonight, and I am sure I could have gone, but I wasn't invited, and I am one of those people who feel the need to be invited to attend something. Oh well, how nice really, feels lovely.
Anywhoo..maybe i am equally fucked up as the skins characters, maybe I should be a tv drama?

hmmm..

i love cat power, so much. she probably isn't helping with my feelings of self-loathing, and lonliness right now,

yes. i should be a tv drama.

note, i can't even be bothered with correct grammer (gramma? ha.) how sad.

I worked till midnight last night, which was OK because of the boys I was working with, it always helps if they do their job and are nice and easy to work with, plus I love my manager because she hates working there as much as I do.
Anyway, then I came home and decided I needed to workout a little bit because I had eaten too much/bad food yesterday and hadn't done enough exercise (note:I am about to go for a walk/jog. Walk/jog because 1. Jogging or running is bad for the joints. 2. Because I am unfit and can hardly jog.) and so I didn't get into bed till about 1:30-2:00 and when I did, I was tired.
Well, I woke up this morning to my mum talking very loudly to my grandfather who had popped over, this was 9:30, I guess that was enough sleep in retrospect, but that's not what my brain was saying..so I went back to sleep. Then an hour later I awake to the sound of my mother on the phone, she was standing outside my bedroom..I don't know why. And when she talks on the phone, it's more a soft scream, she finds it neccesary to speak very loudly. At this point I thought it was time to get my lazy ass out of bed and do some shit, but I hate waking up when I don't want to, when someone wakes me up, it just makes me angry. ha.

That is all, just wanted to winge.

I leave you with this awesome picture from Frankie Magazine.

i wish monkeys would play banjo to me!

Tonight:Franz Ferdinand

Franz Ferdinand

I gifted this to my boyfriend for valentines day because I knew how much he wanted it.
My conclusion: far better than a box of chocolates.

I have only listened to it 3 or 4 times so far, So I am not familiar with what my favourite songs are, or maybe that is just because the whole album is fantastic.

It's been a while since I have listened to Ol' Franzie, but I have always liked them, and this does not dissapoint. The music is still precise and the lyrics and vocals are still sexy, ha.

I really wish I could say my favourites but the whole album just blends really well.
Plus, I mean, well, how awesome is the cover art?
..I would have purchased it on that alone.
