Its 12:41am...do you know where your kids are?

Yeah, I don't know what that title is about either. I'm stupid what can I say? Get over it. Don't condescend me, motherf!$*!r. I'll fu%$!*£ kill you. Who said that? That's right, it was Brad Pitt. What film is it from? Huh?Huh? Smart guys! Yeah, you all probably know the answer anyway. I'm tired, it's 12:46am and I don't have enough sense to just go to bed so this will all sound a bit like gibberish, most likely.
So! I've been made unredundant. I've been deredundasized. I'm back in the record shop. Working full-time as The Constantines sing. The shop is under a different name now though, since the old company went out of business and was purchased by a company from Glasgow, Scotland. So it's bye bye Musiczone, hello FOPP. Yep, thats not a spelling mistake. From my experience shoppin in the past, FOPP record shops are kind of like musiczone only good. Well, we'll just have to wait and see.
The best thing about this surprising result is that I no longer have to saunter back to the old soap factory. Thank Jesus. Well, thank FOPP really.
Ummm...what else? I don't know. Its been rainin all day. Tomorrow's my day off and I'm gonna start the day with three pork and apple sausages, two eggs and two slices of toast, washed down with a nice cold glass of orange juice(the one with the bits in it) Then I'm gonna put my feet up watch a french film by Jean-Luc Godard called le mepris. Brigitte Bardot is in it. I've never watched a film with her in it before. Then I'm gonna watch a Japanese film by 'Beat' Takeshi Kitano called Zatoichi. I'm a big fan of Beat Takeshi, I thought Violent Cop and Boiling Point were brilliant and Zatoichi is supposed to be a masterpiece. Its about a blind wanderer who happens to be a master swordsman, he ends up having to help out a remote village fight off a ruthless gang of bad guys. Sounds kind of similar to Seven Samurai. I can't wait. Then, yes, there's more! I'm gonna go to the gym and give the guns a good work out, and then!!!!Then!!! I'm gonna come home and make pancakes!!! Cause its Pancake Tuesday! Where the hell does that originate anyway? Whats the story behind good ol Pancake Tuesday? Can anyone tell me? Probably not, I have a sneaking suspicion I'm the only one who'll ever read this. It'll be a good day either way.
I stumbled upon a great record the other day. Its called A Thousand Songs. Its by a canadian guy called Jim Guthrie. He's also the singer in a great band called Royal City. Their album Alone at the microphone is one of my all-time favs which makes it all the more perplexing that I've only discovered the lead singers solo work now, years later. But boy is it good. Its all recorded in his bedroom, and its kind of acoustic, noisy,...ummm, you'll have to hear it to understand. You can check it him out on the Three Gut Records link on the left. He's sort of a more accesible The Dinner is Ruined. Maybe. I don't know. Like I said earlier, I'm stupid. But incredibly good looking. Ha,ha,ha, seriously though, have you seen me?
I've also come across this great hip hop record by a group called Cannibal Ox. It sounds like something from 1993 but apparently is only a few years old. Its exciting stuff.
Just watched the Season premiere of Rescue Me this evening too. Its gotta be hands down the best thing on television. Even better than Lost. And I love Lost. The last scene of the show tonight when Dennis Leary is trying to save that little girl was poetry. Pure poetry. You have to watch it to really know what I mean. Its funny and sad and shocking and realistic and surreal. Everything a great tv show should be. Speaking of which, I just remembered, I also watched this fantastic british comedy show called Black Book. It stars Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey and has a host of great cameo appearances, tonight they had Nick Frost and David Walliams. I think it was first on back around 1998-99. It really is something special. Weird and funny and weird. I think the best thing the British do is comedy. They could teach the Americans a thing or two about comedy. And the Americans could use the help. Have you seen Ugly Betty? Jesus Murphy. Or Two and a half men? Has any character on that show ever said anything that was even remotely funny. Maybe, but then Charlie Sheens horrible comic timing probably screwed it all up. At least they'll always have Scrubs and the greatest show on earth to fall back on. You all know I'm talkin bout The Simpsons. And in your hearts you all know I speak the truth.

I'm goin to bed. Nite nite. Sleep tight.
