Nothing particularly exciting, just some FUN press-release ripped news. The very top tier of journalistic endeavour.

Wow,
Sword of the Valiant (1984) 0.1/5
I only saw the last twenty minutes or so, but I don’t want to see any more. Sean Connery is the big name in this film. You think they butcher stories now? You should see this. I wanted to wrench my elbows off.

I’ve been on holidays for the past 2 weeks or so, and I’m starting to settle in to that routine. Moreso than I ever have before. The last few days I’ve been going to bed at 4, and last night at about 5. I just keep on thinking of things to do late at night.

This is a problem, because as of tomorrow I have to start waking up at 8 again. Oh dear.

It’s raining at the moment. That’s pretty nice, I’ve put my car out the front to wash all the salt off. I better remember to put it out the back again or it will just get covered in salt again. I was a bit lazy with lunch today, I went and got take away.

Mum and Dad have been away in France for about 2 weeks now, they’re having a lovely time. I nearly achieved my goal of getting scurvy but my amazing dinner last night just pushed me further away. I caught a huge trout at the farm yesterday, that was good. So I spent about an hour cooking it up with mad stuffing and an orange sauce. It was very exciting. I even did vegetables.

I’m playing Little King’s Story to review for Vooks at the moment. It’s a rad game. I feel sorry for my poor villagers every time I get some of them killed, especially the original crew. But then, they magically wash up on the beach! That’s really nice, but it doesn’t happen all the time.

I had some rad ideas for stories and whatnot in the bath last night. I like having baths.

I did a rap about my character Magwillihir the Slug at Angus K’s place last week. He’s been practising his recording on pro tools so I just freestyled things about how I’m not a snail (I ain’t got a shell on my back, but I’m still keeping this on track). We tried doing a Medieval Fayre rap (only a week away!) but I lost ‘the flow’ so it failed pretty hard.

I realise that lately content has been somewhat lame compared to the awe inspiring Travels, but I’m going to remedy that soon, I hope.

LOVE

For uni this week I have to intervene in a text. Write it from another point of view, change the genre, the feel, something like that. Just something I knocked up in the car before I left… It was a sort of counterpoint to one of Judith Wright’s anti-war poems (specifically the pacific). It’s about a soldier who really likes war. And, of course, it’s unfinished.

—

The rising sun shall become the falling star,
For I will grab it from the sky and cast it into the pacific
And it will burst like the bursting bombs. Read the rest of this entry »

Another one I wrote bleary eyed and annoyed I couldn’t sleep. So it must be good! Just one possible end to the Hardling legacy. I’ll get it sometime…

This is a world gone mad.

Well, I assume so. I don’t know any other worlds I can compare it to, really.
