Can’t help but think about all the Vans-wearing Skrillex fans that used to rip on people for skateboarding and listening to From First To List.

jsb asked: Tell me about it bro. Bagged Mass Effect 2 the other day, but I can't justify anything else. Have you got Skyrim?!
The Steam sale is so good and I’m so fucking broke.

Deadline looming. Still haven’t got a final cut of the film. Been told my music doesn’t fit (it’s true, it doesn’t). Fuckloads of written work to do. Haven’t had more than three hours sleep a night for weeks.
My lecturers play for a band that projects a video of two slugs fucking over the wall behind them.
Facebook stalking all the pregnant girls I went to school with to see how ugly their babies are.
Found a barber who does student cuts for ten quid and was an apprentice with Vidal Sassoon. Awesome.

Tumblr, what is the fucking weird smell in my room that’s been here for weeks?
INTERTIA CREEPS
Fell asleep for half an hour. Woke up. It’s been the same for weeks.
On the plus side, I wrapped shooting on my first university film today. I opted to do sound and lighting, since I haven’t done either properly before I started studying here, and it was good fun.
I spent two hours hanging out of a loft hatch though. Fuck awkward angles of shooting, and trying to keep the boom out...

Might be playing Michael Stipe in a film my friend is doing. Nerves.
jsb asked: Drive was a let down man! Maybe it was because I watched it online on a laptop, but there was less substance than polystyrene packaging man.
UPDATES ON MY LIFE AND ALL KINDS OF SHIT
I’m at university. Whoever thinks studying film is easy can fuck right off.
Drive is the best film you will see all year, closely followed by Tyrannosaur.
Bon Iver are remarkable live.
The only appropriate way to spend a student loan is on vinyl and shoes.
Everybody has chlamydia but me.
I lost half a stone.
I regained half a stone.
Within 48 hours of moving in to the house,...
I have internet or the first time in a month. brb, porn.

Free vinyl
thesaddestlandscape:
ok, as promised- will give away more vinyl today, but this time on Tumblr. I have 1 more copy of the 1st press of the You Will Not Survive LP up for grabs. To keep it fair, just reblog this post today and will pick someone at random to give it to who reblogs. Just a little way to show thanks to everyone for supporting our band. It’s appreciated. Cheers.

Guardian & Observer Book Swap →
I went through a stage where I left books on trains with a note written in the front sleeve. Most of them ended with something like “please do this yo’self dawg”. Not heard of anyone finding them, which sucks, because I left nearly 25 books. Anyway, this is a much better idea. I’m going to leave a copy of Bertrand Russell- Has Man A Future at Liverpool Street station on...
Just had the best/most pretentious idea for a post-rock album. Start one with me: we can get off on reverb.
GRANDFATHER CLOCK
Today I got a visit from my Grandad.
We don’t really speak at all and never have: him and Dad didn’t start getting along until a few years ago, and even now the relationship is pretty forced. He came over and awkwardly handed me a card congratulating me on going to uni and whatnot.
He then, surprisingly, apologised for “not showing any interest”, said he was proud of me...
Scanned in a load of film to put on Facebook that consists of nothing but me and friends being drunk. Then had the horrible realisation that I only hang out with 5 or 6 people. Commence wallowing.
TO DO LIST FOR UNI
Get council tax exemption certificate
Get Virgin Media Student Package sorted and connected
Find out how the fuck we are actually meant to pay bills
Iron all my clothes
Limit my DVD selection to a number below 50
Reinstall all Steam games, and get Offline Mode to work (!!!!!!!!)
Re-string guitar
Clean vinyl
Select photographs for my bedroom wall
Wank quieter
Not murder...
NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF
Got back from Berlin in the wee hours of this morning. We got followed by skinheads all the time, encountered hipster squat parties, asked everybody what the German is for “Show me where yer piss from”, and almost didn’t make the flight there because my friend was doing a big poo.

I miss you.
I’d like to be able to order stuff and have it actually look like it does in the fucking photograph. “Cranberry Red” is American Apparel’s way of describing what I would call “Fuck Me, That’s Pretty Purple Mate”.
Not growing my hair out my quiff is too fucking good.
Converge have re-signed to Epitaph, pissing off bro’s everywhere.
