I was watching some skate videos yesterday, which I tend to enjoy based on what music is playing in the background, rather than from any appreciation of what's actually happening on screen. That's not to say I don't enjoy watching people skateboard, and occasionally getting hurt, but that doesn't mean I ever have any idea what's going on, or why people are shouting and screaming about someone grinding a pole or whatever. But it's usually a nice form of music video. I understand rollerblading even less, but here's one with a particularly awesome backing track:
I just spend the best part of half an hour looking for a good Pavement video, because I'm playing Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain almost non stop at the moment, but eventually decided on this instead, just to show I'm still down with the kids.
I went to the library yesterday and got some work done in solitude, which was good; should be going again later, but my parents are also coming over to look for safari stuff in preperation for a trip to Kenya. No, seriously. Everyone know that Dundee is the safari capital of the world and all the great explorers come here to gear up before heading out on the savannah.
My auntie called this morning as well, I felt kind of bad because I pretty much had to tell her not to bother coming over because I was too busy. Usually I like to encourage her to think that I'd rather see her than my mum (and, in a way, I like my mum to think that too, because it makes her feel jealous and then I tend to get more free money etc). But I do have rather a lot of shit to be getting on with.
Here's a clip from a film Matthew and I were watching last night - it's worth watching just for the end, where Vincent Price tells his guards to give someone 5 gold coins for the "entertaining jest" of burning someone alive in a monkey suit:
Cheerio!
