I loathe people.

Directors Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are warning that the film industry is in danger of “meltdown”.

They say it will become increasingly difficult for them to get smaller films into theatres because Hollywood is relying on big budget releases.

Hilarious. This is just…stupid. They really are a bit ignorant.

Packing.

 I don’t know how I have so much stuff. I really didn’t think I did. And it still doesn’t seem like I have a lot, but it seems to take up a lot of space.

 But I keep throwing things away, and I still have loads.

 I don’t know how this happens.

I just hope it all fits in the room I’m moving to.

 I love me some community, and I’ve been re-watching it as I pack. But I can’t be the only person who hears the similarity between this:

and this:

 It’s not a bad thing. I just wondered if I was imagining the similarity.

Also, if you don’t watch community you should.

…would be an amazing parody. And it would be hilarious.

But it’s real, and that’s sad.

In the news today is an article about this new sugar substitute stevia and how it’s becoming increasingly popular. There’s a quote from this knob saying why it’s great and popular:

“The big deal about stevia is that it has a natural source,” says food writer and TV presenter Stefan Gates.

You know what else has a natural source? SUGAR. THAT CANNOT BE YOUR ARGUMENT.

Idiot.

…That doesn’t make it any better. In fact I’d say it’s worse.

So oral sex didn’t give him cancer, but does give it to others. Oh my glob…throat cancer is going to become the new glandular fever (or mono for my american brethren), but it’ll be known as the oral disease, not the kissing disease.

 So there I was reading the BBC News today. I like to look at the most read headlines, they’re in a lil box at the edge of the page. I saw this:

And I thought;

‘Holy shit, that’s interesting news!, I wonder what kind of studies they had to do to prove this.’

So I clicked it thinking it’s cool news from the world of science and BAM:

…not really!

 I don’t know about you, but I do not trust Michael Douglas as a source of medical knowledge and not just because he his name is made of two first names. I even trust the BBC less now.

 I’ve mentioned misleading headlines before, but this takes the biscuit.

 Yeah I really don’t understand why there needs to be a separate bit in the status for that.

Don’t peoples statuses usually say what they’re up to and how they’re feeling anyway? What else are you supposed to say?

 I’m so just going to be a dick about this and use it to say exactly what I already said.

I’m looking forward to this.

 At some point I want to have a ”Let’s Pretend We’re Giants” dinner party, where everyone’s meals comes on small plates, and we drink from little glasses, and only eat mini food. Lot’s of it, but mini versions.

 It could be like…Devilled Quail Eggs and Poussin and mini new potatoes roasted and all sorts of tiny things!

And I can stomp around and pretend I’m a giant all night. Maybe I could find some kids furniture for everyone to sit on and eat at.

I really want to do this.

 Sexism is real, just saying before folks start accusing me of saying otherwise because they haven’t read the rest of what I’m about to say.

 So I’ve been watching Glee again as kind of a background to revision. Now I love Glee, and we’re not debating whether Glee is a good show or whatever. But I noticed that it seems to be a reoccurring theme that they talk about becoming a real man. Like:

‘you showed me what it means to be a real man’

…or…

‘until I knew you I didn’t have a role model of how to be a real man’

 This is awesome and stuff in that it tries to instill that real men are decent, honourable folks.

 It’s in many other TV shows and movies too, this idea of real men. You can find it all over facebook in those shitty ”Real men do X and don’t do X, share if you agree” things (sickening as they are).

 As I said, it’s great that modern media is trying to show men that they are more than just typical macho-ness like…lifting weights…and…drinking beer…and…growing a moustache?

 OK so I don’t know what typical macho men do.

But then I started thinking about what real women are. If real men are based on these traits and morals and stuff, what makes a real women. As it turns out, real women are defined as having curves.

 End of definition.

 Yeah, I’m not kidding. If you look on the internet, or in magazines or anything really, women are defined strictly by what they look like. There is nothing more…no sorry, that’s a lie, real women are defined by what they look like and the fact that they become mothers.

 This is bullshit. And it’s dangerous.

 As far as I can find there are no arguments against this view of ‘real’ men. There’s no ‘yeah but ALL men are real men’ and I can’t decide if it’s because all men want to be this way or consider they are this way, but there is so much condemnation about ‘real’ women and rightly so.

 It’s realizations like this that just bug the utter fuck out of me. There are no other words. It’s a double standard and it’s based on nothing but nostalgia for inequality based on what (or rather doesn’t) hang between ones legs.

Fuck. That. Shit.

 Now we all know I’m pretty much Sony’s bitch, and I love me some playstation. But with E3 coming up and the next gen consoles being announced, I’m trying to be open minded and stuff.

 But come on Xbox. Not only is calling it the Xbox One just mathematically wrong (I god damn I hate when people do this) but it pretty much just seems to be about everything but games. Also as a side note, the Xbox One will have a Blu-ray drive. That’s gotta hurt.

 Below are the abridged announcements of the Playstation 4 and Xbox One. Despite being piss-takes, I would still rather a playstation. I also don’t want to dog to die. I like dogs, taunting me but getting my hopes all up and shiz only to kill off a dog is just mean.

I’ll have to wait until E3 to really pass judgement, but I really don’t think I can  look past the counting thing.

I would love to see All My Circuits, the robot soap opera from Futurama, as a web series. Episodes could be 2-3mins long and it would be amazing.

Why would it be amazing you might wonder, because then we could get more hilarious quotes such as:

‘Calculon?! But I thought you were-‘

‘Egyptian?’

This needs to happen. Even if Futurama doesn’t get picked up again and stays cancelled for a while, All My Circuits still needs to happen.

Do it for me Futurama, do it for me.

I saw a sign today in the reception of where I live. It said something along the lines of:

Due to the increasing number of parcels being delivered, from next week we will be trailing a new parcel collection system. You may collect parcels between : 11am-13pm and 15pm-16pm.

Currently you can collect you parcels pretty much any time between 7am and like…10pm-ish.

Now stay with me folks, but doesn’t it seem that if there are more things things to collect, reducing the time to collect them in is just stupid?

 Well done.

I decided it was time to visit the doctor today. But first, here’s a few things y’all should know:

Yesterday I slammed my hand in the door. Hurt like fuck, bruised immediately, really painful today but better than yesterday.

I have a trapped nerve in my arm (this is actually the reason I was going).

The other day I kicked the futon and I have a big ole bruise on my foot.

I have mystery bruises on my legs.

My knees are buggered, I’m not sleeping well, I managed to scratch my face and it’s windy as hell today making my hair a mess.

 Given all this I can understand why the nice doctor asked if I was in a relationship, if things at home were going well etc. She did seem a bit confused when I told her I was single and I lived pretty much by myself when I’m here at uni.

  I explained I’m just clumsy and she kind of believed me, then as I was leaving I managed to hit myself in the face with the door. She then said she believed me now.

I’m glad she’s doing her job and stuff, but I’m also slightly offended that I look like I’m being abused.
