Guerilla Drive-Ins

Now this is awesome!
Start Your Own Guerilla Drive-In
Guerilla Drive-Ins are springing up everywhere from LA to NY, in big cities and little towns. People are rejecting the idea of the $10 movie (twenty with popcorn and a soda) and embracing the idea of the do-it-yourself movie free to the community.
The Guerilla Drive-In collective is a loosely-knit groups of folks who love movies, are involved in radical change, and are interested in reclaiming public and unused spaces. We maintain a master list of films that we've all contributed our favorite subversive movies to. We are constantly adding to and subtracting films from the master list

Young men are increasingly turning to self-harm in response to abuse and confusion about their role in society, doctors have said.
The warning comes as a new set of guidelines is issued urging doctors and nurses to treat self-harmers with the same respect as any other patient.

Anti-social commentary #2

Have you ever noticed on the trains, underground and docklands light rail that during busy periods whenever you want to disembark there is (usually) a large group of people crowding round the doors waiting to push their way on. I mean it is logical to think that if you give all the people on board the carriages enough space to get off they will clear out that much more quickly than if they are only let off one at a time through a narrow corridor constructed of irritating, impatient people that ignore the repeated requests to let passengers disembark before trying to get on.

I think that I will start carrying a cactus whenever I use public transport – it may work better than Moses at the Red Sea!

The fairy feller's masterstroke

I really want to see this painting in real life. It was painted by a mad Victorian artist named Richard Dadd who murdered his father and was locked up for life. For more about him go here.
The painting itself hangs somewhere in the Tate Gallery.

Fahrenheit 9/11

Saw it last night - everything good about it has already been said so I wont rehash that stuff. I will say however that I am glad not to be an American after seeing that. The film was funny and harrowing and well-worth seeing. I will own a copy when it gets released on dvd. Also the soundtrack was awesome!

I am a normal human worm baby!

and if you don't know where that quote comes from then shame on you!
Invader Zim is awesome! I have just watched a couple of episodes with my Kiwi friend Natalie. It was created by Jhonen Vasquez a vastly underrated cartoonist - he also created Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and Squee amongst other no less worthy characters. But Invader Zim ROCKS! There is no way it is for children which is funny seeing as it was shown by Nickelodeon a cartoon network that caters to the childrens market. Sadly only two seasons were filmed before it was cancelled for being too different, but hey at least I have it and love it as it deserves (sad??? moi??? Nooooooo now why would you think that?)

Absinthe

I got me a bottle of the green fairy - Yeah baby! Spoon and all, no glass though but I have plenty of those.

Pet hate (one of a few - not too many)

When I am walking at a nice pace down the street, at work or where-ever and all of a sudden the person or persons in front of me come to a dead stop (usually blocking the only free bit of walking space to the front) and dithers around or does a bit of window-shopping or whatever. That really gets to me and it happens with frightening regularity.

Hell is coming back

Hell is returning – the artwork destroyed in the Saatchi blaze is being recreated

"We're going to make a second version, a more extensive, updated `Hell,' " Dinos said. "There are a lot of things that didn't go into the first `Hell.' This has given us a second opportunity to revisit it."

Their new "Hell," the brothers said, will incorporate the many world events since the original's completion in 2000: 9/11, the war in Iraq, and more generally torture and terrorism. "It all kind of seems so obvious now," Jake said. "We're looking two years down the line. We won't allow anyone to see it until it's made."

I think that hell being destroyed in an unplanned fire is hilarious -

Satan: "Hey Beelzebub, what the heck are you doing smoking, don't you know how flammable this whole place is?"

Beelzebub: "Ok, Ok I'll stub it out!"

Sound of flames roaring

Satan: "Noooooooooooooooooo!"

Thursday

So anyway I am back at work today – tired! I really must start going to bed at a civilised time so my fault it is then. At Welling again, was at Thamesmead yesterday morning - talk about concrete wasteland. It was a good morning though!

Had a meeting in the afternoon about Chartering (yes believe it or not even Librarians can have chartered status) then stayed late to work on a proposal I am putting together for online sources in the library. I am currently designing a reference website for the library, the working model can be found on my links section, it is still in the design phase but it does work.

What can I look forward to today? - stock-work and lots of it, withdrawing and sending books to other branches in the borough (it is an exciting life that I lead), also if I am lucky a bit of work on the reference enquiries desk… who knows?

Sadism & Masochism explained (Amy this is for you)

Sadism is the sexual pleasure or gratification in the infliction of pain and suffering upon another person. Medically it is considered to be a paraphilia. The word is derived from the Marquis de Sade, a prolific french writer of sadistic novels.

The counterpart of sadism is masochism, the sexual pleasure or gratification of having pain or suffering inflicted upon the self, often consisting of sexual fantasies or urges for being beaten, humiliated, bound, tortured, or otherwise made to suffer, either as an enhancement to or a substitute for sexual pleasure. The name is derived from the 19th century author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, known for his novel Venus in Furs that dealt with highly masochistic themes.

The words are now commonly used to describe personality traits in an emotional, rather than sexual sense. Although it is quite different from the original meaning, this usage is not entirely inaccurate. There is quite frequently a strong emotional aspect to the sexual desires, taking the form of a need for domination or submission—the desire to be controlled, or to control another. It is not unusual for this element to overtake or supplant entirely the desire for pain, known individually as algolagnia.

It is often agreed that this desire for dominance or submission is in fact the driving force behind sadomasochism, with the giving and receiving of pain acting only as an active stimulation to reinforce those feelings. This view is supported by the nature of sadomasochistic behavior. A masochist does not take pleasure in any form of pain, only in pain received under the pretext of enforcing authority, and typically only that of a sexual nature. Likewise, a sadist usually only takes pleasure in pain that is inflicted for reasons of punishment and control, and most often for the indirect pleasure of the masochist. Many sadomasochistic activities involve only mild pain or discomfort. Often they are focused primarily on roleplay.

Anti-social commentary #1

I think that the parents of children that indulge in anti-social behaviour should be beaten - not the children themselves it is not their fault that they are little (or not-so-little) bastards. We should go back to the source - THE PARENTS, each time a child runs riot burning things, stealing and being generally offensive a special squad of hand-picked and duly elected members of the public (after all this is a democracy) should go round the the parents' house with a nice stick (we should make use of the rule of thumb). Personally I feel that after a few good whippings parents will start to take an active interest in what their children do and begin being proper parents.

After a few years we should see an improvement; but let us not stop there we should also hold M.P.'s, councillors and even the Prime Minister accountable for what they do in office. If we catch them lying, cheating or doing any one of the many things that our elected officials are prone to then again we call on a duly appointed squad of 'Public whips' to set up a public floggery and whip their asses! A brief note I think that woman MP's should be whipped by women and their male counterparts should be whipped by men - this is to prevent any complaints of sexual discrimination. The politicians all receive fat salaries and appear to be accountable to no-one - I have no problem with what they are paid but if they are naughty they should be held accountable by the people - ie us! Let them beware for the people's justice will be armed with a big stick!

Hey cool I just tried this:

You're a Klingon! Strong and self-confident, you
are a warrior through and through.

The Relief of Welling

Heyyyyyyyy guess what! I am on relief (big surprise). I really don’t mind I enjoy queries – the more difficult the better I t makes it all the more interesting well it does usually sometimes you get a really bolshy type who is not interested in talking and will just rant. They make my trigger finger itch (it is a reason why librarians are not allowed to carry side-arms at work. (Note the last one was a joke!)

Tuesday

Yes I'm back - back again. Two days with no internet access I can't stand it - no I am not addicted only slightly crazed. I love my online access but only use it for good (as long as it is good for me). At Welling Library today may be on until eight maybe not... still waiting they dont like using me as relief only a sa last resort. I was once told that when they ask for me they are scraping the bottom of the barrel but hey I dont mind - at least I know where I am in life!

So on to work, more later!

Extreme Body Art

I held my heart in my hands for 10 minutes while the cameras captured the event from every angle.  The cameras filmed the event from every angle and fibre-cams were inserted into my chest cavity to capture the stretched blood vessels that kept my heart connected to my body.
 
Gently I pressed the first of three surgical steel disks onto the exposed muscle. The specially prepared superglue made it adhere to the surface immediately, quickly I added the other two, each inscribed with the time and day of this momentous occasion. 

 The surgeon moved in to aid me in reinserting my heart into the chest cavity, her eyes bored into mine – I could feel her anger.  She felt that this was a waste of valuable operating time and a misuse of medical technology.  It was a pity that she had no appreciation of art and the boundaries that today I had single-handedly extended.

Sherbert Lemons

Just had my first one - not earth shattering I know but hey after years of reading about them I finally got to suck one (just hit the sherbert) mmmmmmmmmmm! 
 
I know I know - my life must be pretty sad if I blog about which sweets I have but hey... y'know I do it because I can.  At least I am not talking about the weather (overcast and getting dark with a few rumblings of thunder - in case anyone is interested, this is England after all) whoa just started raining! Sad sad sad!

Saturday

Hooray another day in the library (most people go for fun or study - I go to work).  The world would be a better place if people would just ssshh! but nooooo... always mobile phones and shouted conversations I recommend beatings! 
 
I wish!
 
A bit quiet for first thing - the public is probably sleeping in.  Well must work will be back later! 

First post

Bored - created blog hooray not bored anymore going home soon.  Will be creative tonight four images dance in my head they must be drawn on paper as I am drawn to them!
