OH MY GOD YOU GUY'S IT'S READING WEEK!!!!
oh no wait...I go to the school too hardcore for reading week. So Instead I spent the weekend getting ahead on Chaucer, Art and Harun Farocki's hate-on for Vietnam....
But what I really did was:
Beat Resident Evil 4:
I have to say, the game ended with eye stabbings, jet skis and sexual propositioning from the President's daughter...there's not much more a young bloke can ask for.
Oh and I never have to save Ashley from bear traps ever again!
Why don't you watch where your fucking going IN A FIELD FULL OF ZOMBIES you stupid bitch.
Vice TV:
As much as I, admittedly, love love love to be too cool for/guiltily pleasure myself to Vice Magazine I'll come right out and say their teeny kind of youtube by Spike Jonze is brilliant, funny, interesting and completely time consuming. And everyone who makes it comes off as slightly smarter and less of a hipster douche so it's not like holding up a terrible mirror to myself every time I watch it.
Project Catwalk Season 2:
The best part of British t.v. is I never know when it's new or not so sometimes I get surprised and end up getting like...4-5 episodes of a show when i realize it started a while ago. It pleasantly visually lubricated my Sunday work-avoidance.
For those of you who don't watch it offers the following which American, though I still love it, does not:
- British reality classiness
- great soundtrack of actual liscenced music
- All sorts of uncensored genitals
- In-studio design helper who constantly throws hissy fits
- constant drunkenness
and
Julian Macdonald, the only celebrity judge of a reality show who sometimes is mean just for shits. He calls people fat and gay and made a model cry and leave. So basically he's what the celebrity judges of other shows would be like if they were acting like themselves and and not being paid to be slightly nicer.
Casino Royale:
No one informed me that the real dynamic tension in Casino Royal rested on the internal sexual struggle within each viewer.
On the one hand you've got Daniel Craig's badassness and awkwardly muscled body clearly to be looked at and thought "man that dude must work out!" or, failing that, man pleasuring.
And then you have Eva Green and her "regular hot girl made to look super hot" good looks and amorphous, ever cup sizes to suit the need, breasts.
Way to smash hetero-normative filming James Bond by showing us just as much nude man as sexy near-nude woman...and they talk about cocks a lot...and you never even see a lady nipple...
By the end you're less worried about Le Chiffre and more about whether you should go to that couples bathhouse on hastings or just take the quick jaunt up to H2O on Davie.
Death Note
Teenage boy finds a notebook that lets him murder people. Teenage boy decides to murder people.
This sounds like a plotline I wouldn't care about but , Mark Hayes was right, it's completely brilliant and the first 18 or so episodes are free on youtube. It's completely addictive and interesting and...man...a cartoon testing your moral compass constantly in bite-sized magic murder doses.
Year of the Pig
Everyone loves pigs, right? awesome!
okay...that last one wasn't great

Long time reader, first time caller.
Just wanted to point out that your Reading Week was FAR more productive than mine, as noted. I think I may have out eaten you. Which sounds perverse, but really just refers to the ammount of nobake cheesecakes I ate, and the fact I found out you can get the filling pre-made in a tub like margarine. Please help me.
ok, so i want to get a pet pig and name him bacon
is that cruel?
