Now Playing: Sepultura--Straighthate
The music was not my choice.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Yesterday Stephen posted some pictures of us, but I got "pissy" and told him to take them off. Sorry.
For the gals out there: Throw away your lipstick! It's all about Lipgloss...no worries about applying without a mirror...no funny looks when a glossy sheen is left on the rim of your coffee mug or cigarrette (not that I would know). It's subtle, fruity and fun. Buy a high quality gloss that won't dry out your lips, and you won't regret it.
Ok--onto smarter topics: Are there any Red Dwarf fans out there? We are currently battleing through the show season by season, and I must say, I am enjoying it. This is a surprise to me, because when seeing the show in Canada (pre-move to England) I thought the show was for Mega Nerds. I didn't get it. Now that I've lived in this unhappy country, I can see that in a country filled with Mega Nerds, it is simply a show about contemporary culture, and therefore find it entertaining and amusing.
[Stephen here: From my MA class notes: Interesting cultural thing: "In Canada: Love of Montey Python = nerd. In UK it's standard cultural practise." Read into it what you will.]
ON a literary front, it's all about Africa. Jane, my co-worker from South Africa, with whom we spent Christmas, leant us two books : "Disgrace" by J.M. Coetezee and "Don't Lets Go to the Dogs Tonight" by Alexandra Fuller which I have/am fully enjoying. It has given valuable insight into the shamefull behaviour of British Colonists, and their children who must try to integrate and create a new hybrid culture. Tough and humbling.
[Stephen here: I'm reading "Chopper," "Chopper 2," and "Chopper 3" by Mark Brandon "Chopper" Read. The autobiographies of an Australian toecutter whose covered with tattoos, plays Russian roulette for fun and makes his opponents chew on razor blades at knife point. Dumb and violent.]
So we have heralded the new year in with our predicatble cocktail of smart and dumb. Or asshole and not-asshole (as Stephen so eloquently has requested me to state). As we like to think of our existence in Woking as: Cultured Yobs
[Yob=white trash in Britania)
So, after much arm twisting, her are those pictures:
