Music, games, movies, whatever! Playing , and reading (based on a famous Japanese novel). Both are brilliant! Lucky right now. (Now watching the Big Lebowski on tv) |

there's already threats for this, mister! |

Yeah and they’re too fucking long. Cheer up, not everything has to be “in proper order” and regulated for the well being of a functioning and healthy society, BIG! What are you reading, what are you watching? Do you play games? |
||||||||

Also a lack of a search function etc etc |

It’s good to let go sometimes. Old, thousand post threads don’t represent this place anymore. |

gosh big you’ve become too obsessed with politics and ruling. You’ve soiled my lighthearted thread with your rules, and I’ve lost all hope. |

oh yeah and i watched synecdoche, new york which was awesome, a synopsis would be pointless as the film is off in it's own little world but it's well worth yer time if you haven't seen it |

Playing: broken sword 5 (second time around - maybe I’ll finish it this time) + just had a predictably short Rimworld session - as usual everyone became depressed and idle and/or starved Reading: Asimov - the gods themselves (was cheap on amazon - thanks bookbub) Watching: Maniac (Azumi is amazing) |

Still reading Age of Anger by Pankaj Mishra, a dense and difficult book full of painful truths. Watching Mimic - directors cut - love dat movie, baby! Listening to Astrid Sonne - Human Lines |

I always read many books simulatenously. Books I'm reading for the first time right now: Don DeLillo: Zero K Martin Heidegger: The Event Jakob Böhme: Aurora Raine Maria Rilke: The Book of Poverty and Death Then - besides that - I'm constantly re-reading parts of books I've read many times before. Books are made for 'cyclical' reading it seems to me. The idea that you open a book, read it from start to finish, and then put it away, seems bizarrely wrong to me. |

Reading: WTF? by Robert Peston. In one of my interminable tales of "Very light brushes with Celebrities" Mr Peston sat next to me on the bus once. I was, to my shame, drinking a can of cider at the time. He ducked in and sat next to me after some other guy, who must of worked with once, tried to corner him, and Peston claimed he was a bit busy and had some emails to reply to. But I think it was all a ruse because he actually really wanted to sit next to me. Playing: I am playing the bonus mini games you get on Resident Evil IV, once you've finished it, on my PS2. While drinking cider. Music: I don't actively listen to music any more, certainly not "Collapse EP". I listen to spain's RNE Radio Clásica station online. Less talking than BBC Radio 3 and a better selection than Classic FM. While drinkng cider. |

I'm reading this, what I believe is, an OCR'd page from , which reads as if some acolyte of Cthulhu had a blog.

Made me think of rather great short story. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It definitely influenced a lot of writers. (It’s only seven pages) |
||||||||
|
|

Ah yes, I recall Twilight Zone had an episode based on it, but I think some French lot filmed it. They get away with it because I don't think there's any dialogue. I was thinking about it the other day, tbh. Though, hanging is never far from my mind. Good story! |

Speaking of "French films", have you seen "The Kidnapping of Michel Houellebecq" ( L'enlèvement de Michel Houellebecq) ? I might watch it later on Amazon, only £3.49... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Ooh had neve even heard of it, sounds fun! Might have to Held it out also! Yeah that short story clearly influenced the (brilliant) movie Jacob’s Ladder. |

just finished reading Priestdaddy by Patricia Lockwood; mostly about a part of her life, but also about her Dad, who suddenly found God whilst onboard a submarine and being subjected to a VHS of 'The Excorcist' about 70 times. He later converted to catholicism and became a catholic priest with a wife and kids. |

slightly disapointed with the last Bojack Horseman season. but i'm not sure: maybe it's natural, where it is now (Bojack is the best running show) Bring me to the second best: Better Call Saul. have to wait first to see how the season plays out |
