tomorrow
Lost Highway at the Filmhouse, with erroneous French subtitles.
So I get to watch this totally amazing film and study at the same time. It’s probably the only work I’ll actually get around to doing this week (God love you, Innovative Sleeping Week) but it all counts.
BLUE VELVET ON TUESDAY I was meant to be going to see Sleigh Bells in Glasgow but this is far more important.

things learnt from tonight
Lavezzi looks like Jimmy Fallon.
Mata is Chelsea’s only really good player.
Chelsea will be in the Champions League longer than Arsenal, even if they don’t win in 3 weeks.
Napoli is awesome, I no longer fear being sent here next year.
WE CAN DO THIS (we can probably not do this).

YAY
Just realised I’m going to Italy tomorrow YAY.
Even if is Naples, scene of my worst holiday ever. But I shall get to test my awesome linguistic skillz, eat what is incontrovertibly the best pizza anywhere in the world (it would be, I guess) and have what is left of my nervous system shredded by Lavezzi and his impressive array of tattoos and Cavani and his lustrous hair. Although, if I am...

I HAVE A WEEK OFF
Still unable to find anyone who can tell me what its purpose actually is but that’s the least of my concerns.
Tomorrow: getting my one-month delayed package from the delivery office (miles away, gah) then down to Lahndan.
Tuesday: NAPOLI. WIBBLE.
Wednesday: Return to safer ground, FUCKING HAWKSMOOR.
Thursday: Back to Edinburgh, do some of French essay, Italian carnival night.
Friday: I...

obfuscation
Saw Field Music last night, would give them all my money if they so wished. If I had any myself, that is.

I’m away for three days and one of my flatmates (as yet unidentified) throws away my mostly-full box of Coco Pops just because I haven’t eaten any since before Christmas. THAT’S NOT UP TO YOU. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT.
I am seriously, I seriously mad about this, perhaps disproportionately so, but I love Coco Pops, I had no other food in the house and it’s too...

so
all my posts seem to start with either so, no or ok. This is of no import, just a boring observation.
Wild At Heart is amazing, but you knew that already. Nic Cage’s broken nose (SPOILER) looks fantastically bulbous on the big screen.
My boyfriend sent me a loooooooooooong text decrying Southampton players and hoping I had a nice day. YEAH WELL I DID so, thanks.
Now I have to be up in...
why
are people sending ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ messages to their friends on Facebook? It’s not freaking Christmas.
My highly romantic day consists of finishing a report on the Fifth Republic (my complex clauses are amazing) safe in the knowledge that where I have to hand it in doesn’t close until 9:30, watching Wild at Heart on a big screen where it belongs, hoping...

So we all know Skins is shit these days, but they’re still killing it with the music.
Desire by Anna Calvi over the end credits, gimme some skin.
That woman’s range is incredible.

The Tree of Life should win every Oscar →
As someone in the comments put it, I’m deeply pretentious so I freaking loved this film.
Give me a film this beautiful to look at, one with an admittedly overblown but genuinely heartfelt message, excellent performances and DINOSAURS over The Help any day. I’m glad it was at least nominated, as Hollywood should seek to make more films like this and reward truly excellent directors...

Microsoft Word, stop trying to correct my perfect French grammar, if I know how to do one thing in this stupid language, it’s conjugate verbs. Especially easy ones like avoir. Stop trying to change the third-person singular into a preposition. STOP.

in which I perpetuate stereotypes
I went to the College of Art today, for the craic (and to give people advice like the benevolent soul I am), and I know that you might want to think the whole thing about art schools being full of unbearable hipsters in terrible clothes and acting so cool is an exaggeration (I like to think this as it’s difficult to believe humanity can be so wrong) but unfortunately I can only confirm it to...

So having won all the Baftas (no hyperbole here), safe to assume The Artist will clean up in a couple of weeks? GOOD.
Still baffled by lack of Oscar love for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, a better film than The Help, The Descendants, War Horse and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (which I haven’t seen yet, but the book was manipulative shit, can’t imagine the film being much better,...

OH GOD.
Anyone want a ticket for Napoli v Chelsea on Feb 21? Flights and swish hotel included. You can have it for free, I’m not bothered.
WHY.

AGAIN. HOW. I was basically on a vitamin C drip this week.
Despite my fragile state, Eraserhead is on at the Filmhouse tonight, I can’t not go, so other people will just have to deal with getting infected, bleuuuuurrrgh.

shortformblog:
At No. 3 this week is Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Leonard Cohen with the debut of “Old Ideas” (41,000). It’s the icon’s highest charting album ever and best sales week since SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. The beloved artist’s new album is his first studio effort since 2004’s “Dear Heather,” which debuted and peaked at No. 131 (9,000 in its first week).
Oh yeah, Lana...
