Merry Christmas, or according to the predictive text function in my phone, messy Christmas (I’ve also heard it has a poignant take on the word Smirnoff). Officially, it was the swearingest Christmas ever, much to Mum’s chagrin. Ate lots. Got cool stuff. Sang karaoke.
Christmas lunch. I’m taking the photo, and Joobs is trying not to be in it.
On Boxing Day we went to see King Kong which was good, but very long.
According to the title of this post, I saw The Fauves at the Rob Roy Hotel on Saturday night, along with Nao, Robert and Rosie. They played some old favourites, along with some semi-old songs that I can’t recall hearing live before, peppered with a couple of duds (I think it’s time to drop ‘Ticket to the Big Time’, and ‘Nairobi Nights’ from the live set).
Although the show wasn’t remarkable, and certainly not the best I’ve seen them, I was very pleased to hear they are in the process of completing their 8th studio album.
Ever the opportunist, I shot off an ambitious email to The Fauves via their website, offering my services to design the cover of the, as yet, unreleased album. I’m expecting no reply, but if anything comes of it, I’ll post an update.
Also, Robert and I are to be mentioned in the next diary entry on TheFauves.com. We’ll see…
Check out this mad update on two films I’ve seen recently. You can leave comments and we can discuss current cinematic trends, and the state of popular culture as a whole.
I know I go on about how much I hate Harry Potter, but I nonetheless went to see Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire last week. Strangely, the hatred I have for the books (mostly because of it’s phenomenal popularity with the adult set), doesn’t so much translate to the films, which I can actually quite enjoy.
Most interesting for me was the fact that I spotted Jarvis Cocker in the film. Upon later investigation I found that seemingly everybody knew about this ‘supergroup’ but me.
Nao and I also saw Thumbsucker a couple of weeks ago, and we both enjoyed it very much. If anyone wants to discuss it, you’re welcome to leave a comment.
Several complaints have been received that updates are not being made regularly enough to this blog. Well, here you go. Nao’s mum is going OS for Christmas, so we had Christmas dinner early. We were all feeling over-tired, and a bit sickly from the night before, so it even felt like Christmas.
The reason we’re all pissing ourselves is because we were over-tired, and the camera was being extremely funny
I found it funny that we had Christmas dinner at Sena’s, despite the fact he doesn’t celebrate it. He even had a Christmas tree that plays a song — Our tree isn’t even up!
