Richard’s been commenting on our mutual appreciationobsession of Monsieur Kevin Smith‘s fine motion picture works. Nooch. So how did that come about? To be honest, I’ve no idea … I remember seeing Clerks in Virgin Megastore years ago, and thinking “ooh, this looks good”. Upon watching it, my initial reaction was totally vindicated. I loved…

work, sleep, work, sleep, leuchars, sleep, work, sleep, work and we’re here already. Incidentally, I caught up with some of the September 11th stuff that’s been on television the past week, and managed to watch 9/11 — I dare anyone to watch this and walk away with a cold heart about the whole thing.

Weeeeeeell, thanks to someone who emailed me, called — c r a i g – 🙂 — I’ve wasted ¥2200 of my hard earned cash (about £11) and ordered God Hates Japan, which you may remember, I got a bit narked off about because I couldn’t find it on amazon.jp … but lo, someone has…

via Michele … “13 people a year are killed by vending machines falling on them.” Time to ban vending machines? They are of course the dark horse of the criminal world, you know. Alternately, a “TILT!” light and buzzer, akin to a pinball machine, might be useful. Early warning systems always rock.
