Punk Chicks Dig Al

STABILISING

Because the Halifax are so awesome, I was immediately approved online for an increased overdraft to pay the bill.

OH AWESOME

Remember the fun I had with my tax return on Christmas Eve?

I just got a letter from HM Revenue and Customs telling me that I should have been paying back my student loan all of last year, but my employer only handled the last few months, and so, the 700 GBP/1400 USD tax bill still stands.

I rang them up, and they totally confirmed it.

I’m gonna head out to the bank and see if I can pick up a loan, otherwise my laptop will have to end up on eBay.

OH POOP THIS SUCKS REAL BAD.

Twitter

I joined Twitter. I don’t know why.

Cloverfield

Okay, here’s the thing about ‘Cloverfield’.

It isn’t a bad movie… but it isn’t great. I can’t even call it good. It’s just… there.

I spent the last month or so trying to avoid spoilers, and you know what? In the end, there’s nothing to spoil. There is absolutely nothing unique or original about this movie that I can think of.

And am I missing something here, or did the movie start by saying the footage was found on an “digital SD card camcorder”, but during the movie it keeps rewinding and fastforwarding and recording over bits of existing footage and… man, I don’t know.

I can’t fault the filming techniques or the special effects. They were awesome. But everything else… this movie was exactly as good as ‘The Blair Witch Project’. Take from that what you will.

P.S. Cloverfield sucks.
