I wanted to make a post about how I think I’ll never do anything with my life and how I end everyday feeling live I’ve wasted it, but I also wanted to make a post about the serious Oreo craving I’ve got right now so this is both

I would rather watch a snuff film than The Artist
Can’t believe I was so down on new girl when it started; this episode has zooey deschanel in a bra and a subplot involving hair cut anxiety - what more do I want?
going to watch like five episodes of new girl because all paths inevitably lead to zooey deschanel

This evening I’m going to go make some pancakes and then get really angry at the Brit Awards for not awarding artists/musicians who align to my very specific tastes.
“Blur playing the closing ceremony gig typifies what is wrong with our approach...”
– Blur, The Olympics & The Never-ending 1990s Hangover - The Quietus
I am so not looking forward to the Olympics this summer - does anyone in a different time zone want to adopt me for a few weeks? - and this article articulates how its presentation is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, as well as...
Jay-Z & Kanye West playing Manchester on my birthday :D
Tickets are £62 :(
(Related: One of my all time gig “moments” came a few years ago when I saw Kanye West on the Graduation tour and he brought Jay-Z out and the entire arena went mental. This guy in front of me literally fainted - and that was only over them doing, like, three songs together. I assume a whole joint set would...

THIS WEEK IN TIPSY MATTHEW REVIEWS STUFF....
I watched Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy again this evening. It probably did not go up in my estimations but I think it held up on second viewing and is still one of my favourites from last year (although I see far too many decent films to make any type of list). I think it was a real shame that is lost out on so many awards at the BAFTAs though; it feels way too British to be successful at the Oscars...
“My main hobbies include modern literature, independent music and recreational...”
– Under the “Hobbies, Interests and Additional Info” part of my CV. I hate having to try to pretend to be interesting and active when applying for a job. I’d be much more comfortable saying I spend most of my spare time posting shit online for strangers to ignore, but that’ll...
the world would be better if we lived in some sort of dystopian setting where you are assigned a job by machines and if you don’t want to do the job then you get vaporised

I asked my sister to have a look over my CV and she’s replied with an e-mail which is over twice as long as my actual CV….

I don’t want to delete my Tumblr; I want to delete my life
So, right, The Muppets - although my friend and I were the only people in the cinema who weren’t either a cute teenage couple or some tired-looking parents with children, the place was only 1/3 full at most so it wasn’t too weird. Plus the kids were all quiet; more annoying was the dad in front of me who explained every joke to his daughter, despite the fact she probably didn’t...
Right, off to see The Muppets Movie with my mate. Just two single guys seeing a kids movie together on Valentines Day; nothing weird and or depressing at all.
“Boredom is different nowadays. It’s about super-saturation, distraction,...”
– Simon Reynolds, Retromania
Reading Retromania like a year after everyone else; already worried a lot of it is going over my head, but enjoying it. This stuck out for me - I’m not a big fan of describing myself as “bored” because in my head boredom equates to a lack of options for...

When you think about it, it was pretty inconsiderate of Whitney Houston to die and ruin the Grammys for everyone.

1254 Words About Everything I Did This Week (Which...
MONDAY: I woke up at around 9am. My dad came home from work for reasons I don’t entirely understand but have something to do with the water pressure in our boiler. Later on in the morning I tried to make a cake but I left it in the oven too long and it was pretty burnt so I threw it away. In the afternoon I went to see Chronicle. It was OK. I saw it with a friend of mine who I...
