Poor Scout Jr.! That’s awful! I hope both she and you are okay Scout!

That’s a good thing I think. I liked poison season but it definitely stayed inside the lines a bit much. A little more ‘fucking maniac’ a bit less ‘hell’ I guess.

Poison Season coloured inside the lines a bit too much for me, though there was still some great stuff on it like ‘Times Square’, ‘Dream Lover’ and ‘Bangkok’.

There’s a lot of weird experiments with instruments and texture on ken. Can genuinely say some of my favourite Destroyer songs are on it.

Just losing my fucking mind at one star Goodreads reviews, hbu?

is goodreads good for reading goods wait i mean is it good for recommendations?

Dunno, I’ve mostly found it good for laughing my head off at someone who thinks Atwood, Stein and Hemingway are shite but gave Corey Feldman’s autobiography “Coreyography” four stars, tbqfh.

Actually I did read one thing based off Goodreads’ recommendation, and it was literally the worst book I’ve ever read.

I’d say it’s as good as something like Amazon in the sense that you need to make adjustments for the people who give everything 5* or anything where they didn’t like the film 1*.

Not sure how many good things I’ve been recommended but to be honest I get a bit snobby about those kinds of things unless I really respect the person’s opinions. I’ve probably read more that was recommended in that thread on here, if that’s any marker.

Was it Lost Souls by Poppy Z Brite? That’s the worst thing I’ve read.

Memoir from Antproof Case by Mark Helprin. I was properly hate reading it by the end.

Our internet is broken and we’re already one fight over who has the best dvd collection from going full feral. Send halp.

Watching that John oliver show, revising my opinion from quite annoying to mildly amusing.

John Oliver is ace. He could do with knocking the ‘wacky brit’ thing down a notch or two but I guess it plays well to the americans.

And your syntax has not fully recovered since?

What had you read to make that a recommendation?

god my brother is gross [GBBO spoilers below]

he’d clearly been watching GBBO and I knew he didn’t like Yan but he literally came into my room doing a fist pump thing with both arms and shouting “YESSS, CHICKEN CHOW MEIN HAS GONE”… normally i don’t even bother picking my dad and brother up on this sort of thing because I just get mocked for not being a cunt/‘get off your soapbox LOLOLOLOL’ and it just makes them dig their heels in anyway to try and ‘trigger’ me, but that one was so explicitly racist AND HE WAS CLEARLY DOING IT TO TRY AND SHOW OFF TO HIS GIRLFRIEND THAT HE’S THE BIG FUNNY MAN??? that I was like nahhh, fuck that. so I told him not to be racist and he was like “I’m not being racist?? she’s not even from China, isn’t she like from Hong Kong???”. wtaf. I just gave him a very long hard stare until he fucked off to get his gf all lathered up with more HILARIOUS racist comments. wow, what a charmer!

move out of your parents house, man.

i’m quite pissed and like the total fucking #lad that i am, i’m gonna chuck on a terrence malick film
