A fairly mundane evening. Had the couple from upstairs have all their mates round on the table outside in the communal garden eating food, which was annoying as I'm on the ground floor and there aint no double glazing so I was forced into listening to their cunty conversations, bet they all work in 'media', PR or banking. My flatmate and I just know all the blokes in our building as 'the Dans'. They seem to go out drinking together and they all have Mazerattis and beamers with perma tans and perfect grins. They are pelasant enough like but I just find them a bit....cunty. We know them as 'the Dan's' from a charlie brooker quote talking about media people all being called Dan or Danny, went something along the lines of 'you could throw a rock into any cunty media pub on a friday night in london and guarantee it will bounce off at least 5 Dan's or Danny's before hitting the ground'. Plus, when they introduced themselves they all looked the same and I'm sure at least two of them were called Dan. Watched 'war of the world - a new history of the 20th century' again. Why, I don't fucking know, it NEVER says anything new at all. Niall Ferguson struts round like he's delivering some kind of fucking history bombshell. Plus it has innappropriate quirky or beaty music in it when being shown over some footage. And good old Niall has gone all round the world filming this shit, for no reason other than him having a fucking great jolly. 'look, im wandering down a street in some far off country delivering a couple of lines while they project some footage from the era onto wall.....mmmmm lets give the deep and meaningful stare'. Load of shite. Find it a bit odd when you have beaty/quirky music over footage of wars and suchlike. Caught a bit of that 'war machines' thing on channel 5 the other day with that british army guy with the great moustache. It was about the apache helicopter, montage footage of them detroying tanks, firing cannons and suchlike while beaty music plays over the top of it. 'err, people will have died in that piece of footage you are showing you know'. it's just war porn 'look at these missiles, and guns, and gadgets, wow, yeah, here's some more guns that could cut you in two in a heartbeat......fwoar'. Yeah, great, isn't it a super death machine. My lead artist is wearing a fucking training vest today, as well as shorts and flip flops. Seeing someones feet and legs is bad enough but I dont want to see the plumes of arm pit hair during my day. Urgh. I'm painting tyre skids today. I'm sure that will be....shit.
