Postcards from the edge

I used to buy postcards. When I was in University, and stick them on blank spaces on my wall. Its fair to say, I suffered from horror vacui

I would get them from Forbidden planet in Glasgow.

Yesterday I rediscovered them. As you can see its pretty much a mid 1990's ensemble. The Star wars trilogy is there. It was re-mastered by Lucas, in 1996. I went to see that in Glasgow

Indiana Jones, was not so fresh in the mind. I always liked the series though. I seem to have had sequalitis, as Desperado is there too

The Mask, which brought Cameron Diaz, into the public view, is there. Who else remembers Cameron in the red dress?

Bruce Willis can be seen, twice. Die hard 3, which  I saw so many times in college. I can quote. As well as Pulp fiction. The soundtrack of which, I owned. As did everyone else. You were issued, them along with Trainspotting

Playing the six degrees of Kevin Bacon game. Brings you to Get Shorty. John Travolta making his comeback in Pulp fiction, went on to star in Get Shorty, which had a sequel recently

7 of 9. Jeri Ryan, made her debut on Voyager at this time. I used to rent the videos, in Glasgow

Apocalypse now, had entered cult status by this point. My dorm, in junior year was nicknamed Saigon

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
