5月12日 Who is entitled to write his
reminiscences? Alexander Herzen, in The Pole Star,1855 Ha Ha I got it working!I tried a couple of times to post to
my blog to keep it up and running, but had so many problems I gave up.
Here is a review I wrote about A
Clockwork Orange
its not finished.....
| A novel by Anthony Burgess becomes a shocking
and violent journey in the hands of directorStanley Kubrick, this film follows
the extreme experiences of a young and rebellious teenager living a clearly
dysfunctional life in the 60s.
|
Beginning with an immersive view of the drug taking which fueled Alex and his gang's repulsive behavior, which colours and distorts our view as the violence and victimization seen through Alex's eyes becomes art and beauty. Alex is a beautiful and terrifying character, intelligent and cultured, merciless and twisted. Inevitably a murder is committed and our narrator and star is convicted, Alex is no longer in control and he hates it. Clasping at straws Alex finds solace in religion, not for its message but to feed the need for violence and persecution he needs so much. Seeming a worthy candidate for rehabilitation to the staff he is offered the chance to undergo an experimental technique to rid him of his sick perversions which will also ensure his freedom. The controversial technique associates violence and sex with terror and pain in an extreme fashion, with some unexpected consequences for both the experimenters and the experimented upon. We follow Alex in his reform and return to life which has not forgotten his crimes. This film explores the basics of free will, ethics and questions the innate nature of human beings. It is strange and confronting, it is sometimes hard to watch, Stanley Kubrick has bought an intense psychedelic masterpiece to life from a novel which is deep and thought provoking and utter genius. This combination makes 'A Clockwork Orange' a classic cult-ish and contraversial work of art, perhaps appreciated most by those who watch film to be enlightened and challenged. 8月31日 August 31Well, lots has changed since may, Everything in my life has fallen apart and been built back up in some way or another.
I thought this blog thing might have been a passing phase as are most things I tend to turn my attention to.
This weekend is the cold kiwi, which I had planned to go to, although I am not sure now whether I will be bale to go, which might be a good thing coz jeez its cold at the moment!
Well my timing is awful, I am off to my mums house to collect some bits and peices, perhaps I will write more later... depends whats on tv tonight.
Kisses
Axxx 5月29日 DENTIST !!ANNA GOES TO DENTIST ! !I had finally had enough of the pain in my tooth nagging at me, along with just a few friends, so I decided that I would have the tooth out.Well thank god I didnt know beforehand what I was in for or I may have skipped it altogether and carried on my heavy neurofen usage until I passed out.
I was very brave wehn I arrived, considering my dentist was booked up and I had to see his colleauge, I had an xray of my mouth and then they gave me a few injections so I wouldnt feel any pain, which I didnt really.<WARNING : THE FOLLOWING MAY BE UPSETTING FOR SENSITIVE READERS> So after the needles the dentist started to pull, I closed my eyes but I could hear a grindy scrapy noise, she was wrenching on my tooth pretty hard and my face was starting to really ache from the pressure, soon she had to change the direction and the instrument plier thing was pushing my lip into my teeth as she pulled on it, I saw her stretching her hands when she took a breather. As bits of tooth broke off and my mouth filled up with blood as she must have forgotten to use the sucky thing, I concentrated on the fact that she assured me it would be only 2-10 minutes in total, which although it was past that now I thought it must be nearly done. I forgot that she said it would be very unusual to go longer unless something went completely wrong. NOPE, soon after that I heard my tooth snap off, she swore, I opened my eyes to see bloody tooth pullers and some tooth on the tray and she told me she would go and get the other dentist as that was not supposed to happen. My usual dentist came in and calmed me down after I had soaked Jasons jersey with tears, I had gotten all worked up and afraid during all of that and I broke down when he and I were alone for a minute. Well he is so realxwed and keeps talkig me through it, although I was shking and sweating I was not running out of the place, which I really wanted to do. They used the drills and bits and pieces to get the remaining 4 pieces of tooth out of my mouth and stitched up the cut bits and I was allowed to go home! I burst into tears in the carpark after the receptionist assured me that that was a very unusual extraction and I was just unlucky, however the bill was now more than expected.. $385.00 She was lovely though, In the car park anyway my dentist and another that worked there came and helped console me and I have an appointment tuesday to have the stitches out. honestly apart from the fact that it was a mess, and I got blood on my face, THe people there were so lovely and really did do their best to calm me down. Jason took me to the pharmacy and stocked me up with all the things I needed for the pain ahead, which was beginnign to seep in... I went home afterwards and OH MY GOD the pain was awesome .. I felt like I had been beaten round the head with a bat and my nose kept bleeding, I slept alot and my lovely mum and sister bought dinner out for Beth and I as I was in no state to cook. Even now I can still feel it throbbing ALL THE TIME, my stitches itch, My face feels bruised and I have just about finished the antibiotics which will probably give me thrush... grr.. also it seems I am in a whingy mood, sorry. So the moral of the story is....
Coca Cola is Fantastic the consequences of drinking it all the time are not fantastic
sympathetic comments would be appreciated :P
PS ... To those who know about the last boy that broke my heart..
A) It still hurts. B) I got an apology text from him. C) I didnt bother to reply.
the good news : I am happier now and have someone very special in my life.
Axxx Sunday 28 MayWell I have had an ass of a week really, Beginning on monday with no hot water..Monday is also the day I had forgotten
 was rental inspection day, and having had a busy weekend, my house was a disater zone, the property agent was obviously angry before he even walked in the door as he had seen the lawns which I had planned to mow the following day and they were a wee bit long... anyway he came in, basically told me I had to clean up or get out and left. Well that night I still had no hot water so called the power company, who instantly sent a technician, which it turns out was at my expense who told me it was not a meter fault.. I had already figured that, so back onthe phone, this time to the lovely property manager from earlier in the day, whom I had argued with over the phone that afternoon; he sent out a man to check the element next morning, bloody early, well after this was replaced they discovered that MICE had eaten through the wires for the hot water cylindar, well I never go into that cupboard, I cant get into it, coz my drier is pushed up against the wall, anyway we had to move that to let the fixing begin...
WELL, I was soon contacted by mr property manager, well not soon, more like later, after yet another night without hot water telling me that due to the fact that I had attracted vermin to the house with my mess he informed me that it could be argued that I should pay for the re-wiring and may not be offered another term on my tennancy, I explained that the lawns were now mown and the house was back to its usual state ( which hoenstly is a bit cluttered but reasonable and certainly not a heaven for mice) and that I did not agree with his assumption.
Next day, no action, I think it must have been friday that finally the wiring was done and my water began to warm up, by this time I had recieved a formal letter staing that I would in fact be asked to pay the bill for this as I definitly had caused the mice in the cupboard!
Meanwhile, my telephone was cut off coz I just cant quite squeeze enough money out to pay the phone bill, and of course the tooth thing.
I did speak to the tenancy services people who were shocked at this and assured me that this was a difficult thing for them to prove and that I would not be kicked out for it.
My mother lives in a tidy clean home that is a year old... it sometimes gets mice... it isnt rural like my place...she has 4 cats ...it doesnt have fileds and a river just across the road either !~
So anyway I think it unfair.. something I say alot I know.. but I intend to seek the opinion of a pest expert and fight this all the way.
AXXX 5月23日 Tuesday 23rd MayGood Morning,
Today is my third day without hot water, I am now over the novelty of boiling pots on the stove. After getting up at 7.30 to let the plumber in, he told me it is a wiring fault, so the electrician needs to come back, he wasnt my favorite tradesman, so I am not too pleased with that at all. SinceI wont be home all day it probably wont be untill tomorrow that he can repair the fault and start my water on the way to hot again.
Today is also dentist day, and I am paying 385.00 to be dentisted. I guess it will be worth it, for my friends anyway, who will no longer have to put up with " hey..... my tooth hurts" every few hours. As some of you know I am not all that keen on the old dentistry and will avoid it where possible, so I am well proud of myself for going in BEFORE I start to go grey and woozy from the pain.
Everyone be good,
Axxx
5月22日 A friend of mine has a site:From one of my friends sites: Quote 30/06/06 5月19日 I amThank god a single peson cant wreck the internet, coz god knows I would, given half a chance. This whole web page stuff is so confusing, I just cant seem to get the hang of editting HTML overnight, and thats the way I like to learn things.. grr, I seem to think I have the hang of it and then I change one letter or space and the whole thing is completely indesipherable, and I cant put it back the way it was... I have frontpage so perhaps I will sink my teeth into that. The best thing about these 'myspace' sites is that they are so easy to use and access. The worst part of them is that you cant seem to use it for much but a glorified profile of yourself, being that there is only one custom HTML box unless you are A) good at HTML AND B) Willing to muck with a fully supported format and take the risk of breaking it. There is probably nothing much I would have on my site, even if I had all the coding abilities in the world, my interestets are fickle and generally not popular and I think you need to be reasonably devoted to the whole thing to keep it interesting. Regardless, no bugger has left me a comment on this page for ages... do you all realise how much it makes my day when you do?
This weekend will be my weekend off, no plans, no cash to make any, but I will .I am sure spend some time with some good friends and be amazed at how quick it flies by and how busy I was!
Today I got the cutest little bed for Beth, half price, (see pic) She is happily sleeping in it right now, which is great coz it means she is not sleeping in my bed.. Yes she has a lovely almost brand new bed of her own, all made up and with an electric blanket, but she refuses to sleep in it and has done for a year or more, I know I should get a little tough and make her move but I do love hearing her breathing as I fall asleep, I know she is safe and hasn't escaped.
5月12日 This weekendA low hum tour and swampfest are playing in palmerston north this weekend, $8 and $10 respectively, coe along, do somethign for Nz music. ~ at the stomach and the globe~ friday saturday. 5月10日 NZ Music monthOk eveyone, its NZ music month and I actually do expect my fellow kiwis to get involved
I listen to this stuff made in New Zealand and it moves me and I feel it and I am so proud to be a kiwi
Fly My Pretties is a sort of musical collaboration thingie, it makes me cry and has been my favorite for 6 months now, the cd, the dvd, the band members.
I did have a chance to go and witness this event live, and gave it up, not knowing what I was missing... and that I was missing it for a cause not so worthy
Please go, buy it, listen to it, if you hate it (which I doubt) at least you know you have made a contribution to our culture and business in New Zealand.
Also, all you bastards who I invited to " Morning Raja"s Gig this past weekend, and who did not even bother to give it a shot, I am angry with you. The gig was wicked, I got saturated dancing, cool people were there and it was free for gods sake!
I have decided however that I do in fact have the best group of friends in the world, diverse and unusual, mostly neglegted by me but truly awesome people.
I am also feeling like I possibly do have a great life really, like one worth living. All I need now is to summon up the courage to get out there and live it properly
I have also come to a few realizations about myself, regularly, as in ever night things are coming to me, about me, and other ppl that I never noticed before. . . Some stuff isnt what I want to hear about me, but I finally know some things are true.,
Well one thing I now know is that I need people and harmony and as soon as something goes a little wrong in a group of people I am out of there , and never return... So now all I need to know is how to be courageous and hang in there and fix it.
BTW anyone out there with a job for me please email asap.
5月2日 Smoke MeThis song is for Tim, although I didnt write it, I sing it and I know it is his.
Smoke Me Rub two sticks together
You don’t always get a fire But I thought the spark we made was alright And I have to say
Thought you'd be here by my side Just don’t like singing about you like you died Don’t like singing about you Like you died You might as well have though
The way I felt for ages I’m still uncurling Still checking out what’s hurting Oh tell me is it terminal
Oh god I really hope not Coz I just turned 27 And there’s so much road to travel Although you are so beautiful
I’ve got a road I want to travel So don’t apply a tourniquet
Don’t start resuscitation For internal bruising Check first aid for losers My head is just a silly plant
It grows towards the sun I’m gonna have to trick it And turn the porch light on I’m gonna have to trick it soon And turn the porch light on Well the sun is high today
But the wind has got the stage Its iciness is taunting me To rattle my cage I’m gonna walk down to the corner Or even a little bit further Wearing all the clothes I own But I’m not wearing any Wearing all the clothes I own But I’m not wearing any Of yours Said
You can put me in your pipe and smoke me
Put me in your pipe and smoke me Put me in your pipe and smoke me And Fly My Pretties 2006
Wellington New Zealand |
