Not a happy bunny

I just found out something very annoying.

Let's start from the beginning. A few months ago I saw Oldboy for the first time. I know, I know, a little late (it came out in 2003) but whne I saw it I found it quite amazing. I've never seen a film that made me want to vomit before, and the mix of disgusting visuals and the unlikely incest storylines lead it to be one of my newest favourite films. I know, isn't it strange when I rate how good a flick is by how much it makes me was to rip out my eyesballs and throw up on them? Well Oldboy recieves a 10 from me. No. Make that a 12. Revoltingly great.

It's a korean film, and while I'm not too overly enthused by subtitles in a movie, I still found it pretty amazing.

But then I found out that this utter wanker, Roy Lee, who produced such monstrocities as The Ring (from the Japanese Ringu) and The grudge (Japanese Ju-On) is going to make an American version of Oldboy, presumably to start filming in 2006. Nicholas Cage has been rumoured for the main part, but thats all they are, rumours. Nothing confirmed. But still, you get the idea? This man is just going to ruin the film.

Now, I'm not saying that the ring and the grudge were utterly terrible. They were merely shite. Poor americanisations of films that were perfectly fine in their original states.

http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?ItemID=8079
This is an article about how America has suddenly become obsessed with remakes, but not just any remakes, those of Asian movies. Perfectly good Asian movies, to be precise.

And here are just a few extras, proving that it's not just Asian films the americans have been remaking of recent times. There's a handful from places such as Italy, France, Holland, and even our Native England :s

Unfaithful (USA, 2002) - La femme infidel (France, 1968)
The Departed (USA, 2006) - Infernal Affairs (Hong Kong, 2004)
Point of No Return aka The Assassin (USA 1993) - Nikita (France, 1990)
Criminal (USA 2005) - Nine Queens (Argentina, 2003)
Shall We Dance? (USA 2005) - Shall We Dance? (Japan, 1996)
Solaris (USA, 2002) - Solaris (Russia, 1972)
The Italian Job (USA, 2003) - The Italian Job (UK, 1969)
Wicker Park (USA, 2004) - L'appartement (France, 1997)
Godzilla (USA, 1998) - Gojira (Japan, 1954)
Alfie (USA, 2005) - Alfie (UK, 1966)
The Wicker Man (USA, 2006) - The Wicker Man (UK, 1973)
The Birdcage (USA, 1996) - La cage aux folles (France, 1985)
The Good Thief (USA, 2002) - Bob le flambeuer (France, 1956)
Dark Water (USA, 2005) - Dark Water (Japan, 2002)
The Eye (USA, 2006) - The Eye (Hong Kong, 2002)
Night Watch (USA, 1998) - Night Watch (Denmark, 1994)
Ladykillers (USA, 2004) - The Ladykillers (UK, 1955)
Just Visiting (USA, 2001) - Les visiteurs (France, 1993)
Taxi (USA, 2004) - Taxi (France, 1998)
Bedazzled (USA, 2000) - Bedazzled (UK, 1967)
Swept Away (USA, 2002) - Swept Away (Italy, 1975)

So in conclusion. I hate Americans. I hate American movies (More so now than I did before) and from now on I shall shoot every American I meet. Watch out family, oh, and self.

Bye.

Number of Drugs I have taken: Quite a few, but in fairness I take very few any more. I've grown up. I'm not that 14 year old sitting in the park drinking vodka with a little bag of coke any longer. Of course, nowadays that would make me a chav, but back then I was just a fucked up teen.

Number of Piercings: 15? Is that right? No. 14.
Number of Tattoos: None yet. Stupid gays at the tattoo place want ID, so I need to get ID to get an appointment for like 3 months time. Not likely. So I'll go to brighton I think. They've got a very big tattoo criteria up there.
Number of things in my Past I Regret: I don't regret things. That causes wrinkles. Look at everything as experiences to learn from *Sounds so fucking retarded*.

Sorry about that. Anyway. Christmas. I do hope you all had a wonderful time. What did you get? I got some DVD's and books and stuff. A few bags and odd little bits. My brother went all out to get me Commander Venus CD's, which are very rare. So rare, in fact, that they aren't real, they're copies, but I love him all the same. He also bought me the Desaparecidos CD, which is amazing listening.

Nan got me a large buddha head, which is mega cool (I'd seen it a few weeks ago in a box and figured it must be for me). I also got Morning View Sessions (Hence the quotes), Dylan Moran live, and Max an dPaddy's Road to Nowhere. Mega cool, Boi!

Yeah, so christmas was a little straightforward. I've still got Tom's bitrd, Crackers. He came out today (Of the closet) and sat on my shoulder. Paul found this quite amazing,b ut Crackers wouldn't go near him. I bet he smells too rancid.

Robyn's invited me to hers for New Years. I'll take a bottle of champagne if we have any, which I think we may. I hate the stuff. The bubbles make me need to pee. but I've drunk 5 bottles since my birthday. One was pink. That was special.

I spent all Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day cooking. I did more than Nan. It was alright in retrospect, but I was tired afterwards. Then on Sunday (Christmas Day) I got a 15 minute break when everything was int he oven, or on the stove, and nothing neede dto be checked for 15 minutes, so I went and sat down, and then my cousin comes in and is all like 'let's open presents' so I had to get up and hand out all the presents, as I'm still the youngest. This would be fine if I hadn't been on my feet since 6am, and it was about 1.30, maybe 2. So I spent my break handing out presents and opening mine at an alarming rate, only to have to leave halfway through anyway to finish dinner. I don't mind the cooking. It's easy. I just hate the fact that I don't get a break, whilst everyone else is just sitting around on their arses. Veyr annoying.

but anyway. I'm going to go and get food as I've not eaten since breakfast yesterday, and I'm peckish.

I hope you all had a wicked christmas, and If I don't post, a happy new year, too. Goodbye.

It's all gone Pete Tong... It's just all gone Pete Tong...

I went shopping with Tom today, to bluewater. Tom bought me a half of a christmas present, which was Hypnotize by System of a Down. It's by far one of the best looking CD's I've seen for a very long time. It's stunning. Everything about it is just so wacky. I'm impressed. I hope it's not like that to make up for a poor 'Steal This Album' type mix of music.

I bought myself 2 Smiths albums, one of which I was told by the guy behind the counter is 'A very good album, that, yeah, very good.' Fucking stoners. I also bought myself Essential The Clash, which has many of my favourite Clash tracks.

On the DVD front I bought myself Oldboy, the movie I've been raving about since I saw it about 2 or 3 months ago. Amazing Korean movie. Quite gory in places. Made me cringe, which is a feat. Will be watching that tonight. I bought myself Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (Shotgun Special Edition) because my copy has gone missing since I began moving my DVD's upstairs. I'm thinking maybe Paul's stolen it, but I'm sure he probably has it. You watch it show up now I've bought a new one.

And, I bought myself 'It's All Gone Pete Tong' which is a movie about Frankie Wilde, the deaf DJ. Me and Paul were going to get it out of blockbusters to see it, but they were all out, so I think we settled for Oldboy and Wimbledon (THE HORROR!!!). But now I have it. I've been wanting to see it. Should be quite enjoyable as I do like that sort of thing.

On another note I downloaded an iPod Artwork getterer. It goes onto Amazon and gets album art to go onto iTunes and in turn onto my iPod, which is working fine now, by the way.

I told Tom I would look after Crackers whilst He's away over Christmas, so I think I may have a bird for a couple of days. No problem, really. Should be fun, I've not taken care of a bird since Cornflake, or Bill and Ted, my birds from childhood. Of course, birds of recent have been scaring the crap out of me, but I've been told that Crackers doesn't fly much since his accident (fractured wing, poor thing) so it should be good. Just gotta keep Mr. Jesse of James away for a while. Easy? I think not.

It's Christmas Eve the day after tomorrow. That means it's christmas day in three days. How fast has this year gone? I remember at the stat of year 12 thinking 'Oh, 2 more years in education then it's off to get a job', then in the beginning of year 13 I was thinking 'My, only one more year before job', and now I'm thinking 'Shit, I've got to grow up in a few months'. This isn't fun anymore.

One quick question. what does the little yellow exclamation mark sticker mean on CD's from HMV?

Today I bought Tom the Will Young album. That is the second time I've bought it in a week and a half, neither time I've had to keep it, luckily, but both times it's been quite embarrassing. Well, it is Will Young. But, the cool thing is, I got it for £8.99 when all the stickers on all the other CD's said £9.99, but the CD had been priced wrong on the front and the back, so I got a brand new album for a pound off... How very sad am I for caring about a pound when Tom spent £3 more on me for my present than I spent on him? Gosh, how cheap am I? I'll have to buy him a more expencive CD for his second half of christmas present, and he can buy me Black Cherry for like £6.99 or whatever from Woolworths.

The boy with the thorn in his side.

I'm going to go and watch a DVD now. I bid you all a merry christmas, and I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Goodbye to all.

The Music of 50 Cent is so INSPIRING! It inspires me to want to shoot myself.

I just heard Franz Ferdinands new track. Better than that last monstrosity they released. Do you want to? No I do not. Now fuck off and die you whore.

I'm listening to Are Friends Electric by Tubeway Army. Incase you'd like to know that. But I'm going to change it and put Guided by Voices on.

I went shopping yesterday. I did most of my christmas shopping. I need to go in town today to pick up a CD from Slipped Disk because they had the disk and not the case yesterday, so they spent half an hour searching the entire shop, then gave up and rang the other shop to get it in. No problem. It's a potential present for Rachel depending how much it'll cost. If it's too much, I'll keep it for myself and buy her something else to go with the present I've already got her.

I need to buy something for my Nan and for my dad. Any ideas? I bought my Dad socks last year. I'm determined not to do it again. And Nan I don't know about. I'm going to buy her some flowers, but I want an actual gift. I'm thinking a CD maybe. Dunno.

I'm going to do the wrapping this evening and take in the school presents tomorrow. Except Tom's , because we're going shopping for presents on Thursday and I'll buy his then. Last year he bought me a Led Zeppelin poster. This year we're buying each other 2 CD's. I know one of mine will be SOAD's new one. Dunno what else I'll get though. Maybe The Strokes. Is that Out yet? Or Giant Drag. I've been listening to them alot lately. Kevin is Gay. Meow.

On Friday we went to see The Chronicles of Narnia. It was pretty cool. I did enjoy it. It's got James McAvoy in it, who was in Inside I'm Dancing, which I enjoyed at the cinema last year, around the same time that I apparently saw The Village, too. I don't remember, but I do remember jumping at the red bit.

Anyway, Narnia wasn't as good as I remember it from the theatre. I forget where I saw it. I'm positive it wasn't in London, cos I dunno if they've done it there, but I saw it somewhere. I've also seen Starlight Express, Chicago, Beauty and the Beast, and something or other on ice. I'm thinking the ice one might have been a dream.

Like that dream I had where I flew over the moon, and then I realised, a few months ago, that it can't have been real, and it was the most distraught feeling ever.

I'm working for a cash machine. Hard-Fi. I dunno. I like em. I do. But they remind me a little of the streets, who I also like, but I liked because they were unique.

I'm eating pumpkin seeds. Yesterday I was bought pomegranate green tea. I'm phobic of tea. Nobody seems to understand this. AFRAID OF TEA! SCARED OF IT! Teabags as well. Mugs, bleugh. I can't even put milk in coffee because of the thought of the milk being warmed with something brown. Ick. I like Coffee though. But I have one mug that I can use. I'd love to work in Starbucks, but I could never touch the mugs. Otherwise, it'd be fun. Imagine being around all that coffee all day long... yum.

I may try and get a job (eventually) in waterstones. You get 20% discount, not as good as some stores, but better than others. Also, you get a discount in HMV, which is great because I ike books and music, and I can also get movies, which are like, three really good things. Of course, I'd like to go into waterstones and start finding my way around places. I know where everything is in Ottakars, but Waterstones is a mystery to me. I can workdownstairs, but I always get lost upstairs. It's cleaner though, in my opinion.

I've got a peach smoothie. How jealous are you?

Emmie's been eating everything today. I normally give her a Cod Liver Oil capsule, but today her and Muffin both had one of those, and an evening primrose and Straflower, and now Emmie's eating pumpkin seeds. Some cats'll eat anything.

So now I'm going to go and do stuff. I'll speak to you again soon, oh wonderous blog of mine.


**EDIT**

After a long day in town I've come home to find that Slipped Disk have given me a CD that I didn't even ask for. After asking for, and specifically stating that I wanted Cibo Matto, Japanese Indie rock female duo, I was given Tutto Matto, Italian club/hip-hop stylie dance/disco music by a male duo.

Now I'm sorry, but what? I paid £13.99 for this? Although, I did get a free CD. I have thought about taking it back, but after listening to the first few tracks, I decided to keep it, as it's not that terrible. And I feel a little bad about getting them to search the whole shop then ring another place to get it bought to them for me. Even if it is wrong...

The first track, 7.36 of pure disco classique named Welcome To The Marble Room sounds like some real disco garbage puked up by a doped up hippy wearing a giant ginger afro. But it's quite amusing in a novelty type way.

I guess Cibo Matto are as rare as I thought. The only song people ever know by them is Sugar Water because it seems to be on a Buffy soundtrack. Well I'm sorry, but I own no Buffy soundtracks and never paid that much attention to the tv series. I know them after being introduced to them by a friend who is terribly into the whole 'dream-pop' and 'indie-rock' genre. Fucking hippies.

So yeah, I'm a little disappointed, but after finding no recollection of them in HMV, why would I find them in slipped disk, really? I mean, I'm yet to find CocoRosie's first album in either shop, but at least HMV stock their recent one, which is more than I can say for Slipped Disk.

And now iTunes won't recognise the free CD, which is apparently a remix album by Tutto Matto which has NO fucking track listings anywhere. How shitty. So the free 'Butt Funkin' Exclusive DJ Set From Tutto Matto' (Direct quote from CD) doesn't have track names.

Stupid Slipped Disk... and to make matters worse, they didn't give me a receipt.

Your hard-on for smiting has prevented us from negotiating what ought to be the relatively simple matter of catching or staying on a bus.

I've got some 'You are what you eat' thing on in the background as I write this. Something about Michelle McManus (*giggles*... Anus). Like I care. I'm a 'fucking vegetarian'.

Tom let me wear his hat all day. I don't know whether it suits me or not, but I like wearing hats.

I think I've got a cold. I've been sneezing alot the past few hours, and a bit during school, too. And my throat is a bit fucky. Wonderful!

Oh, today we came to the conclusion that I have a magic arse. It's not like a magic lamp, where you rub it and a genie pops out, because that would be strange. But we were snapping my perspex for my art, and I had to sit on it. It snapped perfect, no shattering. Oh, love me, love my wonderful, magical backside, biatch.

I don't think I'm big-headed. I don't think I'm in love with myself. I think Robyn and Rachel and George and others make it up.

I got my iPod to work. The past few days it's having the battery run all down because we watch some music videos and then it dies. It doesn't last that long really, in retrospect. But I just charged it all up, so fingers crossed it'll last all day tomorrow.
It died on Monday because of Jay's obsession with watching Thriller 7 million times. And it died today because Robyn watched a load of my music videos, Rachel and I watched black books, episode 1 (The best ever, in my opinion), And then George watched The Hot Chick, which she claimed to be better than White Chicks, and in a way, it is. Iyt's alot funnier, but the humour is pretty sparse, wheras in white chicks, it's all the way through. I think Rob Schneider was alot funnier in Deuce Bigalo. But the Wayans brothers are funnier in white chicks than in Scary movie (except the bit where one of them rolls up into a spliff and the weed smokes him, that's a beautiful bit of cinema, right there. Like art. Stunning).

Yeah, I'm sure I've got a cold. I'm all sneezy. I got home from school today, and I'm glad Tom wasn't coming, too, because I just slept. I don't know why, but I felt quite tired today. Maybe because I haven't done anything, which I can't help. I kind of get bored when I don't have lessons, and we all just sit around. It's OK for an hour or so, but I had three hours today, which is about avergae, if not a little below par. And then there's break and lunch, too. And my lessons today were Psychology, where Sally was ill, bless her, and Art, where we did very little but sit upon perspex with my magical arse, and then sit and draw. Oh, and argue with Mr Foley about getting the perspex cut. God forbid. Bill point blank refused. Wanker. I don't understand why using a *Banshee* is going to shatter the plastic, whereas it being snapped in half by a retard (Mr. Wadwell... Meant with love...) and moi is not.

The Last of The Famous International Playboys

*Dances*

*Sneezes*

Yeah, I really want to go back to bed. Nan woke me for dinner, which was some strange vegetable crumble which I didn't enjoy. It had parsnips and potatoes and onions and carrots and swede and was topped with oats and a little cheese. It didn't taste like anything. Doesn't beat last nights beatuiful Thai food. I love Thai. My favourite food of all, but few people like it, so we never go out as a group for it, cept with Paul and Hannah. I didn't even get it for my birthday, I had to have chinese, which I always find very greasy, so I had coconut rice and salmon for my birthday meal.

I like coconut. And peaches. Yay, lets talk about food. My favourite food is Thai. And peaches, which I can't eat. Rachel's favourite is Apples, cheese and chinese, which is cool, cos it rhymes. I like cheese, but I don't think of it as a favourite food. I like carrots. Oh, and peas are my favourite vegetable.

I remember Rachel and My hour long conversation about cheese and other foods. We sat on my bed and chatted about cheese. Sad or what?

She's getting Michelle McManus to eat fish. Mackrel. I hate Mackrel. I like, however, fresh sardines. They're cool. We caught one, once. We gave it to a fisherman and I think he used it as bait. How gay. Robyn's a dyke.
*Whispers* 'I think Robyn fancies me'
*Giggles*

This entry is utter wank. I remember when I went through a stage of losing my funny and writing wank. I'm very sorry. It's kind of gay, I guess.

*GASP*

God I am pissed off. I got my video iPod yesterday (did I mention I was buying one? Sold my old one to Rachel, I did). Anyway. I tried this afternoon to put some video's into iTunes and the whole thing fucked up. Freezes up. Stupid gay. It wouldn't even open without freezing, so I had to totally uninstall everything iPod/iTunes related and start all over again, putting my music on (6000 songs) in stages because I didn't want it to freeze again.

Done and dusted. Great. iTunes full of music. I then plugged in me new iPod and let it update. So now I have a brand new 60 gb video iPod with music on. Great! So then I decided, about an hour ago, to put video's into it. Why not? It is a video iPod after all, right?

Aparently iTunes hates me. I figured it'll only take a few of my video files (not AVI like Tom once told me) so I decided to upload a couple MPG music video's I have. I tried one (Adam and the Ants, hardcore nigga rap, biatch... not) and it wouldn't work, so then I tried another, and it worked OK. So I figure maybe that one was just too hardcore for iTunes. Anyway, I did another and it seemed to be working no problem, so I then decided to try and upload 10. Nope, iTunes didn't like. Same thing's happened as earlier. The second I open it it freezes, unless I restart, then it'll be OK for, I don't know, about 3 seconds, long enough to put on a song from the beginning of my library, but then it freezes. WANKER.

I'm too lazy to contemplate doing anything about it right now. I've been reading articles on the net and decided the video iPod probably shouldn't be used for video's, as it's utterly wank. Cost me £300 that did.

The only thing I can think of doing is doing what I did earlier, but that took too long, and no doubt the next time I attempt to update my iPod it'll take an hour or so because it'll have to update everything all over again. I don't know what Apple's problem is, but they royally suck. I'm half considering giving Rachel the video one and keeping my 20 gb. It doesn't hold all my music, but at least it works.

Shut up! Shut Up! This song is all about me!

This entry is going to be mainly photos. I'm going to use them as a means for everyone to peek into the mystical life of Donna. Enjoy.

This is me. I like this image. Gemma took it when I first got my phone and first had my hair done an awful long time ago (March). I'm wearing Tom's coat. Gemma said I looked Emo. I'd have to disagree and say I look more chavvy than Emo, because I don't want to look like I'm about to slit my wrists with depression. I have better things to do with my blood, i.e. feed it to small animals and make an army of me.









This is one of my favourite bands, Incubus. My other favourite bands/singers include (in no specific order); R.E.M, Bright Eyes, Coldplay (older stuff), The Clash, Ani DiFranco, 808 State, Leftfield, Air, Hot Hot Heat, PJ Harvey, David Bowie, Santana, Prince, System of a Down, Iggy Pop (with The Stooges), The Beatles, The Smiths, New York Dolls, Blondie, and many others that I can't remember right now. I really enjoy music, and don't tend to stick with one style for very long, one minute I'd listen to Leftfield, and Aphex twin, the next, CocoRosie and Joanna Newsom, then I could go completely crazy and listen to Atreyu for a month. OK, so I don't like Pop music, so shoot me.











This is Jay. I know many other people, too, but I don't know how they'd feel about me putting up their pictures. I'm pretty sure Jay wouldn't mind with this one, as it is a class picture. Yes, he does have boobs. I'm pretty sure they were Byron's Birthday Balloons, though, but I'd hate to say for certain...
On my Birthday, Jay ate a bubble. I have a picture, but it merely looks like he's trying to eat his little finger in a strangely suggestive manner... scary.













These are the Lost Boys from Peter Pan. Peter Pan is myfavourite Disney movie, even if he is blatantly gay and wears tights. Who cares? He can fly! Is that not every childs dream, to fly? Mine was. And so that is why Peter Pan is so magical to me. Oh, yeah and I have a friend (in my head) who looks like Tinkerbell, but her name is Connie, she is my Complex, my spoilt child, but my gosh, she's so cool.



These are Lollerskates. Need I say more?







This is Jesse Curtain Creature. He is a baby, still, although he's nearly three. This is an amazing picture. I have four cats (one is a rabbit), one lizard (who is being moody because he's about the shed), and two fish, anmed after the amazing Ed and Edd from Ed, Edd and Eddy. Not I shall not get an Eddy. Eddy is horrible. He's ugly and gross and makes me mad. But Ed is funny and Edd is smart.








This is Jesus the Rabbit (Alias C4). She is a major inventor in the drug-free snack food industry. She's invented such top-shelf sellers as;
'Jesus the Rabbit's Magical Drug-Free Happy Pies'
and;
'Jesus the Rabbit's No-More-Drugs Hallucinogen Fags'
and the ever popular;
'Jesus the Rabbit's Vegetarian Shroom 'n' Prune flavoured Groovy-Gravy'







These are two friends of mine. Yes, they are Chickens, and Yes, they do have afro's. I have a pet chicken who's name is Wook Wook. These two lovebirds are Wook Wook's Mummy and other Mummy (they are Lesbian Chickens), their names are Gloria Esterfan and Margaret Thatcher.
Say Hello Gloria and Margeret!









This is a Rasta Smurf, who I recently met on my brief trip to Jamaica. He offered me some 'Ganja Ceek' which I had to turn down because I was just about to pilot an airplane to Tortuga. Instead, I offered him a rasher of 'Beer-Can' and we had a swell time discussing the qualities of the Jamaican economy. Big up the Rasta Smurf Massive.*












'Now who can tell me what famous person wrote the declaration of independence? Let's see, oh I know, how about the new student, Timmy?'
'Timmy!'
'No, it wasn't you Timmy, try again.'
'Heee-ay'
'Timmy, did you not do your homework?'
'Timmy.'
'Uh, Mr Garrison, haven't you figured it out, Timmy's retarded.'
'Don't call people names, Stanley.'

Also, Donna does not have permission to use most of these pictures, if you do have an queries, don't direct them to me, because I just don't care.

Masterchef: Jeffrey Dahmer

I have one quick question that's just popped into my mind after watching my American Psycho DVD, not that it's anything really to do with American Psycho, I just saw the blood and began to wonder.

If you were a cannibal, and you were to take a victim with AIDS, or who was HIV positive, would you catch the desease if you were to cook the meat before you ate it?
