So! I'm not in The Social Network fandom, and I've only seen the film once, but on the bus this afternoon I discovered that "Digital Hearts" by Howling Bells would make an awesome* Mark/Eduardo vid.
*vidded by someone able to resist filling the entire thing with Andrew Garfield's woobie face, ie not me
Exhibit A:
With the technology as metaphor, the broken heart, the "you're the ultimate lie/ you'd rather sell your soul than compromise/ Well I'm listening, there's nothing on"... <3
In other news, I survived Wednesday. Yesterday I bought a new jacket and then wandered across some fields beside some impressive ruins to get to a pub-in-a-converted-mill in order to have a quick drink in front of a roaring fire before heading up to campus to steward Last Year in Marienbad.*
*According to imdb for the US it was "at Marienbad" but the UK title is "in Marienbad". Thanks, ambiguous French prepositions.
In the cinema, the steward seat is at the very back and I missed a bunch of the subtitles because there were heads in the way. With a film like Marienbad it doesn't really matter (very pretty, no plot). It was interesting how strongly I wanted to fill in backstory and motivation (and how much the film reminded me of The Shining, as I said on Twitter, with the sinister hotels and problems with reality).
Today I returned the jacket (didn't quite fit, boo) and bought Arkham City (yay!).
HMV was asking less for the game than Game Station or anywhere else, plus was giving out free t-shirts when you bought a copy, and all purchases got double points. I'm sure the giant "WE'RE NOT IN FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY, NO REALLY IT'S ALL GOOD" signs will be delivered over the weekend. Thanks for my double points, but will they be in business long enough for me to redeem them?
And just now I picked up a licorice jelly bean in one hand and my earbud in the other and narrowly avoided shoving a jelly bean in my ear. HOORAY FRIDAY BRAIN.
