Send My Conscience Home in a Taxi

(I should be doing homework, so this'll have to be brief!)

There is a very silly bunch of people called 5 Second Films who make, oddly enough, films that go for five seconds. They're a bit hit and miss, but at 5 seconds a pop, you're not wasting much time.

A while back they posted this:

And later this:


About "Tom Fucking Watson, Member for West Bromwich East". I found them hilarious.

Later I discovered there really was at Tom Watson, member of the Labour Party and of the British Parliament... for West Bromwich East. What kind of a name is that for an electorate???? And he wasn't someone they'd just made up for the sake of a silly short film.

He's been in the news a lot lately because of his pursuit of Rupert Murdoch - he's even published a book about the investigation called "Dial M for Murdoch". More power to him, that megalomaniac needs to be taken down.

Tom Watson, it transpires, is also on the twitters and many other social networking sites. I finally followed him on Twitter today (I strongly approve of his politics) and this happened:


He knows about 5 Second Films! A politician with a sense of humour!

(Here is the tweet in question).

So I've had a random day. Also: Vote 1 Tom Fucking Watson!

OK, so this is an ad, but I quite liked it:

Not sure if I every posted this. Lets just say we had way too much fun at the Dr Who exhibition:

Everything Poops:

OK, so, that last one isn't an animal on a vehicle but it is pretty fucking funny.

Some background: I have a couple of friends in Berlin, Jack and Polina (owners of Marvin the Borrowed Cat. Provider of the puncture wounds I have in my fore-arm. Hmmm.) Jack turned 30 in late December, and Polina asked us all to record video greetings. I was in Sydney at the time and had nothing better to do... Hence...

Here's something a bit more highbrow. This is an animation to a piece of Slam Poetry:

Saw this at the Animation festival this year.

I know this cat!



Hmmm... It occurs to me that I should be a) shopping b) cleaning my flat c) getting through my email d) burning a cd e) getting over my cold f) looking for a new place to live g) getting some lunch h) paying my cousin for this Mac i) etc. etc. etc.

But no, I must blog :-)

Don't ask me how I came by this one...
