Moon day

Things that are good today are... lava...which is melted rocks in case that slipped your mind... that is a bunch of rock that has melted due to unbelievable natural wonder.
This wiggly street is also very great today. they could have made it straight but they made it wiggly, nothing wrong with that.

Things that are sh*t today include when people repeat 'know what I'm saying?' Usually delivered after the simplest of conveyed concepts... for instance -

"So we were is a store in Detroit, know what I'm sayin?"

Even better is when they repeat it so many times that it almost becomes insulting through the insinuation that you cannot follow the mind bending tale they are imparting... know what I'm saying?

also rubbish today is mobile phone marketing

Reading Too Much into Toy Story 3

SPOILER WARNING: Do not read this until you've seen the film.

The third film in Pixar's Toy Story series is the most dogmatic to date. It's the story of mankind's relationship with God, and its position on how humans should relate to the almighty couldn't be clearer. The script may as well have been written by John Calvin himself.

God

The God in this film goes by the name of Andy, and at the beginning of the movie it's established that he is about to move on to universes new, leaving behind the realm he has ruled over up until now. AndyGod's problem is that his current universe is populated with toys that he has loved and cherished throughout his existence, and before he can leave he has to decide what to do with them. He has four choices: he can take them with him to his new domain; he can hand them over to a different god (so okay, maybe the script isn't as Calvinist as I said above); he can consign them to a worldly attic purgatory; or he can send them to Hell. He chooses the third option for all the toys except his favourite, Woody, with whom he is well-pleased.

Woody

Woody is a sanctimonious prick who spends his entire life reminding all his colleagues of AndyGod's greatness and infallibility and generally bossing people around. When AndyGod decides to send the rest of the toys to purgatory, Woody supports Him totally -- and we must assume that had AndyGod decided instead to send them to Hell, Woody would be quoting Romans 3:10 as justification and telling them to suck it up because the potter can do whatever he wants with his clay.

When, by mistake, the mother of AndyGod sets the toys on a path towards Hell, Woody rushes to save them. But why? Is it because he's concerned for his colleagues, or because the Law of his Lord has been interfered with? I think it's probably the latter, because Woody is a dick.

The Other Toys

When the toys realise that they're destined for Hell they (understandably) become angry and decide to reject AndyGod and go off to find other gods to serve. Woody remonstrates with them, telling them they should remain faithful and that it was all a mistake; but under the leadership of the Female Temptress Jesse, the others won't listen to him. As far as they're concerned whether their deity has abandoned them to Hell or Purgatory makes little difference; the issue is that they've been abandoned, while Woody has not.

When they all arrive in a kind of Paradise for toys, a place where they will be played with all day long (which after all, is what they were designed for), Woody is still griping and insisting that they return to AndyGod's house and get themselves up into Attic Purgatory where they belong, while he swans off to whatever exciting new place AndyGod is going to. The other Toys again ignore him, looking forward to a new life of hedonism...

And this, of course, proves to be their downfall.

Lotso Bear

The paradise they think they have discovered is in fact ruled by an atheist; an evil, strawberry-smelling bear who has rejected all gods and has set himself up as a mortal god on earth. He's a pink furry Stalin (I think they even refer to him as "Uncle" at one point). The message is clear: if you reject the god that owns you, you have only yourself to blame if you end up being tortured in a totalitarian gulag.

The film could have ended here, but audiences may have been left with a view of God as cold and unconcerned with his universe, so the story carries on. Woody continues his righteous quest to be reunited with his Master, but then he gets distracted by feelings of compassion for his colleagues. Foolishly, he tries to help them, not realising that by attempting to interfere with destiny he's only going to make things worse.

His efforts lead the toys to the very edge of Hell, which they only escape by means of a Ludicrum Ex Machina. The atheist Lotso, of course, who has by now proved his evil atheist character beyond a doubt, is not so fortunate and is consigned to an eternal punishment direct from the mind of Dante.

Once the atheist villain has been disposed of the film can end nicely with the redemption of not only foolish Woody and the ungrateful toys but also AndyGod, who is finally shown indulging his merciful side.

And we can all walk out of the cinema saying "Ah, see? God is great after all. And blimey those 3D specs are uncomfortable, hope that fad burns itself out ASAFP."

I know it isn't a fawn but my pal made a song called little fawn... other influence came from James Walsh. I credit him with inspiring that nose... I'd also like to thank my family and the producer 'Deuce Pontoon' for all their support... the academy.... the help an emotional cripple foundation... carrs pastie shop... and Lemmy

Her name was Pauline

I know I know... she's be more scuffed up living in a tree and all that but I left all my 'scuff coloured' pens on the bus last week so it is impossible for me to effectively represent a proper scuff... sorry but that's the way it is... I have written to the gass board several time and on each occation I have been assured that they cannot do a thing about it... they actually became quite rude of the telephone

Rags and bones, are we finally alone?

This is like a type of optical delusion... the longer you look at it... the less happens. I had a stare at it for around 37 minutes earlier and was astounded that after the initial 'very little occuring' I slowly reached a level of 'absolutely not one thing going on'. So effective was this technique that some birds actually stopped in mid air and refused to come down.

How to

now we can learn how to draw someone asleep/ unconscious/ dead/ fallen over
A) Begin by drawing someone asleep/ unconscious/ dead/ fallen over
B) colour it in
C) retire to the kitchen for a bit of fruit or to wear a mask and wave at the neighbours
F) catch up on that correspondence you have been neglecting

that's the sort of responsibility you draw straws for if you're mad enough
