Adversarial Blues

Some days it feels as if the whole world is against you, that every decision you make will be the wrong one, and that given two options we will always choose the wrong one. It's infuriating to always misunderstand and get the wrong end of the stick! Can there ever have been a less capable communicator than I? Of course the world isn't out to get you and there are worse communicators out there, people so utterly incompetent that they can't convey an interest in cheese or understand your opinions on the relative value of a square compared to a circle, but it's hard to believe.

If you're feeling unnecessarily adversarial with the world then perhaps it is time to commit to general policy 25 and go talk to the sea. Most of the time, the sea is one of the best listeners you can find, and it doesn't charge you anything at the end of the session either, except for a few pebbles and stones if you're inclined to throw them in. Of course there's another option, general policy 25b, which is to challenge the sea and see who wins in the anger department. I'm convinced that people go to secluded coastal plots purely to rage at the ocean and unload pent-up frustrations and stress. The sea doesn't care and will let them win, while doing its best to splash in the best possible taste all over their shoes and socks.

Hmmm... cheese...

Today I am reduced to being guestless once again which means I get to talk to myself more and be less self-aware about the contents of my fridge and what I'm eating. So, in that mean-spirited hermit manner I get to be happy. It was nice to have someone to talk to though, and to whom I show the majestic beauty of Aberystwyth and the environs. It's truly a beautiful part of the world and the guest was thoroughly charmed. Everyone who ever visits seems charmed and most people are a little wistful upon leaving. It's that kind of place. The past girlfriend - that wondrous lady - seemed to adore the place, especially upon the cliffs and down by the sea. It was nice to share it with her too. Everyone should visit here! Everyone!

After a period of inactivity, it's probably time to pick up and get in to Film Bin again. We just released the commentary for 'Short Circuit 2' and tomorrow will record another for something very special: 'The Great Muppet Caper'! What a delightfully strange and kooky film. Long before 'Community' and the current 'meta' trends there were the Muppets. They did it all first, and this is the strangest example.

Let's close be serenading Miss Piggy.
