yesterday we went drunkboarding for old time’s sake and i even knelt down and bombed down a slopey hill and didn’t land on my chin but at one point i did wipe out and my left hand scraped against the ground cos my jeans were too tight and i was locked in this crouching position and this little surfer-hair looking kid watched me do it and was impressed i could tell. i like it when 8 year olds think you are the coolest. everytime we passed this one house these drunks in their garage went WOOOOOOOOH and YEEEEARRGH. it felt like being on television.

nolw says:

for the first time:

big fucking squid

raymi says:

um isnt that bullshit

nolw says:

nope

raymi says:

squids have been photographed a hundred thousand times before

nolw says:

its the first time a photo has been taken of one in its natural habitat – deep sea water

nolw says:

…as opposed to washing up on a beach

nolw says:

or getting caught in a fishing net

raymi says:

ive seen videos back in the day of them like on discovery

nolw says:

dude

raymi says:

swimming around and shit

nolw says:

giant squid

raymi says:

oh 8 meters

nolw says:

anyway, i guess cnn and the app are lying

raymi says:

haha

raymi says:

shut up

nolw says:

about a squid

raymi says:

so is that like bigger than a car?

nolw says:

8 metres long

nolw says:

30 feet

raymi says:

woah do they eat people

nolw says:

lore says they do, but i dont think so

nolw says:

they suspect there are way massive ones down there

nolw says:

8 metres not being the largest found

raymi says:

wowo

raymi says:

i bet they strangle people to death

nolw says:

check out the little comparison chart on this page: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2910849.stm

raymi says:

oh my god

raymi says:

but they only swim in really cold water right

nolw says:

yes

raymi says:

ok

nolw says:

theyre pretty sensitive to light, so they hang out pretty deep

nolw says:

imagine getting attacked by one though.

nolw says:

swimming in open water, and just feeling that tenticle slide up around your ankle

nolw says:

that suction, as it gets a grip

nolw says:

and tugs you under

raymi says:

i would faint

raymi says:

or maybe kick it in the face

nolw says:

its face would be 20 feet below you

raymi says:

i would cut its arm off

nolw says:

you wouldnt even see its face, just the “arms”

raymi says:

well i would remove all of them

nolw says:

yes, i could see you swimming around with a knife in your teeth

nolw says:

fishing for dinner

raymi says:

well if i was out in open water for some reason i sure as shit would have a wetsuit on WITH A KNIFE

nolw says:

and a jetski maybe

raymi says:

well whatever

raymi says:

if i was out there id have something sharp

nolw says:

i think i’d let it take me down

nolw says:

i could go for being the first, and maybe only, recorded incident of a person being killed by a giant squid

raymi says:

to its underwater abyss?

raymi says:

yeh but then no one would know

nolw says:

yes, to where the aliens are

raymi says:

that would be fucking awesome

nolw says:

and then i’d get to meet chris elliot

raymi says:

hes not with the aliens

raymi says:

is he?

nolw says:

no, he’s still doing cameos

raymi says:

so how would you meet him down there

nolw says:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0254402/

raymi says:

ok i am aware of his filmography , ur talking osmosis jones?

a car alarm right outside has been going off now for a good ten minutes and at first i was all BLAAAAAAAHHAHAH but now i am all ahhhhh that’s soothing, what’s next, a powerdrill to the brain? bring it.

this is probably the best picture in the world and i want a t-shirt made out of it IMMEDIATELY. in fact i want everyone to make me t-shirts, i want one for everyday of the month and then you can knit me some sweater pants and beer mug cozies. yeh.

shitthatsfucked

90’s trivial pursuit is awesome and despite fil trying to steal the glory by saying he went to pick it up it was MY IDEA a long time ago and I suggested it last nite when he asked what is something fun to do that doesn’t involve being drunk and i said 90’s trivial pursuit from toys ‘r’us. mememMEMEMMEmemememe. so we went and i wanted every single stuffed animal there of course. and then we passed the liquor store and i wanted to pick something up but uncle fil said no way and so i turned into a complete psycho i want booze monster until we picekd up aimee and i popped a clonazepam and a couple wobbly pops. wheee.

i have also finally lost some weight. not like a lot but still, enough on the scale for me to feel a little bit better about myself finally.

i am going to be renting either a table or a room at the canzine festival which is october 30th at the gladstone. you can pick up a copy of my book and have it signed. i’m also going to be having shitty artwork and maybe some other writings together and noel is going to help me create some coolness atmosphere so you should definitely come by to look at me and whatever. there is also an all day long burlesque show. wicked.
