The insanely boring life…

A short film was made in 1969 by David Lynch, called The Alphabet.

Now, I took the time out of my busy day to look at this bizarre short film, and I have came to my conclusion of what it means: I think it is a load of strangeness that no one, save David Lynch himself, can ever hope to understand. I think the girl might just be a little disturbed and had trouble learning the alphabet, or something, but OK.

Something odd that I actually expected to happen: I expected that something will pop up any moment and I will shriek for the neighbours to hear. You know, like those videos you watch where everything is serene and then all of a sudden a sharp noise and sudden flash of a revolting image scares you to death.

Of course, that never happened. Instead, this made me think of the video in The Ring. If you want to see it, be my guest. Follow the link.

Right, Alex gave me a shout out, so it is only fair that I give one back to her.

Her blog is located on blogger.com and she is one of the few people who read my blog. She is still learning this whole blog thing, but she is doing it surprisingly quickly.

She really knows how to listen to a person, but when she starts talking, I must admit, she is very amusing. Obviously, her blog will grow along with her (as had mine, since it is now two years since I started blogging) and I suggest that you check it out. She is really not your typical emo disaster-waiting-to-happen.

So, here is to Alex, and I hope you have fun in the blogosphere!

On another note, I went to see Wolf Creek with my firend, Mia. It was scary, yes, but where they got the 18 age restriction, I will never know. I mean, I have seen horrors much worse, rated 16. I mean, I am sorry, but the age restriction was ridiculous. There were no sex scenes, there were no obscene kissing, nothing!

But the fact that those events actually happened are horrible. At least, one can only assume so, because one of the characters, Ben, was actually found alive to tell the story. He was arrested, though, as if he were the guilty one. I am sorry, but the police are stupid. He was arrested and released after 4 months in custody. I mean, come on! He was crucified to a fence! Surely that must count as something!

Well, I don’t know. It was an interesting movie, but not something I will see twice.

But why did we (South Africa) only get it in 2007, when it was released in 2005! We don’t usually wait THAT long to see a movie, after America gets it. But this was an Australian film, so that is different, I suppose.

If anyone remembers my previous attempt at a song, then you might also remember that it was not of the highest standard. Well, I am here to tell you that neither is the new song. I am trying, and one day I will get there. The song is arranged in such a way that I could not possibly say which hand should play which part. I tried my best, as you can see from the sheet music. If you want to play it, then just try and figure it out, if you REALLY want to. I tried to make it as easy as possible.

I did not make a recording of me playing it, because I have not yet played it to my liking and my own standards. You can see the sheet music and/or listen to the midi, though.

• You can download the PDF of the sheet music here.
• You can download the MIDI file here.

The whole point of this song was, originally, to write something happy. As you can hear, I tried, but every time I tried something happy, it just mutated into something that sounded more like a graveyard. Enjoy my attempt at happiness!
