New Serial (why not?)

OK, I know there's a handful of people who are going to groan, "Oh she's going to try doing a serial in her blog again. It will start daily and then go weekly, then maybe once every three months and then we'll never hear about it again." Remember the famous "Why is that on your iPod" thing? Yeah, too much effort. This I can use IMDB and Goooogle - tres simple.

I love quotes (I hope that didn't give anyone a shock), and rather than pressuring myself to do the bigger serials like blogging the incomplete scribbles of travel journals (as the original intent of this here plot on the world wide web). That is just too hard (hence not having done one in near a year) but I'll try to do that monthly..Ahem.

So here's the 1st in the Serial! I present August 2, 2006's Quote of the Day!!

My favorite quote from, Trainspotting:

Well It's SHITE being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched miserable servile pathetic trash that was ever shat on civilization. Some people hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are colonized by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to get colonized by. We're ruled by effete assholes. It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and all the fresh air in the world won't make any fucking difference! -Renton, standing in the highlands

If you haven't seen this movie, you must. If you think you might want to try heroin, I suggest you don't because you may consider it (as illustrated by another Renton quote: "People think it's all about misery and desperation and death and all that shit which is not to be ignored, but what they forget is the pleasure of it. Otherwise we wouldn't do it. After all, we're not fucking stupid." or even more vividly, Allison's quote, " That beats any meat injection. That beats any fucking cock in the world."). It's got a great soundtrack, and is in fact a trip in and of itself.
