I agree. i have this thing about Irish and Scottish movies- they are all about the storytelling. Rarely flashy or cutting edge, just great storytelling. I love it. have you seen "Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself" ? - if not, I highly recommend

That indeed is the best funeral song ever. That is awesome that you can play it. You are a rock star. Not that I ever intend to die, but IF I do, I want that one played at my funeral. I do intend to be well into my hundreds before I pass, which means you will be almost as old as me, you will say "Eh?" alot, and any bad guitar playing (I know you actually play beautifully) you may still do at that decrepit age will only get worse. So I'll have to keep a recording of that song handy.
Sorry I haven't written in so long- I'm busy, I'm forgetful, excuses, excuses. I am not sorry in the sense that I feel guilty, I am sorry in the sense that I missed out on reading your journal for a couple of months now. Laundrysoap revolution is very catchy.
