I fucking love these bugs, man!

The days when I would spend hours on end trying to convince people to listen to a specific group, song, album or watch a specific film or you know, generally trying to brainwash people into liking the same stuff I do are long gone. But I've come across something that I just feel this physical need to recommend. It's a v disturbing short film directed by Carter Smith, based on a story by Scott Treleaven that I've not read. Actually, the most disturbing thing about this film is that I don't find it disturbing. It just feels like I should. But either way, it's also well-made and artistic aswell as sort of... uh. Just watch the damn thing. It's approximately 35 minutes long, and the link is here; Bugcrush! Voilá! No excuse not to, eh.

A couple of days ago someone phoned me on my mobile and wanted to talk to my father. I politely informed the person that this is no longer my father's mobile. He had the decency to explain to me why he'd phoned. Apparently, he wanted to buy the an internet address, namely "myfather'slastname".se and somehow he'd found out that it was owned - but not used - by someone with my father's name and that he wanted to buy it. He also informed me that there were eight people in this country who share my father's name. I was slightly surprised, I would've thought it would be more. But either way, I assured him that my dad own no such webaddress, and that he could safely phone the next person on the list. And then I said "good luck" and hung up. I will now have to check on this website every now and then to see why this guy so desperately wanted to buy it.
