Making people laugh, going to comedy gigs, going to music gigs, laughing like a twat, playing bass, laughing like a twat, writing really bad songs, laughing like a twat, listening to music, laughing like a twat, obsessing, being a comedy nerd, being a nerd, writing really long and pointless blogs, making unrealistic plans, taking photographs.

Filmler
Films are good. I don't have an extensive film knowledge, and so I mainly like things by Hitchcock and Kubrick.
Televizyon
Mainly comedy shows. My favourites being..: A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Peep Show, Lee and Herring's Fist of Fun, This Morning With Richard Not Judy, Flight of the Conchords, Black Books, Father Ted, the IT Crowd, the Day Today, Brass Eye, Green Wing, Big Train, Spaced, the Smoking Room, Snuff Box, Attention Scum!, Jam, Dr Terrible's House of Horrible, World of Pub, Rock Profile.
As explained to almost everyone I meet, if I could talk about two things for hours, they would be: Superheroes and cartoons. Cartoons are amazing. Obviously, Top Cat is the ultimate cartoon chatacter, but other brilliant pieces of animation include: Scooby Doo (Minus that moron, Scrappy. Prick.); Johnny Bravo; He-Man; Catch the Pigeon; Wacky Races; The Flintstones; Pinky and the Brain; House of Rock; CatDog; Tom and Jerry; Cow and Chicken; Dexter's Lab; Angry Beavers
For a while I had "Most BBC3 comedies" written here. I can tell I wrote this a long time ago as BBC3 has gone severely downhill. I loved it when shows like the Mighty Boosh, Ideal and Nighty Night first started on there. Now it's all horrific as they believe their "demographic" consists only of morons. The main culprit in the BBC3 Unfunny Fiasco, for me, will always be Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps. Why is that still being shown? Why don't they just give up? It's the visual equivalent of being battered to death with a small child's keyboard, then having it inserted into the smallest orifice of your bitter, cold, lifeless corpse. Get on the BBC4 thing before it gets ruined too. For the moment it's mainly excellent shows about music and Flight of the Conchords. Ace.
I'd really really really like to get into tv writing (really). I had a sitcom idea and wrote one episode, but looking back on it, it was terrible. I had a nice chat with Graham Linehan over rum and wine (imagine I've said that in a nonchelant tone, when really, if I said it aloud, I'd be grinning my stupid little face off) and he gave me some nice advice. He's good people. He also quoted Hemingway, "The first draft of anything is shit." True story.
Kitaplar
Working in a bookshop is bad for me. I've accumulated so many new books since starting working there but I can't find time to read them. Saying that, I could be reading them rather than filling this in... 'Please Kill Me: An Uncensored Oral History of Punk' by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain is possibly the best book I've ever read.
I enjoy books by Evelyn Waugh, Kurt Vonnegut, Chuck Palahniuk, George Orwell, Richard Brautigan, Will Self, Stephen Fry, Mark Gatiss, Oscar Wilde, Richard Dawkins, Mikhail Bulgakov. And Charlie Brooker's G2 articles.
I quite like graphic novels although they're ridiculously expensive sometimes.
Factual books too. Good. Especially ones about music. Or scandals. Or scandals within the music industry.
Here is a pile of books I've still to read and some I plan on re-reading(*)...
....
[From left pile to right...] '24 Hour Party People' by Tony Wilson; 'Bad Science' by Ben Goldacre; 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde(*); 'The God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins (*); 'Guided By Voices: A Brief History' by James Greer; 'Black Mischief' by Evelyn Waugh; 'Great Apes' by Will Self; 'Executioner: Chronicles of a Victorian Hangman' by Stewart P. Evans; 'Breakfast of Champions' by Kurt Vonnegut (*); 'Like A Rolling Stone' by Steve Kurutz; 'With Nails' by Richard E. Grant; 'The Hippopotamus' by Stephen Fry; 'Mozipedia' by Simon Goddard; 'Philosophy: 100 Essential Thinkers' by Philip Stokes; 'Dr Mukti and Other Tales of Woe' by Will Self; 'The Book of Dave' by Will Self (*); 'We Need To Talk About Kevin' by Lionel Shriver; 'Lonesome Dove' by Larry McMurty; 'Our Lady of the Flowers' by Jean Genet; 'Dorian' by Will Self; 'Plays, Prose, Writings and Poems' by Oscar Wilde; 'The Master and Margarita' by Mikhail Bulgakov (*); 'Lolita' by Vladmir Nabokov (*); 'Ulysses' by James Joyce; 'The Life of Pi' by Yann Martel; 'My Struggle' by Paul Merton; 'Trash: The Complete New York Dolls' by Kris Needs and Dick Porter; 'Snake 'n' Bacon' by Michael Kupperman; 'Dress To Kill' by Eddie Izzard, 'Backstage Passes' by Angela Bowie; 'The Jeeves Omnibus: Volume One' by P.G Wodehouse; 'London Journals 1762-63' by James Boswell; 'From Hell' by Alan Moore (*)
I'm not religious in the slightest, but I do love a bit of the ol' Leviticus, with pearls of wisdom such as:
A person who has a dreaded skin disease must wear torn clothes, leave his hair uncombed, cover the lower part of his face and call out, "Unclean! Unclean!"Leviticus 13:45
Kahramanları
Friends, family, Chris Morris.
Of course, the main person is my wonderful Schwest. Even though she seems to have lengthened and complicated her name just to spite me. I learnt to spell it. She reckons that Mhorbhairne is pronounced 'Morven', but it's clearly 'Ma-Horr-Buh-Hair-Neh'
But srsly, she rules. And to make this even cheesier:
I believe I was 3 days old and she was 5 years, 2 weeks and 3 days old. Can I get an 'Awww'?
Any of the idols really, especially those who have worked harder than others or are doing things differently to anyone else. Although, they all sell out in the end. Squares. Enjoy it while it lasts. Mmm... Bailey's... Delicious...
kirsten inneski Hey Princess! Over there! Why you sitting over there when you've got a warm spot to share in the Prince's bed? In the Prince's bed. 5 May 2009 tarihinde devamı
Rory says: i had the weirdest dream last night. you were in it.
Rory says: We were all being persecuted like jews and sent to a concentration camp but it was just the before feeling of going to the camps
Rory says: like everyone was crying and shit
Rory says: you were the one who took everyone to the concentration camps
Kimle tanışmak isterim: All the people I'd like to meet are dead. Selfish bastards. Except Charlie Brooker. And Chris Morris... And Graham Linehan (who, I incidentally did meet in March '09. Best. Two hours. Ever.)
I like meeting new people because it means you get to test the boundaries and see how offensive you're allowed to be. This means pushing things further than necessary. All in the name of research.

Loz and I were talking about you recently! (In a nice way of course.) I asked her how you were. It's lovely to hear from you as usual and I hope you're doing good. What have you been up to?
I've been mega busy. Four gigs with a lot to prepare for including a big long video introduction for The Dead Don't Sue. I'll send you a link and you can tell me what you think. Lauren thought it was barmy.
Argh, Myface did it again. I'm not being rude and ignorant, I promise!
Innes is still a good surname. I'm lumbered with boring ol' Harrison. That's a farmer's surname. It doesn't help that the way I talk is how the entire county of Yorkshire would sound, if it had a voice. It's like the universe is giving me giant hints about my future career choice.
I never know what to say about myself, because i'm boring. Here's a few things off the top of my head, apologies if it makes you want to fall asleep: Well, i'm in college right now, taking journalism. Since starting, however, i've decided I don't want to be a journalist. It's just so depressing, writing about war and death and all the bad things in the world, so I think i'd like to be a screenwriter. I change my mind every five minutes, so I may end up not doing that, but i'd like to do something creative, and something where I can make people smile, rather than want to slit their wrists because they're reading the 47359393 thousandth article on the economic depression. Um, something else about myself, this is hard. I like comedy. Mostly modern British comedy, to be a bit more precise. Due to being 17 and also having very little disposable income, I don't get to see much stand-up, but as soon as I start making more, and hit 18, there's lots of comedians I would like to see. Top of my list would be Simon Amstell and Frankie Boyle. Actually, that's a lie. I'd like to see Bill Hicks, but somehow I don't think that's gonna happen...
Sorry for rambling on. Let's learn about you! I'm sure you're far more interesting than I am.
Kirsten, Sadly 'The Oeuvre' has been remaindered as there were too many traffic/factory accidents delivering stock. Plus, due to good old government intervention, all existing copies are now being ploughed back into recycling facilities to stabilise Peru's economy after the catastrophic loss of rainforest incurred while manufacturing the book. Howev, all this is moot because 'The Oeuvre' is now embarrassingly out of date, my having written a further sixty seven novels since its publication two and a half years ago. Send me a cheque for twelve and a half thousand pounds (not including VAT but including the £18.99 recommended retail price), and I will have one of my contributer's copies hauled out to you within the year).
