you gotta love technology right?!
i mean true, the world is sadly STILL lacking hover-boards... but, well i'm actually gonna turn to a tweet that sums this up as well as i ever could...
and its funny that i should turn to twitter...
its a great tool, i can communicate any kind of brain-fart anywhere around the world... genius.
get a tweet of akira the don... day made.
earlier tonight, fresh after watching troll hunter, i sent a tweet about 'Rogue River', which i watched last week and in all honesty didn't rate very highly...
"Unlike Rogue River which i watched the other night, which was just draught up sh!t... #justsaying"
that's what i wrote...
despite the over-use of the word 'which', in all honesty that tweet is probably longer than any review i could be arsed to right about the film...
imagine my surprise when it was retweeted by the film's director...!!
who does seem to be a nice enough bloke...
but now i feel bad...
not because i said online that his film was sh!t, which it is... but rather that the tweet doesn't actually say what i wanted it to say...
i don't want him to have misinterpreted it as some kind of 'street' recommendation of his work... i genuinely think its sh!t...
i actually tweeted a clarification straight afterwards...
"last tweet should say 'straight up sh!t'... but 'draught up sh!t is an #autocorrect i can live with..."
but he never retweeted that, or even necessarily saw it...
had i known the original tweet would have reached out in such a direct way, i don't know if i'd have been as happy to live with the mistake...
autocorrect being another common feature in c21st communication, one which can be a cause of immense amusement...
but i don't want to get into that... just yet
peace-out y'all
