Last night I dreamed we kissed on a bench in the evening...
At the moment I just love, love, love Our Earthly Pleasures by MaxÏmo Park. As usual I'd been drawn in by the singles, but with the whole album on my iPod primed for the journey to Lakeside on Saturday I fell in love with the rest of the album. Nosebleed and Parisian Skies are just amazing. Stunning lyrics.
There's also so much good new music to come, I bought the new Hard Fi CD today and I know that next Monday there's Graduation by Kanye West and Drastic Fantastic by KT Tunstall. I also have the latest Travis, Boy with No Name to look forward too.
I haven't posted in a while, not a lot going on really. A few new things coming up for me at work though, which I'm really looking forward to. Hopefully some new books that I can really get stuck into, I like getting my teeth into stuff, having a new challenge while juggling the projects I'm already working on. People always tell me that I'm a good work juggler!
My Arsenal boys have made a good start to the season and I'm pleased with the way they're playing at the moment, long may it continue. Rafa Nadal doing well in the US Open. If I wake in the early hours this morning I will most definitely check Ceefax to see how he's going. Damn the time difference.
The new series of The X Factor is as usual, pure comic delight as I sit cackling at those poor deluded no hopers. Beautiful.
As usual I have been watching a ton of films and a few weekends ago I got season 2 of Sleeper Cell on DVD and quickly polished that off in less than a week. I wasn't quite as hooked as I was with the first season, but I still enjoyed it very much. Shame it looks like there won't be any more, these shows just seem to get cancelled. After thre Diana 10 year anniversary ITV showed The Queen on Sunday, with Helen Mirren et al. What inspired casting, James Cromwell as the DofE. He was exactly how I imagined the DofE:
Aide: It's Diana
DofE: Oh, what's she done now? (Heh..)
There was not just that line, but all the other non-PC stuff that the man is associated with. I thought it was quite a well-rounded film, neither blaming nor aquitting the Queen and the Royal Family, showing Blair as both being sympathetic towards and despairing of such an antiquated and traditional movement that is the monarchy. Of course, with some parts it was hard to tell how much stuff had been exaggerated. Somehow I can well believe that Alistair Campbell was behind the People's Princess speech, though. I suppose really it also took us back to that unprecedented and somewhat manic week in late August and early September 1997.
Off to read some poetry, I keep forgetting what a good collection of books I have.
