So, everything was going fine on Tuesday. Until the evening when I got hit with what I can only imagine was the demonic semi of karmic retribution for all my past sins. The morning was actually ok. I even have a slightly amusing anecdote ( Read more... )

Hey guys! I've got the internet (as you may have guessed). This is through a combination of my pleading with my flat mate/land lord and the kind patience of 58th_spirit who helped me buy a laptop. Anyhoo, since last I wrote I have started working in Hatchards bookshop, the best bookshop in the UK. This must be true for it says so on our bags. It's very tiring ( Read more... )

So, I was rather ill yesterday. Which was a bit embarrassing as I had to phone work and tell them that I was ill with exactly the same thing I'd been ill with exactly a week before (a stomach bug). I put it three to one that my boss thinks I lie like a liar. Which, to be fair, he should as the first time wasn't so much me being ill as me being ( Read more... )

So… I went to see Wanted yesterday. It has a lot in common with Fight Club. Pathetic antagonist escapes his boring cubical-working life with the aid of much violence. The main difference between the two films is that one is a huge stinking pile of turds and the other is Fight Club.

I’d say it’s main mistake is that it can’t tell the difference ( Read more... )

I just spent my lunch hour dozing in the V&A garden. It was wonderful, lying in the sun like a cat listening to Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald dueting on my mp3. After all morning in my agressively air-conditioned basement room, it was like the heat soaked into my bones. And then I had to come back here. 

Crap... haven't posted for ages. What have I been doing? Um... I went to see Iron Man for the third time. I saw Strictly Gershwin at the Royal Albert Hall, which was rockin' and has convinced me that I have to learn to tap-dance before I can be a complete human being. I spent Saturday morning cleaning the flat from top to bottom, which caused my ( Read more... )

Well, it's official. The best week of the summer is the one starting Saturday 26th July. I'm sure there are man cool things happening that week, but the ones I have found out about are the Doctor Who at the Proms and The People's Premier of Hellboy II at Somerset House.  And guess what. This is also the week in which I'm going to be in North Wales ( Read more... )

I was all pissed off with DC yesterday, after I read the spoilers that 
Steph had been brought back to life in such a lacadaisical fashion with (yeah, right!) Bruce knowing all along. What with Jason turning up it seems that DC is set on reversing all the deaths in batman that ever meant anything. How long is it till we findout that Bruce's parents ( Read more... )

I've just watched this episode on BBCi and thought it was ok. Nothing particularly special and pretty unoffensive. But ( Read more... )
