It's been a fairly busy couple of weeks. By my standards anyway ( Read more... )

Carrying on...

On the TV front Allie and I finished off the third season of Mad Men recently which was brilliant. The final episode of the season was possibly one of the finest episodes yet. We've also watched the mini-series The Camomile Lawn which was nicely diverting up until the final episode an we've started on season four of The Wire. I've ( Read more... )

Wispa got stuck in the door to her house last Tuesday night. We'd been giving her a medicine to stimulate her appetite, but she still wasn't eating and was growing puffier and puffier until that happened. She was clearly becoming very uncomfortable so Allie and I took her to the vet on Wednesday night and had her put down. I hated having to do ( Read more... )

I didn't do much last weekend. Allie was working on Saturday and I stayed in all day until Allie came home and Bill came over. We got chips and watched The Pink Panther which I'd never actually seen in full. Very funny.

I didn't do much on Sunday either. Church was very sad as I learned that one of the young men from the youth club had been ( Read more... )

Last Friday I continued my Cronenberg film festival with Scanners. It was a little more straight forward than some of his other films that I've been watching lately, but I still enjoyed it for what it was. I also went to Open House that night and ended up playing around with a guitar and being asked if I would want to get involved with the choir ( Read more... )

Catching up...

Tuesday of last week I made another trip to Portabello Market to pick up some more Jerusalem artichokes. Little else happened that day apart from Allie and I ordering pizza (a rarity) and watching a copy of The 40-Year-Old Virgin that I picked up cheap a while back after hearing good reviews. I enjoyed both, but I probably enjoyed ( Read more... )

Another counselling appointment last Wednesday. I didn't have any sparkly moments of self-realisation this time, but the counsellor did suggest that she'd like to refer me for psychotherapy which is interesting in itself. I think I'm going to take her up on it and see what the council is willing to offer. That afternoon Allie and I cooked up a ( Read more... )

Allie and I went to the theatre to see Speaking in Tongues on Saturday afternoon. It was bizarre and more than a little bleak, but worth seeing. Now I need to find the film Lantana that's based on it ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a pretty good day. It started out with Allie and I making a trip to the Back Show. The show was a mix of various companies (some a bit quacky, others not) all selling services or items related to back care. I saw a number of thing of interest there, but didn't actually buy anything. I did get a fifteen minute free massage though ( Read more... )

Went out to help Allie with a couple computer problems at work the Thursday before last. She'd worked it out by the time I got there, but it was still nice to go for lunch with her and pick out a few films to watch in my time off. And watching films and TV is, honestly, most of what I've been doing.

The next day I watched Nosferatu which I'd ( Read more... )
