- Does the phrase 'I aent ded' mean anything? Also, the post title is not rhetorical, I'd like to know;)

- Life toddles on. My sister's wedding moves ever closer *makes face*. Yes, Hen Parties are the work of the devil especially when they co-incide with the Annual Birthday Pub Crawl (now in it's second year!) of a good friend. There may

Yay! Metropolis!
Matt and I are going to the Thursday 6pm showing - is that the same for you?

You listed Inception twice - intentional?

I have heard that Scott Pilgrim is surprisingly good.

Re: Greasy Spoons. If you ask for that in Sydney, you will get blank looks. There isn't an equivalent as such - plenty of fish and chip places though, that do stuff other than fish and chips, and then there's pie carts and bbq chicken stores - all of which do more than what their shop says. Tend to find more delis and corner shops that do fry ups, but also sell sandwiches. And then there's all the pizza places and general take-aways...

Yay for Big Bang word count!

"I aten't dead" is Granny Weatherwax's catchphrase from Terry Pratchett. She "borrows" the minds of animals and birds and while doing so lies on her bed with a sign informing visitors that she aten't dead.

As vayshti observes, pies are the big thing Down Under - Australia and NZ both. Very fond of their pies. But no greasy spoons.

Yay on the word count.

Life is, I have concluded after a nightmare day at work, overrated. Much better to take refuge in fandom sometimes.
