I’m having another one of those mornings where I want to type something out but nothing looks right on the page. So I’ll go off back to my good old standby of a list.

– I have a deep love for Vanilla Sky. I rented it a couple of years ago and have watched it 4 or 5 times since then. I watched the original Abre los ojos last night and enjoyed it. I don’t think I enjoyed it as much as the remake, and I’ll put that down to Cameron Crowe. I love his style and one of the things which help sell me on it was the soundtrack. I went out and bought it very soon after seeing the movie and it’s one of the few soundtracks I own. I’m listening to it now infact.

– I saw Shrek 2 recently and enjoyed it alot. It made me laugh quite a bit and despite having little or no plot it was thoroughly entertaining. Well worth seeing.

– Saturday night was fun. Only a few people showed up so we sat around a table and chatted for the evening. There was much picking on Jamie and a couple of stories retold everytime someone joined the group. Good fun all round and a late one at The Scream.

– I’ve started playing City of Heroes and it’s good fun. I do like the way you can have many characters on many servers. It gives a lot more range and choice to start over or to just play around with things. Going strong on one character at the moment and had a whole lot of fun running around in a team yesterday. Not sure of it’s long term playability and it’s bloody pricy to start playing but I’m onboard for a couple of months anyway.

– How the fuck is a Nokia connection cable £27 fucking quid? Bastards.

– I am stupidly excited about Spider-Man 2. Apparently there is a showing on Tuesday of next week being mooted in a private V folder and I’m hopefully on the list in time to get a ticket for it. Cannot. Wait. It looks ace and all the reviews are good. I’m so tempted to just go home and watch it but I want to see it on the big screen…and then go home and watch it!

– Every day brings more and more hope for Batman Begins. It’s all starting to look like a Batman movie should look like and will with a bit of luck restore the franchise and give us a few years of good movies. Now that would be nice.

– I have to pack my entire desk by the weekend. This is probably a good thing but I have deadlines this week. I don’t think they are in any danger but a combination of factors is putting some pressure on em. I hope to throw out so much shit from my desk and be able to start clear. Tho we are getting much smaller desks from the sound of it which won’t be good. It also means that Friday afternoon is pretty much a write-off which isn’t too bad I guess.

– Tesco Mega-Value shelves are great for lunch!

– 8 people get into a lift. 1 person presses for the second floor. No-one else thinks to hit a button and seconds later we end up back at the ground floor to a few surprise faces inside and outside of the lift. Not the best Monday morning start but it was a laugh.

– Man I’m really shit at sending emails. Really really shit. Catching up on a couple now and it suddenly just struck me that I had a friend due in London last week that I never heard from.

– I just spent two hours in the CD lab, I have no idea what I did to deserve it. It’s a joy when things go right, otherwise it’s a complete fucking nightmare.

– And yes I still have to write up the rest of Glastonbury.
