So I&#8217;ll go off back to my good old standby of a list.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I have a deep love for <i>Vanilla Sky<\/i>. I rented it a couple of years ago and have watched it 4 or 5 times since then. I watched the original <i>Abre los ojos<\/i> last night and enjoyed it. I don&#8217;t think I enjoyed it as much as the remake, and I&#8217;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&#8217;s one of the few soundtracks I own. I&#8217;m listening to it now infact.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I saw <i>Shrek 2<\/i> 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.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 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. <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I&#8217;ve started playing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cityofheroes.com\/\">City of Heroes<\/a> and it&#8217;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&#8217;s long term playability and it&#8217;s bloody pricy to start playing but I&#8217;m onboard for a couple of months anyway.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; How the fuck is a Nokia connection cable \u00a327 fucking quid? Bastards.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I am stupidly excited about <i>Spider-Man 2<\/i>. Apparently there is a showing on Tuesday of next week being mooted in a private V folder and I&#8217;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&#8217;m so tempted to just go home and watch it but I want to see it on the big screen&#8230;and then go home and watch it! <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Every day brings more and more hope for <a href=\"http:\/\/batmanbegins.warnerbros.com\/\">Batman Begins<\/a>. It&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I have to pack my entire desk by the weekend. This is probably a good thing but I have deadlines this week. I don&#8217;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&#8217;t be good. It also means that Friday afternoon is pretty much a write-off which isn&#8217;t too bad I guess.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Tesco Mega-Value shelves are great for lunch!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 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. <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Man I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I just spent two hours in the CD lab, I have no idea what I did to deserve it. It&#8217;s a joy when things go right, otherwise it&#8217;s a complete fucking nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; And yes I still have to write up the rest of Glastonbury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m having another one of those mornings where I want to type something out but nothing looks right on the page.
