Headed out for a few bits and pieces. Picked up a copy of <i>The Commitments<\/i> on DVD for an entire \u00a34.99. Just finished watching it and it&#8217;s allright, certainly glad I didn&#8217;t pay full price for it but I enjoyed it well enough.<\/p>\n<p>Some reading going on, just a few comics. I&#8217;ve been meaning to reread some Bester stuff recently and talking to a friend this evening reminded me of that. I&#8217;ll dig one of them out later. Comics wise <i>Wildcats Version 3.0<\/i> remains one of the best titles on the market.<\/p>\n<p>So I guess I have the incentive to sort stuff out now, if I&#8217;m going to move every fucking thing I own I may aswell get some sort of order going on too. Still worried about all of this, very worried in fact. I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s like everything else, it just has to be done and it will all work out but I don&#8217;t know how. Kinda like life I guess. One of the many things about it that really bothers me is that it&#8217;s going to be there until I do manage to move and it&#8217;ll be at the back or front of my mind nagging and worrying me. Just what I need, I&#8217;m never good with things like that.<\/p>\n<p>There had been much talk yesterday of a group of us meeting up for a cinema trip, today no-one was actually interested enough to make a phone call. Myself included. I had intended to but then I just really wasn&#8217;t bothered.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s kinda cold here, I even gave some thought to putting the heat on but then dismissed it. It&#8217;s only the start of October, ha I was going to say another month till the heat can go on but guess I won&#8217;t be around here to turn the heat on. <\/p>\n<p>So um yeah, I&#8217;ve said it before and I&#8217;ll say it again I&#8217;m sure I have no idea where the year has gone to. It feels like it&#8217;s flown by and more importantly there is nothing to show for it.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how I can be tired, I&#8221;ve only been up for 10 hours and most of that has been time spent doing nothing! But I am. I think I&#8217;ll read something quick and then hit the sack or maybe some tv for a while.<\/p>\n<p>I played the lotto tonight, figured with the 2 wins down the pub lately it was worth a try. It was of course not. Ah well. Still I got to spend some time thinking about what I would do if I won. A couple of houses anyway one in London so I could still do my job and not be bored lots and one in Dublin to be my house. It would all be so nice&#8230;and of course there would be a big comic shop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a quiet enough day.
