I bought some envelopes today but forgot to get stamps so that's not good... but anyway, the guy I bought them from was trying to talk to me but he wasn't saying anything normal. Conversation that I expect from a salesperson - "nice day, isn't it?" or something relating to my purchases, "Have you tried the self-sticking envelopes?" That kind of thing. This guy was going on about how he …

I'm feeling kinda good about myself today, my hair is behaving - that helps. Mr C and I watched the Eurovision together last night, and I got a bit drunk while we were watching. Way to go UK - nil point! I missed my mother a lot while we were watching it because it's sort of a family tradition that we watch it together. Perhaps we'll just have to start …

From one extreme to the other. It's raining. I like rain but not today. Definitely gloomy.

I asked my mother what mood she thought I was in and the answer that I got was "You appear to be quite jolly!" So I am. I went for a walk today, along the river and through the woods, it was very pretty.

An old friend sent me a long email filling me in on everything she's been doing in the two years it's been since we saw each other. It's almost as if nothing's changed. It was just like old times, but it's also completely different. I've moved so far away from those days but sometimes it feels like I'm still right back there. And in a way I am. But aside …

I was inside and I decided I wanted to go sit out, so I got out the blanket that I sit on and everything, I just got settled with my notepad to write some poetry and then just as I started getting creative, it started to rain. Damn the English weather!

A very sweet man at the petrol station let me in front of him in the queue, because I just wanted to pay for my fuel, and he had a whole armful of stuff.

Okay, so each second that I'm living is going about as fast as a snail, and yet I never seem to get anything done. Not that I have anything that's particularly pressing to get done but it's kinda annoying. Mother and I just watched Now and Then that I recorded from yesterday, I love the music in that film!

Today, I was driving through Dartmoor and winding around those intriguing roads. Into my head popped an amazing story, and I was visualising it being adapted from the book to television, on the BBC. Of course, the big obstacle is writing it, but at least the dream is there.

Deep Blue Sea was on last night and I hadn't seen it before. I knew, however, that Samuel L Jackson died in the middle, and time was ticking on and I complained that he hadn't died yet. Two seconds before he got eaten. Oops.

We went to see Final Destination 2 last night and it was really good. It wasn't as good as the first one as there was less plot and more gore, but any film that shows a man getting a ladder in his eye, a boy being squashed by a sheet of glass and a guy being sliced into pieces by barbed wire, that's gotta be pretty damn good. Of course, …

I hate computers... I updated this once already today, well, yesterday and it just disappeared. Typical. Today was the longest day of my life, second after second ticked by slow as ever. I even wrote a poem called Bored. Says it all really, doesn’t it? When I got home, took a nice shower then settled down to watch some Buffy. Looks like I'm gonna have to speed watch and get …

I don’t feel so good today. I had the day off and slept most of it and still all I want to do is crawl back under the covers. In more positive news, we just watched Ocean's Eleven and Brad Pitt has never looked finer.

I’ve spent most of the weekend sorting through all the junk I came back with from my trip home. I found a poem I wrote when I was eleven, I didn’t realise I wrote stuff when I was that young. I thought it was a recent thing. We were also looking through this old tin box with toys and things in and then we came across these really old exercise …

Insomniacs are relentless about time, about night-time, because each minute is another grain of sand through the hour-glass and into your head for the next day. Time For Bed, David Baddiel I'm no insomniac, but I can understand that. I could not sleep at all last night. I grabbed an hour between 11 and 12, and then I watched the clock tick by until about half 2. The rest of …

Okay, first things first? I can't get any of the Queen songs out of my head and I can't stop listening to them! Oh no! I really should be glad though, because they've stopped me going down the destructive path I was headed on - the liking of U2! So thank you Queen and Ben Elton!

Friends was on yesterday - a double bill and all! It was completely chuckle-full and brilliant as usual. I have a whole day ahead of me today and have no idea what to do with it.

At about this time 24 hours ago, I was about to go and see the brilliant We Will Rock You. It was really, really good and I would recommend it to every single person that even half likes a Queen song. Tony Vincent was pretty tasty as Galileo as well! I had an interesting tour of London, I saw China Town and Hamley's, oh and I got taught about an …

Today I have just attempted to tidy up all the mess that I made yesterday. I didn’t get up until late, having not gone to bed until 3am, so it’s been an odd day. The Osbournes is playing in the background. I have to say I’ve avoided it mostly so far, but I can understand how people find it funny.

I can never help myself. I have a gorgeous apple and blackberry crumble sitting in front of me. I know that it's hot, just out of the oven, but still... I'd sacrifice ending up with a burnt tongue for any kind of crumble, it has to be my favourite dessert! I thought I was having a useless day, I was trying to achieve things but they weren't going right. I …

I spent my day as I hoped I would, with Mr C. The rest of the day will be involved with just sorting stuff out before tomorrow, when – eeshk, back to work.

It’s just... amazing. I mean, even that word doesn’t do it justice, I’m honestly speechless about it and there are few things that can have that effect on me. Two thoughts – Orlando Bloom, beautiful man! I could never get a crush on him, but my god... he’s beautiful! And secondly, the scenery? I can’t even begin to describe it. I love a film that I can get totally lost …

The last day of work! Then two whole fabulously festive weeks off! Yesterday started out as the worst day I’ve ever known but it got so much better. Mr C and I settled down with take-out pizza and watched a rip-off of MTV where there were only a select few videos that were on loop. I mean, let’s be honest, there’s only so many times you can hear ‘Sound of …

Because my brother is away at the moment and has limited space available, I get to look after all his videos for him. I have collected from him all the series’ of Friends that are out, and today he brought me six seasons of Buffy. Now this is a real treat, because I only manage to catch the occasional Buffy episode and although I love it, I never seem to …

I just watched Britney in her film Crossroads. It was a lot better than I thought it would be, which is a sneaky way of not really giving you any opinion on it at all. Britney was also a better actress than I thought she would be. Ha. I didn’t really buy the name Lucy, though. Of course, the main problem with the film is that I don’t get on …

We went to see the James Bond film yesterday, I really enjoyed it! I know it's been around for a while, we were going to see it before but somehow never got round to it. It is good though, and Halle Berry, she has perfect skin.

Well, here I am once again, munching on Christmas cheesie biscuit things. I've changed my mind about the moans of the Yuletide season though, for tomorrow I am heading out to do my Christmas Shopping. I love to buy gifts for others, imagining what they will say once it's opened, and how they will run off to show people. When I'm out shopping for others, I rarely imagine what they'll …

I cannot decide whether I like Christmas or not. Last night we put the tree up and it looks amazing, it really does. However, my friend decided she wanted to spray the tree with glitter, so the whole of our room is completely covered yet there’s hardly a drop on the tree. Ah, well, we have to get into the spirit, right? No, the real reason I want to have …
