Getting ahead of myself

Getting ahead of myself

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.

Pre-emptive

Pre-emptive

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.

So-so

So-so

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, …

Unsettled

Unsettled

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 …

Sick

Sick

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.

Out of time

Out of time

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 …

Tired

Tired

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.

Thankful

Thankful

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 …

Okay

Okay

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.

Relieved

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 …

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

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.

Lord of the Rings

Lord of the Rings

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 …

It's Friday, it's 7:30, it's...

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 …

Brothers

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 …

Britney

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 …

Christmas

Christmas

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 …
