I am boring myself!
Sorry for the sporadic posts, people, but life hasn’t been all that post worthy of late. Work is going really well. Still the same. Full on, challenging, scary, but ultimately awesome. Location still rocks. My housemate Serena Joy is still mad (as hatter), though she claims I am also mad, so I dunno who comes out on top with that one. Coming home with yet more pomegranates squirreled away in my handbag, she raised an eyebrow and commented that I even rivalled her in my ability to get obsessed.
The weekend was delightfully empty of stuff. I went to the movies with Serena (Devil Wears Prada), stole some minutes from Mat’s flying visit through London to have lunch with himself and Katie, and movies with Brigid on Sunday night (The Departed). You see? All good but doesn’t make me rush to the computer to record every nuance, so I won’t blab on and bore you more.
Boring times, by the way, are actually quite delightful so I am not complaining. I have put in alot of hard hards to get my life to boring stage, so don't knock it!
PS:
Devil Wears Prada - Ok, if you are really in the mood for a chick flick and won't mind coming out with the slightly sinking feeling that you really should do something about the daggy state of your wardrobe.
The Departed - Frickin awesome. I don't normally go in for gangsta style films. But The Departed is truly end of seat stuff. It is in the acting. You really give a sh!t about the characters. It is beautifully acted. The tension between the sheep in wolfs clothing / wolf in sheeps clothing plot is all in the fact that you care about what happens to these people, 'cept Matt Damons character. You do want him dead. But you are meant to. I am sure that I will not be spoiling the film at all to say that, regardless of who you want dead, alot of people end up dead.
Oh oh!! Speaking of which - hilarious moment last night when my housemate (the dumb one, not Serena) was watching Spooks and commented that, "Oh .. you would think that people would run away from the guys with guns .. it is interesting how people know which guy is dangerous..."... It was such a David Brent moment. I felt like saying to her, quite slowly, "Yes.. but it isn't actually real, is it, I mean it is just acting". My God. She is so dumb. Priceless.

I think lunch with Mat and I IS terribly exciting. There were papparazzi everywhere!
Also - you is very happy and well and looking great, so that's totally post worthy!

Yeah - sorry if that came across badly! It was more the bits that I did't say.. like the lovely time spent vacuming my room, doing my wholefoods shopping and buying two tops. Pottering time, without pots. All good.
.. also, I like to think of myself as looking "damn fine" rather than "great", if you don't mind.
emphasis on damn or fine?
I'd choose damn.
Emphasis on both! Like Damn! Fine! ... or even Damn!! Fine!, if you can get your linguistics around it... definitely not Damn Fine?!, but could get away with Damn fine...
It tend to think of emphasis like icecream topping, the more the better and plenty of different types. Mix it up. Keep it interesting.
but it's a fine line before you're yelling!
The Departed sounds good. Is that the new Martin Scorcese movie?
Sure is! I had a great time watching it - but I do love Leonardo. Not for the "he is so cute" thing, but he is a good really actor, and, yet again, he steals the show - which I think is saying something given the cast includes Jack Nicholoson.
Hmm, Marty and Leo have been spending quite a bit of time together lately. Is he the new Robert De Niro?
I thought Gangs of New York was amazing, but more due to Daniel Day-Lewis than Leo. Not that Leo was at all bad, but DDL was stunning.
Oh - DELETE HISTORY - if it's a household computer and you're talking about housemates... it could happen to you. don't become a statistic...
I need to get you a dvd with your Europe trip on it - this is more email appropriate...
