Fucksocks is the best way to describe today. I'll spare you the details but I am rather grumbly with work at the moment......but fuck it, it's friday, Rebus is on the telly and I have chocolate.

Of course the other thing to ask is.......why no blogging? Well, my days are so monotonous it would not only bore me ridgid recounting it, reading it would be just as bad.

Having said that my driving is coming along nicely - managed 3 parallel parks in a row and I've had no practice since Monday. I think I may have turned a corner, hurrah!

Another thing, I can't understand......why do the people who make trailers insist on using Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones on trailers for Martin Scorsese films?

This weekend has been a bit of a bore. Did next to bugger all.

Watched Broken Flowers, Shaun of the Dead and Ong-Bak on DVD. Went to the cinema and saw 'The Queen' - excellent film, Helen Mirren is fantastic.

Caught up with Extras and Rebus, thanks to utorrent.

Watched Arsenal beat the scum.......oh how I laugh.....ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, it's almost better than Leeds nearly being bottom of the Championship.......ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Nose back to the grind stone tomorrow.....I already can't be arsed.

On a different note I am in a grump today and I'm actually getting cross with myself for being in a grump. Grrrr.......

I currently stink of developer, the smell is ingrained in my hands. No biscuits for me tonight then, *grumble grumble*.

Not much of a weekend really, had to work on Saturday after saying goodbye to a workmate on Friday. It meant no drinking but I really wasn't bothered.

Went to see A Scanner Darkly on Saturday evening. Weird little film, as you would expect from a PK Dick adaptation. Good script from Richard Linklater, some very funny bits (the bit with the 18 speed bike is priceless) and this is a shocker - Woody Harrelson in decent acting scandal, he's very well cast as stoner Eddie.

Saw Right At Your Door on Sunday. It's about a 'dirty' bomb attack in LA. It was crap. Written with a stick, the characters changed their tone in almost every scene. I found myself questioning what they were doing and mentally saying 'they wouldn't do that'. As for plot twist, if you pay attention, you'll work it out about 30 mins from the end.

Hopefully will catch Little Miss Sunshine, The Queen and an advanced screening of Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby on Thursday. Not sure that I'll see the Black Dahlia. One Scarlett Johanssen is in it and I find her annoying, Two as a massive Ellroy fan I can't help but feel that I'm going to be disappointed.

What a shitola blogger I am. My problem is I forget.

In my head I form a witty, interesting post.......five minutes later I have a mental fart and it's gone.

Anywho, a quick round of the last 2 ish weeks (blimey, has it been that long!?!)......

Work - bloody hell, I'm bored with it, I really honestly mean it. The first part of my escape plan* has fallen into place. I passed my driving theory test on Monday. It's only the third time I've had to take it......after letting the last expire. Twit. It won't happen this time, I have a lesson tomorrow when I'll be assessed and told when i can take my test. Should have it cracked in time for Santa's visit. To make things worse, a close friend from work leaves for London tomorrow *sob*.

Play - The only thing I'm really concentrating on at the moment is photography. Love it. Could happily do it all day. I couldn't make it a career as I'm not good enough but it has given me a creative outlet......something I am lacking at work.

This is my favourite picture at the moment.......if blogger would upload the fecker....anyway it's here if you want a look.

Other than that I've been to the cinema lots, alphabetised my DVD collection which took an hour and a half, threw away all my old video tapes, argued with a bunch of chavs on the bus, re-read and got freaked out by The Handmaids Tale, went to London for a union meeting......oh and i finally got broadband :) In the first 48 hours I managed to *cough* acquire 33 new albums. It's soooo much fun.


*by escape plan I mean I know that I want to run away but have no plan
