Woah

Went to sleep at 5pm last night and I only just woke up. Still, am feeling better so I guess I needed it.

An observation from yesterday that I forgot to post: Kevin Costner should never be allowed to recite Shakespeare

Yes, I watched The Postman. Greg recommended it! It wasn't shockingly bad, but it wasn't great either. I really need to stop listening to his film recs. LOL

Talk to the Hand was great! It was essentially just a big, long rant about how rude people are these days. I found myself nodding to most of it, proving that internally I am a grumpy old woman. LOL

Next, as I mentioned yesterday, is Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. I hope it's as good as I remember it being

Dream

I had a weird dream last night that I was Elizabeth Bennet and I kept finding excuses to go over to Pemberley so I could see Mr Darcy. Also, people kept giving me babies to hold :-S

A few things

Checked my bank balance at lunchtime and was all confused as I had less money than I thought I did. I distinctly remember only withdrawing £10 this week. I was all set to go in and report my account being hacked when I remembered that I bought train tickets on Tuesday. D'oh!

Bumped into work hottie on the way back from the cash machine

Hottie: I finally saw Dead Man's Chest!
Me: YAY! Did you like it!
Hottie: It was amazing! *spends ten minutes gushing*
Hils: *wibbles*
Hottie: I need to see it again!
Hils: Have you seen Superman?
Hottie: Yeah
Hils: Did you like it?
Hottie: Not as much as Pirates
Hils: Oh, ok.
Hottie: I officially worship Johnny Depp
Hils: I officially want to marry him
Hottie: Me too! Bye!

I'm so shallow. This guy is a lot younger than me and acts his age. I wouldn't be interested at all if he wasn't so damn attractive :(

Oh, and liars_dance, Line of Beauty is out on DVD. Have added it to my rental list

I love it when a plan comes together

Greg and Amanda are going away next week and Greg has asked me to look after his kitty while they're away. I agreed of course and then I had a thought. I asked Greg if I could make use of his VCR while they were away and of course he said yes. So next weekend I can watch Neverwhere whilst I look after Greg's kitty. Everyone wins. WHEE!

Hehe

Well, it's good to see that all those agonising 3 hour meetings at work have come in useful for something. I've been able to volunteer my minute taking skills (such as they are) for the first writerconuk mini-meetup. I like to be able to contribute something :)

Hee!

jacqui_hw has gone insane!

Oh dear...

Hils: Gerard Butler was in Dracula 2000. Meh. It looks crap. I'm not going to rent it

*scrolls down*

OOH! Nathan Fillion is in it! *adds*
