My route in the dark

- 10pm : Badadadadadadada
- 11pm : *shoots Kier in the ass*
- 12pm : Badadadadadaddaaaa night everyone!
- 12:01am : Turn off big bright TV and feel my retinas start to cool down
- 12:02am : Turn off lights
- 12:03am : Realise that the brightness of my TV and playing Call of Duty for two hours has actually burnt holes into my head and I’m blind
- 12:04am : Oh crap I’ve got to get up to the second floor of my house and all I can see on the back of my eyelids is Kier’s body lying dead in various positions all over the middle-east
- 12:05am : OK forward through lounge, down two steps into dining room, move forward 5 steps then put hands out so I don’t walk into door frame.
- 12:05am : Turn right and start up stairs, count 11 steps and BEWARE THE ARGHGHGHG FRICKING CAT WHY DOES IT SIT AT THE TOP OF THESE STAIRS!
- 12:06am : Stop stroking the damned cat that tried to kill me, turn left then left again with throbbing eyeballs and start up second set of stairs 1, 2, 3, 4. Turn left then left again then up final set of stairs 1, 2, 3, 4.
- 12:06am : Walk quietlyyy past the OW SHIT stub toe on the corner of the bed ouchhh.
- 12:07am : Get into bed, attempt to sleep except all I can see in my mind is 2 hours of bloody conflict buzzing through my brain.
I really must give up. I’ve practically lost the use of my sprinting thumb!
Flaming Homeless Guy
Apr 15, 2008 Uncategorized
It’s true, it would have been pretty scary to be in the tunnels of the New York underground and see a flaming homeless guy running towards you. This was one of the lines from the excellent film Cloverfield. Such a great story that held a very fine balance between telling you too much about the story and not giving you enough detail. So many monster films never show you the damned monster! It was one of the few films where I actually watched the director’s commentary (not that it turned out to be very good). Bring on Cloverfield 2!
Recently I’ve also watched Notes on a Scandal which was also excellent, I don’t really have a lot to say about either of these films apart from ‘watch them’ do I?

My life is tough
Apr 5, 2008 Uncategorized
It’s raining today, I burnt my tongue yesterday, I didn’t have any money on my badge so couldn’t buy a latte, I’m not rich, I want a new shiny car, I have to work and not just boss people around, I want a pony.
Yet whilst all of these are true, my nephew Jon is in Afghanistan being shot at, eating crap food and doing more than his duty for his country. *And getting to pose with a gun and look very cool*. Thanks Jon.
