magictreehouseI've been a bit up-and-down this week. I do feel a little out of control, not in the sense that I'm going to snap at any moment, more that I just don't feel like I'm in control of anything. My job, home stuff, there's always stuff to do and the only stuff I do seem to have control is really boring stuff. Maybe it's because I don't have much to do. I've found a volunteering job that I could do though. It's with the West Yorkshire Playhouse so I'm a little wary because the last time I volunteered with the theatre I was there every night! However, this seems like it might just be one day a weekm and it's in the costume hire centre which sounds great. I'll have to enquire about it. There also might be sme news on the job front too. There's a reference library assistant post going in Halifax. Commuting again but right now I'm desperate. My job is killing me it's so boring and it sounds like a good chance to get into public libraries. We'll see!
Last night we went to see Alan Ayckborn's 'Bedroom Farce' at the West Yorkshire Playhouse. Having been stung by the goddamn awful 'An Inspector Calls' it was nice to have our faith in theatre restored because it was absolutely wonderful. The stage was amazing, really deep and very well set up considering the play is only on for a week. And for a play that has farce in the title it was surprisingly deep and all eight characters were very well developed as well their relationships with each other. I'm still thinking about it today because there was a lot of stuff about hopes and fears among couples which was very interesting. Plus it was hilarious, was amazingly acted and had Denise Black in it. Everyone really was a winner.
Last week we went to see Star Trek which was, again, brilliant. I was really sucked in by the whole thing and I couldn't really fault it to be honest. It was funny (and had a sense of fun unlike Wolverine), had great characters and was a joy to watch really. During the week we also watched 'Night At The Museum' which I didn't have high hopes for as it's a Ben Stiller film. And I was proved right. Mind you it wasn't because of him really. It was because for a film that has animals running around it had no sense of fun. A very weak script plus an appalling 'message' made for a bit of dull film, and it shouldn't have been, it had a dinosaur in it!
Tonight we're having a housewarming party. I was a bit put out by it really because it's not been of my doing at all. It's James' friends from work which is fine, but I don't feel like I've had much control over the whole thing (contributing to the initial comment in this post) but it'll be fine I'm sure. There will be dancing tonight as well as we're going out in Leeds. I haven't been out dancing for ages so it'll be good. Trouble is that when I haven't been out for a long time I get quite self-conscious about the whole thing but wine will sort that out I'm sure. God help them if they play 'Single Ladies'.
PS - The Little Boots album is very very good.
