Anyone want to make me some chicken soup?
Feb. 10th, 2010 12:04 pmMy head isn't really in the shape to think about what I've done as I'm coming down with the evil cold thing that's going round. It hasn't quite come out though so it's all in my head. I'm glad I'm off tomorrow :( Get the violins out people!
Things have been fairly slow though. We started Friday night off with a pizza from Yum Yums. A good start I feel. And we watched Broken Flowers which was not half as terrible as I feared it might be. Not a lot happened but when it got going and Bill Murrey got out and met people the interactions were quite compelling. The evening then met a crap end when the neighbours decided to have a party. We've put a complaint in about them as we're no longer living in student digs. The music stopped at around 1am. I think someone had gone round there. What a way to intigrate yourself with the neighbours eh? Thankfully that kind of thing never happens where we live.
What else did we do? Watched The Muppet Show a lot (the Swedish Chef is a current fave), played Kerplunk, and watched Never Say Never Again. We're a bit out of order as our original copy had warped so we've had to buy it again and go back to it. It's not really up to much though. It's just very very long and really dragged. It wasn't bad but even the action scenes didn't feel especially exciting.
Speaking of dragging, this week is going far too slowly. I've been keeping myself occupied by buying more Xbox Live Arcade games. I've bought Alien Breed, Shadow Complex (excellent, reminds me of the old 2D platform shooters like Flashback), OD Beat Drop (the thought of playing a tetris clone to the sound of Dragonette is far too appealing) and Chime. Should keep me busy!
I've finished reading Me Cheeta, the autobiography which wasn't as interesting or funny as I thought it might be. I guess it might be more interesting if you know a lot about Hollywood in the 40s. I may have made a bit of a mistake by starting two non-fiction books at the same time. I'm reading Tim Moore's 'Do Not Pass Go', and Andrew Marr's 'History Of Modern Britain'. I'm thinking that one might take a while!
