Shock news in the blogging community as reports stream in of another hawkins joining the ranks.

In other news, The Fountain is a strange and beautiful film.

And I have a little heartburn going on right here.

they are tired

Don't have a huge ol' amount to say.

Just wanted to pay respecks to Heath. I watched A Knight's Tale today in honour. I know that's not his best film and blah blah blah blah but I like it and it's the only one I have. Very much looking forward to The Dark Knight in the summer. I seen the trailer and he looks amazing.

I'm not often affected by 'celebrity' deaths, but for some reason this one got to me. I can't say why.

Hark at me.

Better go before I get any more maudlin.

I'll just clear my diary

It is nice to have a Saturday that would have been busy but has become free through unexpected.. um.. ness.

So we're having a lazy day. Watching The Science of Sleep.

[cut]

It's later on now. Science of Sleep is a good film but it left us feeling a little surreal. Weirdness.

Right now I'm sat around with Misses, Nikbo, DaveFace, Bits and Bobs. We drinkin', we chattin', we chillin'.

Only three more days of work before the holly days. Tuesday is work Christmas 'do'. That should be 'the fun'. Already bin to an unofficial ex-work do last work. That was also 'the fun'.

That's about it.

As an extra piece of information for all o' y'all: don't worry about what you hear here (hear hear?) in the real world. I wouldn't use this forum to carry out fights with people, or.. well.. anything like that. Just so you know.

Also, our car's broken down again. Bloody cars. I think it's the starter motor. We couldn't get it booked into the garage we trust until Monday so we've been without it for nearly a week. Rubbish. That's what that is.

That's about it. As you know, you can't have it all..

of iced tea and poisoned fingerfoods

Hello and good morning one and all.

We've got a lot to get through so sit tite and hold on.

First and foremost I would most definitely like to say that I'm very sorry to have missed such a special date yesterday. I can only guess how terrible it must have been for all of you sat there waiting at your computer screens, fingers poised quivering above the refresh button. A drop of sweat hits the desk as you feverishly press that key over and over whilst muttering to yourself and wondering, wondering, wondering..

Truth be told I was ill and lost track of dates somewhat. In all honesty I'm still not better but I'm sitting up, and they tell me the worst has passed.

Now.

I've been laid up for a while so watching films has been the order of the day(s). I can taste your expectation even across the webbernet so I won't hesitate, deviate or repetition.. myself.. um.. I'll get right into telling you what's going down.

Little Miss Sunshine.
What a great film. This was right up our street. Quirky and all about the characters.

Pay It Forward.
Also a good film. That Osment kid sure had it. Good ending as well.

Crash.
Holy carp there's the hattrick. This was also. A good film.

Jurassic Park - The Lost World & Jurassic Park III
Oh. Well, you know.

I was also gonna have a little chat to you aboot ideas. I think it's weird the way ideas come upon you. I've never particularly been one to work hard on ideas. I either just have them or I don't have them. I don't know if that's everyone's experience. Mostly I think for me this relates to songs that I write. I can't really sit down and bash them out. Usually when I write them they just occur. So I'm not going to be running any songwriting seminars anytime soon.

But so I wonder what ideas might be to come in the world. I read about that one guy with the million dollar webpage just sat there and worked backwards from a million dollars. I don't think I have that approach.

But maybe, just maybe an idea will just hit me and you'll be reading about me in the Times or the FT yo yo. Just maybe.

Anyway. I'm out.

and over.
