Sorry I haven't blogged, I've been ill :-( all better now though, though occasionally my voice goes a bit funny. I haven't done anything very exciting to blog about. However, I have now got working hot water and even better than that I have central heating too! I've finally caught up with, well, the 20th century, so I'm still lagging a little behind, ooh lagging, that's funny, I could do some sort of boiler pun there. Except I can't really think of one, and it'd be bad anyway, so we'll just leave it at that shall we? They were very quick, efficient and friendly plumbers and very cheap too, so yay! I have had to pay with it out of my Isa, which is a bit of a pain, but never mind, if I do do the masters like I think I want to, then I'll just have to try to get some more saved up, or get some sort of bursary, or borrow from my parents, so many options available, and anyway with the job of a librarian changing so much at the moment I'm not sure whether it's actually what I want, they seem to be taking them out of libraries. So I'm evaluating all the options open at the moment and it might be worth just sticking on the library assistant route.
I'm trying to think of something more interesting to blog about. Maybe I should go to the cinema so that I can rant about a film. Helen says we should watch Tomb Raider, the first film certainly provided lots of heckling opportunities so maybe it's worth a watch and the great Christopher Barrie has a bigger part apparently, so that's got to be good. The
pseudo Italian Job must be around soon too, that might be good, it just shouldn't call itself
The Italian Job when clearly the only resemblance that it has to
that film is the
minis, it should be "The American Job" or something, to give you the idea that it's based on it, but not the same plot or anything and mainly not even in Italy. Unless all the info I've heard about it is wrong of course. It does have
Seth Green in though, so that's a definite plus point. Anyway, it might be good, it can be different and good. The New Italian Job would work as a title, it's what a lot of people are referring to it as, why didn't they just call it that? Anyway, there's no way that the film can be better than the mini adventure adverts. If you don't live in the UK and haven't seen the ads, then go to the
Mini website click "Fun and Adventures" then "Mini on film" and watch the 2003 TV and cinema ads. My favourite is the Zombies one. Though The Lost City one is great and so is.. no, they're all fantastic. Except the fish and frying pan ones, which I've never actually seen at the cinema, only on the internet and they're weird, I don't like them so much, but the others, they're a work of genius.
What was the person who got to my site with:
"orlando bloom" "beaten by a girl"
looking for do you think? I'm the only result, I can't help thinking that they must have been disappointed when they got here. I mean, was there a film where that happened? Or were they just hoping. If you ever come back googler who got here like that please
let me know.
Random observation of the day:
I've never used the spell checker provided on blogger before, but I just tried it and found it amusing that it doesn't know the words "blog" or "blogged".
