Busy, busy
September 19th, 2003 02:02 pmWell, Alex is certainly getting me out of the house! Tonight will be my first night in this week, so I can sit around and geek in peace :) So far this week, I have...
Monday: KTB and Rachel Dadd at the Port Mahon. Not a trip out with Alex but with
coalescent. Both ladies played very enjoyable sets and KTB seems to be well on the way to producing a second album, playing quite a few songs not on the first one. She's up for young folk musician of the year again - I wonder how young you have to be.
Tuesday: Pub as usual. Where I read an extremely pretty comic called "Animal Farm" (not the George Orwell one) which I might even buy my own copy of.
Wednesday: Pirates of the Caribean. We had planned to see Belleville Rendevous but it was sold out when we arrived at the last minute so a quick trawl of my Treo for other available films turned up Pirates which I still hadn't seen and Alex didn't mind seeing again. It was a thoroughly enjoyable film (if one where it's best not to engage your brain too much). The acting was pretty high standard (Norrington doing a double take with his back turned being particularly notable) although we wondered afterwards whether Orlando Bloom's range extends beyond straight-laced hero or not. The final fight scene was too long, but I often think that about fight scenes. Overall, thumbs up. I wonder about Pirates 2 though...
Thursday: Belleville Rendezvous. After our disappointment on Wednesday evening we'd picked up tickets to Thursday nights performance which turned out to have been a wise move because the queue when we got there was pretty busy. It was a highly surreal film. Very weird indeed. Almost no dialogue and 2 of the most bizarre chase scenes I think I have ever seen.
Who knows what's in store next week...

Just looking
September 19th, 2003 05:14 pmI have been meaning to mention in here for ages that one of the benefits of joining the gym for those of us who swing both ways is that you get to watch ladies undressing (or men, if you're a man), showering and dressing. It's like a special treat to reward you for actually getting off your butt and going to the gym :)
And on a side note, who knew there were so many ways of putting on a bra! Some of them look really uncomfortable too.
Hg, I haven't forgotten about your question, I'm just mulling it over. After all, if I'm not allowed to be wise-ass it's really hard!
