Shambling into the light

Well, I survived the zombie all nighter. I pretty much gave myself caffeine poisoning and I saw 4 pretty good films and one irredeemably awful one. We emerged from the cinema at about 8:45 into incredibly bright sunlight, grabbed breakfast from the nearby sandwich shop and set off into an Oxford eerily empty enough to make us twitchy after what we'd been watching. Alex and I have decided that we've got enough of our second wind that we're going to try and stay awake until a reasonable hour before going to bed this evening in the hope that we can reset our body clocks back to normal. It's such a beautiful morning that I've come out into the garden with my laptop (I <3 my wireless network) to write about it.*

I think this also marks the first time that I actually have stayed up all night - I don't think I have even managed that at OUSFG punt party writing sessions before - so I choose to feel proud of my achievement. I'll let you know the total hours awake tomorrow.

I should mention, by the way, that I also went to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind this week but have found it impossible to write a review of. Suffice it to say that it's an utterly fantastic film, Jim Carrey is an actual actor (who knew!) and everyone should try to see it.

*It occurs to me that in none of the films did anyone try to use the internet as an information source - TV, radio, but not the net. Maybe in the next one...
