Night off

I've decided that sometimes one must eschew sociability in favour of, well, time I suppose. So instead of going with Alex to see Archie off and chat to Lorna and Duncan I'll be going home after we've been to see a house* and settling down to a night in. This evening I need/want to

* Clean the kitchen
( ... )

* Bath
* Get to bed by 11:00pm

Some of this stuff is pretty easy but some of it is going to take a while so I doubt that I'll get all the way through that list. Still, I'm determined to try really hard for the last two items.

I need to re-think how I plan my time I think. I don't tend to check LifeBalance when I'm at home so I don't get the benefit of that. Perhaps I should, although I think that I would have to re-jig the thing first. Still I need to do something to make sure that I don't just end up with one free evening a week in which I'm too knackered to do anything except watch crap TV, hang on IRC and do easy support requests. I can do this, I just have to be organised. I have a free weekend this weekend and I'm keeping it that way, damn it. So nobody organise anything exciting, OK?

I really should do that list with tags, but I can't be bothered, even though it makes my footnote ambiguous. Oh yeah, and while I'm adding random extra sentences, I note in news that all paid users are now in the FotoBilder beta - go forth, upload things, make suggestions in fotobilder_user. It'll be fun.

* Yes, Alex and I have found ourselves, by great good fortune, in a position to look at houses together. Which is very exciting and very scary. Wish me luck...

Thoughts on The Village

I ended up being disappointed by The Village, the latest M. Night Shaymalan offering. Yes, it's got a twist, they all have to ( etc )

I think I'm going to try and write up more of our Tuesday films. Next week, Chronicles of Riddick or Motorcycle diaries probably.
