advanced press for Woody's new film suggests it's could be the worst film he's ever made. Advice seems to be to see it dubbed in a foreign language, seriously.

Polonius, Claudius, Horatio, Rosenkrantz & Guildenstern too plus who knows who else?

Depending how you read the play of course

Man delights not me: no, nor woman neither, though by your smiling
you seem to say so.

I've had a pain, very localised around my belly button, for a couple of days now. The area is quite tender, yet every other part of my torso is fine.

Also, i am yet to locate my sunglasses.

I realised yesterday that i am not going to be able to afford a holiday abroad this year.

Finding a new job is a bitch.

Can't get motivated to go to the gym.

Driving test v1.0 is now under 5 weeks away.

My nan is 90 on Sunday, very much alive but not so much kicking these days.

thus concludes my random thoughts for now

his videos are getting millions of hits

hot young girl working at the bank looked at me and smiled today.

i wouldn't normally read too much into it but she always looks at me when im in there.

I guess that's what paranoia does to you.

this guy's not famous but he's in a band

I've spent far too much of my time lokoing at youtube. I watched quite a few of the most popular [viewed] videos (ever) and found this:

then i got into loads of drumming videos and came across this:

but by far and away this is the funniest thing i've seen in ages:

the Significant Other has gone out for the evening. Usually i would have thought this was a good [rare] experience. I've got loads of stuff i can be doing while i've got time to myself.

But, she's out bowling with her ex boyfriend. Not the-one-before-me, but one who's 11 years older than her and, i'm fairly sure, one who she slept with whilst seeing one of her other exes. I wonder if he told his current girlfriend that he's gone out with his ex? She went apeshit last time they tried to go out so i wonder why she's letting him off the hook now.

Then there's the other ex the SO was going to go out with yesterday, on wednesday, the only day of the week that we have off work together. She cancelled it, then rescheduled it for another wednesday next month.

And there's ex #3 who's coming down here later in the year, although he's married now... mind you she's slept with married men before.

Nope, i'm just going to distract myself with something for the next few hours

altho those of us that are too cool for school use dailymotion

passed it this morning

and who says you need to practise/revise? pshaw! OK, so i spent last night doing some frantic testing with the S.O. until things got to the book-throwing stage when a night was called by all.

Saw the aussie pink floyd show the other week. trés excellent. Although i recon one or two of the group are starting to get a little cocky (i dislike the most recent version of the Comfortably Numb guitar solo which doesn't sound IMO anything like what gilmour/waters intended).

i watched He Got Game on dvd yesterday morning. Not that it's saying much, but for Spike Lee it was much better than i expected. Denzel Washington puts in a performance of some grit - which is more than can be said for American gangster.

everything else is tickety boo really, all things considered. I've only got parking to conquer then i can book my practical driving test and at some point i will get the S.O. to pay me back all the money she owes me (the total went up by another £200 this month due to some insurance shenanigans).

I've given up on her diet. We went to the beach yesterday where she got upset at all the hot women around who i was apparently looking at. Probably didn't help that after losing 10lbs in 3 weeks she put 7 back on. She's always going on about weight and food, and i've finally snapped. She's got plenty of friends she can talk to about it, i've tried to be supportive but now enough's enough. I'd rather talk about other things beside food and her little brother (i notice she always tells me about something he's done or said whenever i see her, which is daily, no matter how trivial). The 3 pictures of her and him in her room also seem a little Mrs Bates-esque. The kid's 7, almost 8, selfish greedy little bastard who's constantly eating everything in sight, the rudest person i know. But i can't say any of this cos it'll just cause an argument. Can't wait for him to hit 13, then she'll see what a little twat he is.

Not sure if Turkey is still the holiday destination of choice - i think we're now going to wait and get the best last minute deal we can. I dont wanna go to France though.

And er, yeah, suicidal birds. Has anyone else noticed that the birds - all of them - at about 6am have a deathwish. They just fly right out in front of the car at the very last second. I saw one get hit by a rover t'other day, which i thought was funny (it looked a bit like this)
