Month: January 2002

I can’t remember the last time I went to see a film before tonight. I’m sure I’ve missed some excellent cinema. But tonight I saw something that was worth the wait. Amelie. It was one of the best films I have seen. Ever. Funny, touching, beautiful.
It is also a film that I wish I’d had someone to see it with.
Afterwards, I went for a quick last-orders beer with Paul F, Arron and Al.
It’s been a strange weekend. I have a heavy heart, and yet I’m smiling, even though there is a tear in my eye. I’ve some of the best friends in the world, old and new, and yet I’m missing something. I wish I knew how to fix it. Maybe I do, but just haven’t realised it. Or admitted it.

Incidentally, beer last night with four married women, Paul F, Aris, Arron, Bren, Greg and Heidi, with sightings of numerous other people.

Relaxing lunch with Sarah, followed by a gentle stroll round the city. Sundays were made for this.

There has definitely been a nimeity of alcohol consumption in the last few days. I really need to ease off a bit for the sake of my liver. It also doesn’t help my phone bill either, as I promised to meet everyone in the pub tonight, when, in fact, I’ll be at the cinema. So now I’ve got to call them all. guh.

Just in from the pub with four married women. How cool is that?

I am now using BlogBack Plus for my comments. It kicks ass! It also means, for the first time, that I can edit your comments. Of course, I believe in free speech, blah blah blah, so carry on saying just what the hell you feel like. But, if you make a complete pigs ear of it and click on the “send” button before realising, just drop me an email and I’ll edit it for you and stop you looking silly, thick or both.

Sigh. Post Christmas malaise is setting in. The weather has been grey and misty all day, and I’ve just taken the Christmas decorations down. The flat seems horribly cold and empty without them. I hate this time of year.
But to liven things up, I’ve spent the last 24 hours in the company of Penn to celebrate her birthday, which included dinner with her friends and family, then on to a club (yes! me in a nightclub! that’ll make it snow or something. I was even seen to dance!!) with Penn, Matt, Jules, Claire, Malcolm, Graham, Lester and Sally. A really good night – a lovely crowd of people – thanks for making the stranger so welcome.
Anyway, to beat the post Christmas blues, I’m heading to the Nags shortly to spend time with my lovely friends, then tomorrow I’m going for lunch with Sarah, and in the evening I’m going to go and see a film.

What exactly is the point of this?

Even the BBC gets in on the act of weblogging or whatever you like to call it.

Incidentally, thanks for the suggestions for the gift for the girl who has everything. I’ve got it now, but can’t say what it is in case she reads this before I present it to her this evening. Hope she likes it!
