Last week, one of the machines was left on. I swore i’d turned it off. Anyway the same thing happened today. Which is embarrassing. Its a silly mistake. An oversight. I learned about this before lunch. Which annoyed me. I didn’t like hearing it from a subordinate. Anyway, I was grumpy about this, and feeling a bit sorry for myself. Not attractive qualities. ( I see my friend Nessa has read this. Nessa is going through real difficulties I am being silly) Than, I hear the same thing happened to a different department. A half hour later. Some one else had intervened I clearly had not turned off the machine in the other department. Hurrah!!! My spirits rose. I was a bit grumpy today. That said my co workers went to the red zone, without prompting. Perhaps I am too hard on them, The month and the week is almost over. I just cleaned my shoes. I tided up. I filed away some paperwork Tomorrow we shall do better

Its ``the Hangover'', with a neat twist. 4 guys who let loose and find there true selves. Here they go back in time via well a Hot tub, time machine. Its three 40 something's and there nephew. Who lives in John Cusack's basement The young lad plays second life, and writes Stargate Fan fiction. ( Oops)His Second life character is in jail. He twitters and watches the world go by Tough to see John Cusack play a loser. He was a star of the 1980’s. Here his Gf, has just left him. Curiously as the final blow she takes his TV. Is that the big deal it would have been? The whole of the 80’s genre gets a name check. Miami Vice, Michael Jackson. MTV, Regan. AIDS, Super Mario brothers on Arcade. Walkman's. ``Where's the beef'' The 80's is dismissed as the era of Regan and Aids, at one point. There is a cameo by George Mcfly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crispin_Glover There is a bad thing moment, ala Peep show... A little nudity doesn’t hurt. A very pretty...

Robin Hood

Oh its not a bad movie at all! There are shades of Gladiator, and Braveheart. Even of Robin Hood prince of thieves. Oh and Shakespeare Crowe’s accent is hard to place. It’s not Irish though, I hear a couple of Irish accents every day. Crowe doesn’t have one. He says ``Ye’’ which is an anachronism in Hiberno-English. To be honest I don’t really know why Crowe felt the need, to have an accent. He plays an Englishman in Master and Commander. He played Comodius in Gladiator, without being Tony Curtis in Spartacus. ``Singer of Songs’’ Or the ``Cammadaarrr of thee Garrison of Roem! Geez whizz Thanks’’ Cate Blanchett does an English accent playing Marian. So I suppose that Crowe felt he needed to raise his game. Audiences have not noticed Houston’s Hiberno-French accent, as the Cour de Leon, nor Kevin Durand’s Scotch accent. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0243806/ Yes him, from Lost, 3.15 from Yuma, and X Men origins. Robin is an Archer in Richard’s army. He and his little band, are fighti...

From the sublime to the ridiculous They have changed the evening system at work again. We are supposed to go to another department. We shall call them Red. Our duties are to consolidate the work there, to make it ready for tomorrow. This has been the most unpopular part of the job, ever since I have been working in Hades. People have left my shift, because they loathed working in red The complaints are: We end up doing the other departments ``Reds'' work. The other storage groups do not have to go. Some people never went to the Red zone. We were granted a temporary pass from the Red zone. The Friday before I went to Virginia beach as it happened I had people doing Projects. Looking for lost items This was quite popular. Now I have to play prison warden. I have to chase people up to the Red Zone

Last night, I did something I may have strictly speaking never done before I went to a gig. I went to see the Skandinavian heartbreakers set. In particular one band, and the lead singer of that band. Nicki Trigger I ran into Nicki before the gig. She is friendly even to the strangest of people This is a better picture of the very lovely and very talented Nikki Trigger. As I mentioned before is a singer for an 80's inspired group from Denmark, (Britney Lace) I went to see her play in town. I know young Nikki's older sister. http://www.myspace.com/rnr.trigger You can hear more about Nicki's music here. Or you can follow her at twitter I am glad I went to see them. Let Nicki's music speak for her. Its better than anything I can say

I went to the Opticians today. I don’t need to get new glasses. So that is good news They have changed things again at work. We were excused from having to go and help out another department in the evenings. Now we must return. I will have to spend my evenings chasing down people, to make sure they go upstairs and help out the other department. I will be fighting all the time. I left a machine on at work last night, that was embarrassing Heroes has been cancelled by NBC. No more lovely Claire! My best to my friend Miss Misery Good luck with your test, Kate Good luck Lexie.

A bloody farce I was reminded of statistic that 3/4 of terrorist attacks in Northern Ireland failed, before they could be carried out. Three British born Muslims, of Pakistani stock. In an Northern town somewhere in England. Along with an older English convert dream of Jihad. Omar the leader of the gang. Married to a Nurse, and working the night shift as a security guard. Dreams of going to Pakistan to join the struggle One day Omar gets his e-mail from Pakistan, from his uncle. ( The e-mail address is Hilary Clinton 555. I wondered if this was a joke) The convert refers to the British security services as the feds. The MP, at a public meeting, cowers behind his desk, when a guy fakes a suicide bombing One of the would be bombers, rails against the Teacher who failed him at Media studies. 3 of the bombers sing along to Toploader, on the drive down to London. There is a scene when Omar tries to obtain a phone to call his friend urgently, and can’t because the sales staff insi...

A decent sequel. Harry Stark having build his super powered armour deals with the fall out of his exposure as Ironman and new challenges, including his own mortality I love the Harry Stark scenes. John Slattery who plays Roger Sterling in Mad men, was playing Harry Stark. The father of the lead character. It was basically a pastiche on his Mad Men role. Even down to his quaffing whiskey. It was great Rourke’s Russian doted over his pet bird, which was nicely done. Russians adore parrots. When Rourke is attacking the cars at the Grand Prix, There is moment he reveals the chest pack. At that moment he would have drawn sniper fire. It looked like a suicide bomber The CRS took how long to respond? I kept thinking Tony aim, for his head. Scarlett Jo, is smoking hot. Her part in her early scenes is very well written. When Tony gets into the car I didn’t recognise Sam Rockwell. Kudos to him, on being willing to play a jerk. Its a step down from President of of the galaxy It w...

So, on Saturday I went to the Zoo. I sponsor a tiger for my Valya there. The Tigers were asleep, and I didn't bring my digital camera, but rather just used my mobile. Which does not have a zoom. I started the day off a bit grumpy. I went on the Metro, to the cool part of town. This is where I should have hung out as a teen and twenty something. I am glad I didn't. Because I went to America instead. Though they were selling Brooklyn Lager. I thought of going back for some Anyway I walked up several hills. In a huff, and I got this great view
