The Importance of Being Idle

Gone In Sixty Seconds...ish

Ask where today went, go on, ask me!
Not a clue.
Mainly I've hung out with Jules today, which was pretty fun. We didn't really do anything very much, just sat about drinking (coffee! - she's been sick and hasn't had a 'proper' drink all week) and talking crap. We 'watched' Blade Trinity, and I say 'watched' advisedly cos we never EVER pay any attention to whats on the screen, apart from occasionally exclaiming at on screen events (such as 'what the hell happened to that dog?') and bitching that the movie doesn't make any sense (actually I paid pretty good attention when Jessica Biel was on screen, and Jules paid attention when Ryan Reynolds was half naked and chained to things). Basically we just talk for hours on end, about all kinds of everything. I discovered how she made one of her sisters' little toe fall off (no really! She pushed her out the way and the sister stumbled, breaking her little toe and catching it on a door which cut the skin and the whole thing just came off! Jules was grounded for quite a long time, unsurprisingly), and I also discovered something so geeky and nerdy about her I was threatened with swift and merciless retribution should I ever tell anybody else about it (in fact just saying that something of that nature exists might be enough to bring such vengeance down upon me, but she doesn't have net-access, or even know this blog exists, so I think I'm pretty safe). So I'm not gonna tell you what it is. Just trust me, for a brief period I wasn't the geekiest person in the room, and that almost never happens. Then I spoiled it by trying to demonstrate why DK Jungle Beat rocks (she saw the bongos) and received exactly the sort of withering looks you'd imagine...
That's about it really.
Incidentally, if you have any interest at all in Blade Trinity, or even movie star tantrums, then I'd advise reading this to see the kinda thing that apparently went on behind the scenes. It's an interesting read, and it certainly lowered my (not exactly sky-high) opinion of Wesley Snipes. It also explains why you get the impression that Blade doesn't really want to be there, cos apparently neither did Wes...
