The Importance of Being Idle

Steps Back In Amazement!

Well I don't have anything even remotely close to the hangover I deserve this morning, so that's nice. Also, I actually slept, which is even nicer. I did have a very odd dream though, which had a version of Northampton even more tribal and terrifying than it really is, and peculiar little car made out of tin, and lots of very very scary spiders. I never have fun dreams do I?
Okay, the reason for the amazement is that the DWP have finally decided to pay me benefit! OMG! Even more amazing the money went into my account this morning! Now admittedly six weeks worth of Job Seekers isn't a lot of money, and I am in no way in the clear financially, I'm also a lot further from total and utter meltdown. Which is nice.
Eurovision tonight! I need snacks and drinks for this, so I'm gonna have to wander my way somewhere and buy stuff I guess. But it's raining and I don't really want to. Although I suppose I could just go to the little local store (for local people) and just pick up whatever they have, rather than doing the whole Tesco thing, cos I just know there will be about eighty bazillion people in there and none of them ever know what they want, where the thing they don't know they want might be, or why they're there in the first place. Yes, local is the way to go. I'm starting to sound very League of Gentlemen now...
Speaking of movies, as we weren't, trailers I feel I should comment on: first and most obviously The League Of Gentlemens Apocalypse is so very... English. I'm not sure anybody else in the entire world is gonna get it, but it looks very funny, and dark and peculiar. Just like the TV show then. The Fantastic Four trailer really does look pretty bloody fantastic. I'm a big fan of the FF comic books, at least when they are done right. Much as I hate to see yet another comic-book movie, this looks like it could be fun. On the other hand... Stealth. Yes, fresh from his Oscar winning performance in Ray, Jamie Foxx stars in this cretinous action flick about a crack group of stealth fighter pilots, who have to hunt down and destroy a robotic plane when it gets struck by lightning and becomes sentient. And decides that man is the real enemy. Oh yeah, and its directed by Rob Cohen, who directed The Fast & The Furious and xXx. Words in all honesty, fail me.
Which makes a change.
