The Importance of Being Idle

I Got The Poison

Signing on went as flawlessly as usual, and the cheque from my parents came this morning so I can rest (kinda) easy on the financial front for a while, hopefully giving the benefits agency time to get themselves together. I was even finally bothered to go all the down to Maplin to get a new battery for my phone (home, not cell) so I should be able to stop using the crappy one soon (ie once the battery has charged).
Now I have a time of peace and quiet ahead of me and hopefully time to get a few things done. I'll probably just play games though, cos I've not done any of that since... Saturday! I knew I was feeling withdrawl symptoms...
I finally gave up on the Da Vinci Code. My initial enthusiasm was battered into weary cynicism by the constant stream of "revelations"... maybe it'll work better as a two hour movie than it does as a book, cos I enjoyed National Treasure well enough, and its basically the same thing, but in movie form. Although it did have Nic Cage in it and that's usually a bonus. Anyway, the point is that the Da Vinci code seriously tried my patience so now I'm reading Catcher In The Rye. Make of that what you will.
