The Importance of Being Idle

Its Been One Week (Nearly)

You'd think it'd been a particularly hectic week or something, but no it hasn't. Thursday I was just all sick and celiac-ed, Friday I cleaned like the devil and re-arranged some of my furniture in an effort to find some space in my flat. Saturday I went to collect my girl from work (at the Falcon!) and she'd got me a table and my choice of dessert ready. She was so sweet, and I really enjoyed watching her work. It was also really fun to watch the other customers reactions; they could tell something was going on, they just couldn't tell what... and I liked that! Then we came home, I cooked for her and we went to sleep very late after watching a movie. Sunday we had plans, but they all vanished in a haze of fun. Not that I'm saying our plans wouldn't have been fun too, cos I'm sure they would've been, but what we ended up doing was super fun too (and I ate fried seaweed!). Then I reluctantly had to take her home again (she DOES have a job to go to, after all), and when I got back I watched the second half of the Superbowl. It was actually a pretty good game, although there were at least two REALLY bad bits of officiating which swung things unfairly Pittsburghs way. Still, nice to see Bettis and Cowher get their hands on the trophy.
Monday morning I was utterly out of it though. I slept till it was Monday afternoon (yeah, I wasn't pleased with that either), went for a wander to the shops, and then on into town. My new glass'll be about another week apparently. Be glad to be rid of these fuckers, I can tell you that! Then finally I rounded off the day by watching the Dukes of Hazzard movie. Now I know y'all've read some pretty bad things about it, but as is fairly typical for me, I really enjoyed it! Admittedly its not laugh out loud funny, at least I didn't find it to be so, but as someone who fondly remembers the original show it was just a pleasantly nostalgic 100-odd minutes well spent. And I think Seann William Scott as Bo is genius (I love this car! I wanna eat in it, sleep in it, make love to it!). The star of the show is still The General though, and I can see why Bo loves him so...
And so to Tuesday, today. I'm sitting, waiting for the NTL guy to show up and fit me with digital cable. Waiting. I hate sitting and waiting for somebody to come and DO something, I always have this feeling that I can't actually get on with things myself, that I have to be in this bizarre permanent state of readiness. I don't know where on earth this feeling comes from, it just is. I'm gonna try and see if I can sort through some of my old clothes, or maybe try and make some sense of the spare room, but I wouldn't be holding my breath. The spare room is a REAL mess...
