The Importance of Being Idle

He Is Calling Me Dude!

Yeah, today was pretty shiney (yes, I've been watching too much Firefly, got to get up to date for Serenity dontcha know?). Ronnie sent me a little package to cheer me up this morning, which worked perfectly and made me smile when I opened it.
I signed on and got the chatty one who likes to talk about movies and comic books, and who seems remarkably disinterested in the whole "helping you find a job" thing. Still, sometimes you just want it to as quick and painless as possible, and he's ideal for those times.
Then I went hunting for a birthday card for my bro, cos its his birdy on Friday. I can't afford to get him a pressie (cos I've less than fuck all money, realistically), so I pushed the boat out card-wise and got what I think is a really cool card. Or at least a really cool card for him. I guess Friday will tell if I'm right or wrong.
Then I got home and kinda lost the handle on the day for a bit, and sat about reading the new Empire for a bit, but then I got it back under control, did some laundry, tidied some drawers (a little!) and cleaned the living room while Willow was on DVD. Been ages since I'd seen Willow, and I'd forgotten how cool it (generally) is. And only £2.84 in Tesco bargain hunters! I know I'm a bit of a Val Kilmer fan, but I still think Madmartigan steals the show! Although the two headed dragon thing comes close... No, I think its cool because for a fantasy movie, things are remarkably... grey? The good guys really aren't all that good, and some of the bad guys aren't all that bad. People lie and cheat and pick on each other, they despair but press on regardless, nobody thinks the plan can possibly work, but it's all they've got so they give it their all. I dunno, I just like it! And like I said, at £2.84 who could resist? I'm glad I didn't!
Oh yeah, and the living room looks a lot cleaner too!
