The Importance of Being Idle

Inspection Day!

Didn't have a great nights sleep last night, I made the mistake of watching a documentary about snuff movies before I went to bed. Now normally that sort of thing wouldn't bother me, and to be honest it didn't until it got to one particular point... It was a good documentary though, following the birth of the urban legend of the snuff movie, from the Manson family, to Snuff all the way up to the present day. Obviously to really think about whether such things exist you have to travel outside of movie making circles, so there was a fair bit about real life killers and their fantasys, particularly the ones who likes to record their kills. Anyway, none of that particularly got to me, although the bit about the German freaks who filmed their torture and murder of a Turkish prostitute was almost unbearably sad; it's such an awful, confusing, desperate way for a human being to end. No, the bit that got to me was when they talked about the al-Qa'eda videos where they murdered hostages. Now, I'd made the curious decision to track one of those down a year or more ago, and it's really something that I can promise you, you don't want to see. And damn me if everytime I closed my eyes last night I didn't see that bloody thing. So, understandably little sleep, and what there was was seriously disturbed.
Still, nightmares evaporate with the morning sunshine, and after I'd got a couple of hours snuggled upto the night shirt Ronnie was wearing last time she was here (it smells of her!), I'm up and about, waiting for the landlords agent to come and inspect the flat and pass their opinion. Luckily I've got an application form to fill out while I wait...
