The Importance of Being Idle

Reborn Not So Much

Yesterday was the day we closed the stall. We'd been talking, possibly even arguing, about it for a while now, but when we got up yesterday morning Shaz decided enough was enough. We had a closing down sale and and then closed down. We still didn't take a huge amount of money, even though we were discounting quite heavily, which pretty much just goes to show what a bunch of penniless no hopers most of our target audience was. We've still got a lot of stuff yet, but we plan to start auctioning that off on e-Bay bit by bit once the dust has settled and we can see where we are. Despite that it was horrifyingly cold, there's still a feeling of sadness, a feeling that an era has passed. Which it clearly has, but it was an era of standing about outside on a Saturday when we could've been doing something else. Sure we made friends, we had fun, but I really doubt we made any money, over all. They'll miss us now we're gone!
I watched Shoot 'Em Up last night, and I still don't know what I think of it. I can see on an intellectual level that it's a parody, a send up, a Looney Toons world of cartoon violence. Or at least I can see that was what they were aiming for. I just don't know if I personally feel like they hit their target, hell I don't even know if I enjoyed the movie!
But then maybe yesterday wasn't the best day to be watching such things looking for enjoyment. Today I feel positively drained. For all that I have essentially done nothing I can barely keep my eyes open. In fact I'm just gonna go have a short snooze!
