Love Steals Us From Loneliness

My anger is a form of madness
So I'd rather have hope than the sadness

A Film for the Future

Here is a little something I wrote on Dad's iPhone whilst waiting for the pet show at Sea World I. December. So yengry. I just want to say that everything has been so incredible recently that I can barely contain myself!

There are three films I've seen in the last couple of months that will stay with me forever. I should arrange to see them all back to back in the near future. They were all excellent and seemed to speak to three separate parts of my thoughts of the last eight years. They were The Yellow Sea (Quad), Flight (Festival Bay) and Knockaround Guys (Yewdale). 

I Understand It

I was hoping for a Quinder Spring, but it turns out that the only definition I can (almost) find is rape.

Still, it's time. A successful 5 days.

If It Takes You Home

YES! Finally! You know when you have a song in your head and you really have no idea who it's by? It seems to be a never-ending battle for me, but I experienced victory today! This was more of a riff though, and it's been floating around up there for months and months. Realisation came as I was working my way through Idlewild's back catalogue, something I seem to do with increasing regularity. I've not given "Make Another World" enough time, and I regret that. It's fab.

Soooo much to blog on. Gambia, Spain - I'll probably do all this tomorrow when I should be doing my Gambia portfolio. As for today, it's been a great day. Me, Guy, Linda and Pete actually made it to the library at TEN this morning (in the holidays no less!) to make little progress on our presentation. But it felt good all the same. Then Guy drove me and Linda around the Peaks as Linda has never been. We took in Eyam, which has a fascinating history, even though much of it isn't on show, for obvious reasons. We went to see the Boundary Stone however, which was more beautiful than anything. After a quick drink (of Coke for me) we drove on, eventually stopping at The Cat and Fiddle pub, which was a pretty unique experience. I have vowed to stay off drink for a week (more on this tomorrow), but I had to have a pint there. Delicious.

Okay, off to Guy's place to play Portal 2 with some mushroom curry!

In Competition for the Worst Time

One of the worst weeks ever in football. Forest lost to Leicester on Monday. I watched it with Anna. Forest were shite, but so were Leicester. Anyway, with the added presence of Guy, Pete Conoulty and beer, I went on camera to say that if Forest finished lower that either Derby or Leicester I would run down sadlergate naked. I'm really not worried.

The day after that and with a raging head, United got twatted in the Carling Cup by West Ham 4-0. It didn't hurt as much as it would in the past, but still, not the best tonic to Monday.

Finally, England only received 2 votes to stage the 2018 World Cup. Not that I care too much, (I preferred all of the other bids) but it still felt like defeat.

Here's to Euro 2012!

Roseability

Gertrude Stein said "that's enough".
