Anyway I'm blogging mainly as a procrastination method, my essay is driving me a little crazy, just trying to order things and the like, so I don't really have a lot to say. This is largely due to the fact I really haven't been up to much in the last few days, except working on said essay and procrastinating hugely.
I did see Mike last night though which was fantastic. I was so glad to see him, I'd only seen him once so far in the holidays which is ridiculous really given he's my best friend. I really needed to see him too, I needed one on one time with someone to talk to y'know? I mean don't get me wrong, I know many people online I talk to regularly and could tell anything to, but face to face can't really be beaten. So yeah we just bummed around for the evening really. He bought popcorn (the stuff you actually do in the microwave) because its become a bit of a tradition and that was the last bag we had left from well whenever we bought in bulk (the summer maybe?) and apple loops. Now these are the most fantastic sweets in the WHOLE WORLD. Tesco's own, alright don't start on me for supporting Tesco but seriously, GORGEOUS. Just two of them is 13% of your daily allowance of sugar and we ate the whole bag between us, so god knows how much that was. This slightly contradicts the whole healthy eating thing I was moaning on about yesterday to a few people, but y'know, I wasn't really planning on starting til term started anyway, just due to practicalities. I'm waffling.
Anyway we watched Hot Fuzz, as neither of us had seen it, and
my family appear to own it. The original plan had been Schindler's List as I feel like an appalling history student having never seen it, but to be honest i wasn't in the mood at all for that. Now Shaun of the Dead is one of my favourite films of ALL TIME, and I'd heard such good reviews for Hot Fuzz I was expecting the same. My god was I disappointed! Alright its funny in parts, and the whole thing being set in a Gloucestershire town made me giggle, but nothing made me laugh so I couldn't stop, or even laugh out loud particularly. I just didn't find it that funny, which is such a shame as so many of the actors Simon Pegg, Bill Murray, Bill Nighy, are some of my all time favourites. So yeah unimpressed with that one!Final thing before I bugger off. Goldfrapp. Yesterday
afternoon I was really frustrated with life in general, my essay, my eating habits everything, then I can't remember how but I thought of Goldfrapp. Within minutes I'd downloaded Seventh Tree (their current album) from iTunes and even before the end of song two I felt so much better. I fell in love with the album before I'd even heard it through the first time. Its so relaxing, and was perfect for a sunny afternoon, it'll sound great in the summer (despite the advert I saw on youtube describing it as the sound of spring). Seriously I would recommend it to everyone, or just youtube them or myspace them or something! I loved their older stuff too, Strict Machine and Ooh La La, are two of my faves but I have to admit I prefer Seventh Tree to all the older stuff. So yeah, come on guys I don't bang on about music much so when I do you should take notice!And on a side note, she is fucking hot, and like 41, I'd love to look like her at that age, seriously, step aside Madonna, I'll do Alison Goldfrapp thanks.

Haha. I've had this Hot Fuzz convo with pretty much everyone I watched it with. Hard to rate it as highly when you compare it to the greatness of SotD. I felt it was trying a bit too hard really.
I also liked that you had Tesco crap yesterday. Though I didn't really find that much :( Had enough lager to make up for it I think.
I haven't been mean to you in this comment! ... Wench.
