  Movies, and the quiet librarians strike again
I've managed to have a relatively social week. Monday I went to two separate movies - one an Iranian film at the Film Society, and the other 28 Days later with Drake. A competent horror, quite interesting visually, even if the ending seemed a bit lame. Tuesday was another non-date with Rachel (date? non-date? I don't know. I don't normally 'date' people). We went to Pirates of the Caribbean, which is the best mainstream film I've seen in a while. Johnny Depp looked like he was having a lot of fun.

Wednesday I'd planned a trip to Porirua to watch the musical Laurie's in, but it had completely sold out for the rest of the season. So no go. Almost a relief, I got to sit around the house and do absolutely nothing. Doing nothing is good. And under-rated. I continued reading Middlesex and played Championship Manager. Matt and John have mocked my tendency to play as Man Utd or Barcelona rather than Halifax Town or Rushden. Fair enough. Waiting eagerly for November 21st when CM03/04 comes out, with lots of sexy new features (and updated squads, of course). I can see myself saving a lot of money/wasting a lot of time that way.

Thursday the MLIS class went to Syn for drinks and food. Unfortunately, once again most of them made it an early night, and by about 8.30 only Bruce, Mandy and myself were left. So we hung around for a while, headed to a karaoke bar, left that and went to the Bristol to listen to jazz. Where I got to see my father out on the town and dancing to impress the ladeez. (Hey, I shouldn't mock - he was doing better than I was).

Friday night is for sleeping, but Saturday is for the Lions. (A home final! Outstanding).
