So, Friday, I wanted to go see a film, but I couldn't go and see any of the arty farty oh so serious mega wank (literally) fillums I was supposed to be seeing, because, for some reason, all the awarded films on the film festival circuit are only screening during the day for unemployed people (which says everything I've always suspected about arthouse wankers, as in get a haircut and get a real job, etc, etc, etc).

So, it was popcorn, popcorn, popcorn, and best on offer was a film featuring a former darling of difficult arty films, making some bold choices, shall we say, for his latest forays into the American entertainment industry. I swear, it was this or The Vow or some film with robots or vampires in it, lorlumme.

wet wet wet

Oh golly, this week. Where to start. Well, the good news is that we're not under water, nor likely to be, as we're on top of a hill, which I curse every time I trudge back with heavy groceries in the rain, but yeah, it all runs downhill.

And I'm sorry I'm posting these one after t'other. Type them up on notepad I can, post 'em, not so much as I've not been near my PC since Sunday, tsk.

Anyways, off to Canberra we went, in one of the wettest weeks Canberra has ever had, but we booked this ages ago, so it's just one of those things. At least, that's what I kept trying to tell people.
