It's over. I am divorced. It happened at 10:48 this morning. the judge came into the room, spoken the pronouncement, and that was IT. over. And how did i celebrate? I went to the pub, and had a pint. I didn't know what else to do. It was the sweetest, and bitterest pint I have ever taste.
6 long years, now long gone. history. i am glad it is in the past. I hope wherever she is, she finds happiness. I wish no ill will. A better man might do, but I am not that man. I am just glad it is behind me. gone. over. history.

the first rule of cinema club is that do not talk about cinema club.
the second rule of cinema club is that you do not TALK about cinema club.
the third rule of cinema club is that if you do have to go and see the incendary, caustic and searingly brilliant fight club on a tuesday night.... try not to sit next to the smelliest man in the world. Whose socks stunk out the entire film. And spent the entire time parping like a trooper. And he was so engrossed in it, that five minutes from the end he startedplaying games on his mobile phone.
On the other hand, its been really dull the past couple of weeks. i've been unwell, off work with an infection and with antibiotics. And also, I've joined a band. We’re not very good, yet.
There will be blood? Very good. Daniel Day lewis doesn’t so much sleepwalk as merely reprise his performance from gangs of new York, evil mustache and violent outbreaks included. A fascinating interplay between the temptations of man and his continuity of survival, and the lies and deceit we weave around ourselves to survive. Very good. But Slow, ponderous, and unhurried. And lets just say. No matter how iconic that phrase may be….its good, but not that good.
I drink your milkshake! Etc.

It's been a while since I've written. Almost THREE weeks. So Here is the quick precis of this time...
A week off work. Saw My daughter and my son. She's very very chatty - never shuts up. Always asking questions. Intensely curious. She looks at the side of my neck, squints and asks "what's that?". "Whats what?" I say. "What's that?" she says again, point. At my mole. My son? He smiles a lot. And laughs. And giggles and plays. He's just utterly munchable. And I miss them both.
I did some shopping. Watched a few movies. Listened to a lot of music.Waited for buses. Had to report a bus driver for goign through a red light and being abusive towards customers. Hate having to do that. Did A lot of washing up. Also did a lot of tidying up. had to repair a wardrobe, which had had some internal shelving collapse due to dowling beign too long - and that took ages with a number of different solutions employed (mostly ineffectively), including a roll of gaffer tape, some carpet tape and eventually....a staplegun. Rock And Roll.
Had a couple of day trips away. Bought a digital camera. You won't see the pictures here, though. no pictures of me on here. And a bass guitar. Mid Life crisis, I guess. Or perhaps to make up for the one the ex-wife sold for beer money, the bass that I bought with saved up pocket money and also as a christmas present from my mum when i was 15. And what else? oh, a coat.
Then i saw my daughter and my son again. My daughter is very very chatty and bossy, and called peoples noses "honk nongs".
Possibly a gig on Sunday - and i can't believe how embarrassingly naff it is - a side project of ELO II with half of ELO playing old ELO hits in a reformed, nostalgia, trip. I bet i'd be the youngest person there by 25 years. That the Orchestra for you. But im secretly a fan of ELO.
Ah, life, it's not what I thought it was.

A week. I told you I'd be far less prolific than before, though. So the week in a quick precis
i)'Shoot 'Em up. A intensely over the top enjoyable action film ; pure 80's cheeseball violence and fun.And dinner by the lady (possibly the best lasagne in the world)
ii)'Jumper' - absolutle dreck.
iv)'Equilbrium'. - underrated, though unoriginal, scifi with soem great action scenes. Love the art deco design, though.
v)'9/11' - a brilliant, stunning documentary following a fire crew that goes into the two towers.
vi)'Creep' - good production design. bad movie. Good idea - trapped on the london underground being stalked by an something that kills people in a very unpleasant way, but very underwhelming....
vii)'Ultraviolet' - don't. See Iv) in daylo neon, with the brains sucked out. And some atrociously over done sub-TV CGI. Thoguht i'd give it a secodn chance, and both times I couldn't sit through the whole movie.
viii)'Ghost Rider' - much much better on DVD than at the moofies. Much more enjoyable, cornball 80's comic book style with some ridiculous CGI. the extended cut (ok 13 minutes longer) is a much much better movie than the hackjob that preceded it.
ix)listening to cds, shopping, and so forth. Not done much else.
Was contemplating going to see the Cult. Probably Won't. £25 is a lot of money to drop on a whim, especially the day before payday. Pottered around. Burned CDs. Argued by text message. i appear to have watched a lot of moofies, but I haven't really. Done much. At. All....
