  • Herbie (Fully Loaded)

    So, I finally got around to watching Herbie Fully Loaded; I know, I’m incredibly sad. I’ve loved Herbie films ever since watching Herbie, The Love Bug countless times at Primary School (where they had a copy of it on 16mm film and it was shown at least once a year).

    I’ve always had this kind of… mechanical sympathy. Just watch me wandering round scrap yards; there’s a kind of bizzare reverance in my head, a respect for these vehicles, don’t ask me why. Maybe they have a soul…

    Or indeed, watch me stroke the ‘hump’ on my beloved Rebecca.

    Anyway, back to the film. [spoilers, but none you’d not guess]

  • That was a mistake

    Okay, I decided to walk in, despite the ‘orrible drizzle, which it’s returned to now. But as I neared the 1/3rd of the way mark, it started peeing down like a good’un; by the time I got to duchess park I was sodden, and by the time I got halfway down the hill in Duchess park, my feet we slooshing about in cold, dirty water.

    I turned around and came back.

    Now, I need a shower and I need to wash my clothes… and I missed my meeting and my lecture. Bollocks :-/

  • Fuck I feel great… ow! my back!

    Yesterday, second day of university, I decided to walk.

    I went swimming in the morning, got home, ran around the house, cursed an awful lot because I couldn’t find my headphones, and finally ended up leaving 10 minutes later than I intended to, making the 3.3 mile walk to uni somewhat quicker than desired.

    Not helped by my stop in Sainsbury’s to see if they had headphones (they didn’t) – which meant that I listened to my selected podcast via a process of holding the camera/videocamera/mp3 recorder/player with speaker very close to my ear. This meant I got some very odd looks. Also, I’d forgotten how hopeless it is, in that at random points it would stop and you can’t fast forward tracks.
