Film Fest

It's amazing what boredom can cause an ordinarily sane human being to do. For example, today I'm so bored it's horrible. What makes it worse is that even though I'm bored (and you'd think therefore eager to do something) everything I can think of to do I just can't be bothered to do it. Absolutely nothing seems appealing and I don't feel I can summon the effort even if it was remotely interesting. It's just one of those sorts of days.

So after poor old Phil has tried numerous suggestions of what we could do (including visiting some nearby caves, a railway museum, a castle and even a safari park!) I decide that it might just be easier to go to the cinema and watch a film, play some bowls and maybe we could get some lunch out (ok, the lunch bit was Phils idea).

The first problem we encounter is whilst we are going down the duel carriageway towards the cinema. I look down at my feet and realise that I've got no socks on (they don't really go well with sandal type shoes). So thats the bowling out. There is no way I'm putting my bare feet into shoes that have probably seem more verrucas, athletes foot and general skankyness than I've had hot diners. So our afternoon is now narrowed down to a film and some food.

We go and watch "Fantastic Four" which, IMHO wasn't so fantastic, but maybe more akin to "Mediocre Quartet". But it's probably not fair me even commenting on what quality of film was like since I'm in such a "everything is crap" sort of mood. We then go get some lunch at Frankie and Bennys which was nice and then drive home.

I spend the remainder of the afternoon on the sofa eating chocolate and generally feeling sorry for myself (ladies, you'll probably understand why) and end up sticking a DVD in to overcome the serious amount of bollocks which constitutes Sunday viewing on TV. So I then scare myself shitless with Event Horizon (good film!) and then add even more "WTF?" confusion to my day by taking a gander at Somersault - which is a load of arty farty filming nonsense.

Thank goodness Top Gear was on at 8, at least that drew me back to sanity for an hour... until they announced it was the last episode in the current series... Lord only knows what I'll do next Sunday.
