Trying very hard not to write a whiney entry.

Easter wasn't bad; I ate a lot and watched TV mostly. They never show Jesus Christ Superstar anymore, I'm sure when I was little it was on every Easter. I've got it on tape so I sat and watched it on Sunday morning, and ate a hot cross bun.

The clocks going forward totally confused me, as it does every single year. I was going to my aunt's house to have something to eat and play some games or watch a film so I set my video to tape the first parts of Earthsea and Fingersmith. Then when I got home I realised that I hadn't changed the video clock so I'd taped two hours of god knows what. But then I missed the first part of Tipping the Velvet, and when I watched the second part of Earthsea I wasn't very impressed by it – so I didn't feel like I'd missed out on much. Those Hallmark productions always look lovely but are strangely soulless.

We watched Resident Evil 2 at Sarah's. It was ridiculous but good fun. And Mila Jovich is at the top of my "I'm Straight But I Still Would" list. Along with Angelina Jolie (who wouldn't?) and whoever the dark haired woman in Resident Evil 2 is *g*



I got a cold call from someone trying to sell me something yesterday. I was so pissed off. It's a Bank Holiday! Leave me the hell alone!

I usually try to be polite to people who work in call centres – they're just doing their job and it's probably a crappy badly paid job, but I didn't have the energy to be pleasant so I just put the phone down, I was quite tempted to swear at them. "Stick your conservatory/double glazing/lower electricity prices/fabulous prize up your arse!!! Neeerrrrrrr!!"

I suppose it's better than the new devilry that is those phone call that are just a recorded message. I hate them. Whoever came up with that idea is going to come back as a slug.



I've bought the postcards for the Great Postcard Exchange, I just need to get around to sending them off.




Bored.

Entertain me, F list

Even MORE confusing than the time change is the fact that not everyone changes at once... ours doesn't switch till next weekend! O_o

Hmmmm, makes me wonder why we do it.

Well I can see both sides of the issue now. With DST you get oodles of light during the day which is quite nice and people aren't bathed in darkness for a better part of half a year. On the other hand, it's really quite cool to see how daylight changes, naturally. You REALLY notice a difference in the amount of light you get. In mid-winter the Sun was setting here at about 3:30pm! Was sooooo strange! But now it's setting at 7pm, so there's a whopping huge difference. The bad thing is that since I don't go home until 9:30pm at night, I have NEVER walked home from work with the sun setting so that's kind of depressing.

Won't this kind of thing cause a rip in the space-time continuum or something?

I've seen enough SciFi to know that you don't want to mess around with the space-time continuum!!

I've found your address - on an envelope in a drawer of my wardrobe. I need an address book. Desparetly.

I can't spell.

I always spell desperately wrong. I always have to spell check it

(although, ironically, this time I'd spelt it right!!)
