Topless Blogging (now on Sky Sports 7/ESPN 11)

greetings mah peeps. i've never blogged horizontal on the balcony before. i think i might sleep out here tonight, it feels better on my back than the stupid futon bed. (which i normally have no problem with but this morning i was up at 5am pacing the hall of the tenth floor trying to limber up enough to go back asleep if that makes any sense) Ma has given me some sage back related advice though so I'll give it a whirl. The only thing I may not be able to do is apply a hot water bottle.

I watched Shattered Glass this morning. Nyeh, was a bit dull, i just kept going 'catch him out already! duh' I mean maybe if they'd set it up so that the viewer didn't know it was all fabricated it might have been more interesting but it seemed like a pointless enough film once we all knew (and you know from the back of the dvd case) that he's caught out lying and this is the story of his downfall.

Saw The Day After Tomorrow. It wasn't great either but as i heart jake, i thoroughly enjoyed it anyway. Except for the scenes without him in them. I have so much to catch up on in the cinema. I have not seen Batman Begins yet, and I wanna see it in the Imax while its still there. I can't bring myself to see War of the Worlds, as Tom Cruise is such a car crash these days I can only look at him through my fingers with my hands over my eyes. One of the great things about the new job is the big dvd library that all staff are free to borrow from. I've been there a week, and i've taken 5 already. `i'm catching up on everything i've been meaning to see and haven't so thats only marvellous, and even cheaper than the brilliant Queen Video (like Laser , irish folks, only with about 4 times the collection)

So. Did yis see Live 8? We watched it sporadically at home, and then later in Tims. Tim has the best Pride photo ever and i think i've convinced him to send it to me so i can post it. He has new ibook, so mark needed to help him out/nerd over it for a while yesterday. I'm robbing his itunes - he got all this mental stuff from a friend including the Supergran theme tune. How awesome is that, I can't wait to get that on my ipod. Oh yeah live8. After Neil Young was done, some spoon from The Tragically HIp* starts singing the national anthem, and everyone joins in, includhing me. Then I thought, well if the UK crowd had started into God Save the Queenlet by robbie williams or someone after that stupid Hey Jude ending they had, id have been yeling at the telly: 'its not about you. spaaaaaas! its about the 3rd world. Shut up with your stupid song. bleeding brits.' But i sang Oh Canada along with Simple Plan and the like. Someone take me out and shoot me, look what I've become - a citizenship whore in exchange for a bit of sunny weather...

Now I must go and post this, as I wrote it during an ichat with fly, who inspired the title of the post, and is now waiting for it to be posted for her amusement. I'm kidding...I'm sure she's watching America's Next Top Model for her amusement. Loves that show she does.

*spoon. i love that word.
The Tragically Hip are an inexplicable massive Canadian band that everyone over 30 here loves, and some younger. Like Aslan, except not knackers. well, maybe nothing like Aslan really.


PS if there's any really bad typos sorry. its too bright and i'm relying on my fabulous touch typing as i can't really see the screen too well.
