Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere

I've got vast amounts of stuff to watch at the moment. A backlog almost as bad as the amount of books on my bookshelf waiting to be read...!

I'm just getting towards the end of Series 2 of the West Wing, and I've got all of Series 3 to watch, plus both Shrek movies (yes, I know I'm a freak, but I've not seen them yet!). And many more...! I could spend a good couple of days solidly in front of the tv without surfacing...

And in this weather, that's tempting...

Edinburgh is under snow, although Leith has less of a covering than the south of the city, as we're so close to the sea. But I still looked like a snowman by the time I walked all the way down Leith Walk!

Tonight I'm: watching the West Wing series 2
Tomorrow: it's FMQs, so busy day!

We're after the same rainbow's end, waiting around the bend, my Huckleberry friend...

I'm not entirely sure how I've managed to live 28 years without having seen Breakfast at Tiffany's. I'm still not entirely sure what I think of it! Mind you, think I should finish watching it before I pass judgment!

Tonight I'm: watching Breakfast at Tiffany's and listening to Moon River.
Tomorrow I'll be: getting ready for the weekend! Hooray!

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Short post tonight. I'm just watching Before Sunset. Watched Before Sunrise earlier this evening. They're two movies, set (and made) 9 years apart, starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. I'd not heard of them before a colleague of mine recommended them. They came out on dvd yesterday.

I was only going to watch the first one... but I couldn't resist finding out what happened 9 years later!

Tonight I'm: 28.
Tomorrow I'm: back to work after two days off.

I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself

OK, rock night tonight - had the Zutons, Franz Ferdinand, Scissor Sisters, Outkast, and the White Stripes on so far tonight!

Oh, the excitement - I've got a day off work tomorrow... to get double glazing fitted. Joy.

So if you don't hear from me again, it's because I've turned into an ice block while they take the flat's windows out!

Tonight I'm listening to: loud stuff
Tomorrow I'll be: freezing...

Never settle for the path of least resistance

The title has no relevance to anything whatsoever I'm about to post, it's just a lyric in a song I'm listening to right now that grabbed my attention when I was looking for a title... [for those anoraks out there, the song's "I Hope You Dance" by Ronan Keating - amazing what random stuff iTunes throws up sometimes...!]

I've been horrendously busy at work the last few weeks. Plus I'm getting double glazing in my flat, so I've had to organise that.

Since I last posted, I finished Series One of the West Wing, and I'm now about half way through Series Two. And fortunately, after my near-vampiric nocturnalism over Christmas while I was staying with my parents, I'm back to normal hours. Or as close to normal as you get in my job...

I'm still in shock that people left comments to my last post - I didn't realise people out there were reading my blog! Nice to know there are, though! ;-)

I fully intend to write more frequently again now... just January is always such a horrible month, I think everyone retreats back into their shells and I'm no exception!

Tonight I'm listening to: random iTunes selections from about 15GB on my hard drive...
Tomorrow I'm: tearing my hair out at work again...!
