Just sat on the sofa for an hour and three qaurters with my brain in neutral and watched an ejoyable silly monster and big guns film.

It got slagged off by loads of people on its release but I actually found it a rather enjoyable if a bit hard to swallow sci-fi monster pick.

Yep. I am admitting to enjoying "Alien Vs Predator"

I just liked watching two different types of alien kick the crap out of each other and rip humans to bits in the parts where they couldn't get hold of one another. I willfully ignored the plot holes and just sat and enjoyed it.

So there.

Goodnight all.

I am so bereft of drive and energy today it is not funny. Seriously unfunny. We are talking unfunny so high on the scale that only Clowns lurk above the level of unfunnyness this has reached.

So I have next to me a cup of coffee.

It is so dense and dark that photons are unable to escape its pull. Light is sucked hissing into its dark swirling innards. We are talking coffee with an event horizon.

But I don't think that is going to do it on its own, not with the file of boring crap I have to work on.

I think it may need just a drop of dark matter.

I'll check the fridge.

As I am bored and trying to stay awake.

I once swallowed the lighted end of a cigarette. It got knocked off when I was putting it out on my tongue.

thank you.

I used to go out with a girl called Phillipa.

But because of my accent, all the time we were together I called her "Flippa"

Don't think she ever noticed.

Thank you.

When I was young, I used to eat raw sausages.

Thank you.

Mobile phones.

They are called "mobile" phones FOR A FUCKING REASON!

Take it with you when you leave the office, or if you are going into a meeting TURN IT OFF!

And no, they are not on our team so I am not picking it up and taking any messages. But I am so tempted to pick it up and see if it survive the fall out of the window and four floors down to Old Street.

In other news I am tired and hungry. This could be why I'm snappy.

Oh and my jobs boring.

and

ah forget it.

Watching Heroes last night, I was struck by how lame a super power “flight” turns out to be. Being able to just take off and fly were ever you want with out the aid of a plane is often mentioned and wished for in memes on this forum, but think about it as a “super power” – its not that good.

Other people on the show can bend time and space, pass through solid objects, have super strength, can read minds, emit radiation… and one bloke can fly like a jet plane.

Great for cheap holidays or to escape bad guys but what then?

OK, you could pick someone up and fly him or her to safety but there would come a point where you would meet someone who was too heavy for you to move.

Or for example you fly at high speed to the coast where a man is trapped in 200 feet of water in a disabled submarine and do what exactly.

“Thank god you’re here Fly about all over the shop man. Can you save my friend trapped under 200 feet of water in a disabled submarine?”

“Erm. Did you know I can fly? I’m reeeeely good at it”

“But my friend”

“Erm, I’ll just go for a little fly and, erm, get some help. Some lightweight help that I can carry back easily. How much air has he got again?”

“Two minutes”

“Bugger!”

So the ability to fly, just on its own, is a bit pants as a super power. You need the super strength and some form of laser vision to go with it I would imagine.

Mind you, whenever I am on Easy jet with a screaming kid next to me, I still think it’s a desirable ability.
