All this rain is interfering with my cigarette smoking!

(Please, no comments about giving up or looking after my health - they will all be treated with contempt)

Oh well, the regualar Thursday ritual of watching House while taping Heroes and them watching the tape is about to commence.

I live such a wild and hectic life no?

Bet you wish you were me eh?

Ahem.

Well on that note I think I will pour a glass of single malt and go make a nest on the sofa.

It's all Rock and roll round here ya know.........

I don’t know why, but I have a severe case of the itches!

I feel like ants are crawling all over me. Very not nice.

Of course there are no ants on my person in reality but that does not stop me itching like mad.

Maybe it’s the weather.

Maybe I have fleas.

Maybe I picked the wrong day to quit heroine. Not that I actually have ever done it, but I have read Trainspotting.

In other news, I need to have another quick scratch.

The mange! That’s what it is.

Meh.

Now some of you females on my friends list have been going all misty eyed over that there “Sex and the City” film and saying how great it is. My response is generally to say that I would rather stick pins in my own eyes than go see such a film.

But, I do actually watch and enjoy “romantic” films. Just not the sort you girlies go for – and before you panic, for once I am not making vague references to porn!

For example the last Dracula film – the one with Gary Oldman in it – is a very romantic film and I enjoyed watching it. OK, the whole point of the film was the “tragic romance” theme rather than the horror but it was a good film. Hmm, liking a film about a tragic doomed romance, what are the chances eh?

Ahem.

Anyway, another film that I consider to be a romance normally causes general eyebrow arching when I mention it, but it is a romantic story of a doomed relationship.

The Terminator.

Yep, that one. With Arnie and guns and explosions and stuff.

How much more romantic can you get? A man falls in love with a woman in a photograph, takes a one-way trip back in time to save her, she falls in love with him, they have one night of passion and then an almost unstoppable android kills him.

See, I can do romantic film watching. They just have to have loads of guns and monsters and sex in them as well.
