Area 136

This evening I will mostly be doing sofa sitting and watching one or more of he films I have purchased.

I intend - after posting this - to make a comfy nest for myself on the sofa and place close to hand all the goodies I need.

I have the pile of DVDs

I have an amount of unhealthy savory crunchy stuff.

I have a bottle of Morgans spiced rum. For consumption when watching the pirate films.

And for dinkies during the vampire films (if I watch one of them) I have.......erm.......rum.

well whatever.

It's going to be a long and fun night.

Me on a sofa with films drinks and nibbles in an empty house.

I can't wait!

So I shan't!

Avast me hearties, and all that old stuff.

You know how it works.........

(see the post "Ladies, Would you..")

Just walked up the stairs behind her and couldn't help notice that, apart from the bright pink bra still glowing, she is wearing Fishnets!

Someone is on a promise after work tonight!

Just had a chat with Ships, and he informed me that the other day one of the girls who he works with was overheard to say to another member of the team

“Have you seen that guy with all the earrings? He looks so scary!”

The team member on the receiving end of this intelligence said unto her

“He could be on of Ships friends you know”

To which Ships commented

“He is, he is living in our house”

In response the first young lady commented:

“He still looks scary though”

I have instructed ships to inform her that I am in fact a cute fluffy bunny of a person.

I was bored a bit. Hey, it happens.

So I went for a wander through Wikipedia and put in the search criteria

“Pirate Movies”

Because Pirates of the Caribbean films are all very well, but what about those great old films I used to watch on wet afternoons as a kid?

Low and behold Wiki gave me a chronological list of Pirate movies from the dawn of cinema to the present day.

Thank you God!

So I grabbed a note pad and made a list.

This lunchtime I took said list and my wallet for a walk to HMV’s DVD floor on Londons bustling Oxford Street, which at the moment looks like a damn building site with half of it being excavated and messed about with.

Anywhosname,

I walked up and down the racks with my list in hand – I had to, because although they have sections like “martial arts/extreme Asia” “Horror” “Sci-Fi” “Adult” and “Westerns” they have no section for “Pirates”. Someone is missing a trick there no?

My search was not entirely successful, two of the films I really wanted were out of stock “Treasure Island” and “The Crimson Pirate” Bugger!

But I did get:

“Captain Blood” Starring Errol Flynn

“The Black Swan” Starring Tyrone Power (oh well)

“Captain Kidd” Starring Charles Laughton.

I may have to get a bottle of rum on the way back to the house!

Or a bottle of Blood,

Because I also got “Night watch” and “Day watch”! Yay for filminess.

Also, because I think I went into a kind of blokey shopping frenzy (if such a thing exists) I picked up the follow up to the Frank Miller graphic novel “Batman: The Dark Knight Returns” which is called

“Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again”

Which has got to be the WORST title for a Batman comic EVER!

Go to work in a bright hot pink bra, under a white blouse that although not see through as such is not hiding your Fuchsia fun bag holder, due to the fact that the garments strident hue is glowing through the material covering it?

Well would ya?

Today someone here has decided it is a good look.

Well, it is rather interesting.

Ahem.
