This Weekend I Will Be Watching

It's Oscar weekend in the States, but since I have seen most of the nominated films, and I'm fifty fifty as to whether I will get around to seeing Capote - this particular moment's fifty percent is that I won't be watching it - I will catch Lord Of War. I think it's supposed to be a black comedy, but I don't really have any preconceptions about it at all, which is usually a good thing.

Next week it might be Match Point. I'm not a Woody Allen fan, and the trailers have left me a bit cold, but the reviews have been good. Or A History Of Violence. The Weather Man and V For Vendetta are on the horizon for later in the month. Mmm, fascist governments and the terrorists who fight against them, my mouth is watering at the plot already :)

And, two paragraphs about movies to start with, no posts for a couple of days - you just know I'm struggling with inspiration again, don't you?

And does it make me a dodgy person if I admit to liking that latest Nelly song, Grillz? I wouldn't say fan exactly, but I'll probably download it at some point - if you haven't seen the video clip, it's basically about diamond mouth guards and scantily clad women bouncing around - yes, one of THOSE type of vids LOL.

Although I think it's kind of evened out by me also liking Bright Eyes' First Day Of Your Life. One of those I love you very much and I would die without you songs - the video to that song had people, mostly couples, listening to the song in old skool headphones and mouthing I love you to each other LOL. In other words, fairly sappy.

I had one of those days at work yesterday - shifted desks from Wednesday, I had Thursday off, so yesterday was the first day in the new, hmm, I was trying to work in a change of chairs on the Star Trek set into the thought process, but couldn't do it without being this obvious LOL, anyways, I was on the phone with the IT Helpdesk for about half an hour to start things off, and then for the rest of the day got nutter customers on the phone, who basically just wanted a half hour chat when I could have got the relevant info and started on any orders after five seconds. An exaggeration, but not by much.

One of those days where you feel like you are trying to work through treacle, instead of air between the keyboard, phone, whatever and your fingers. I hate those types of days.

Oh, I went to the doctor's on Thursday - just to do a general check up and also get advice regards the dilantin stuff. His advice was keep taking the pills, here's a bit of paperwork for some blood tests in a couple of weeks. He said that I may have to be on the pills for five to ten years to get enough of it in my bloodstream to make sure I don't have seizures ever again.

And here I was thinking it would only be a year - no alcohol for five years, fuck that for a joke. I'm not born again in any way shape or form, so I would like the occasional choice of a drink or two sometime maybe two years down the track LOL. And yes, I do know that probably makes me sound like an alky, hmm.

Oh, and apparently I'm not classified as an epileptic, the seizures I have been having are just 'one of those things', and there may be no cause that can medically be tracked down to explain them. So it could very well be stress, hmm - I have a vision of the docs scratching their heads, saying just keep taking these meds, bleah, so much for a vision, that's blimmin reality :)

Not sure what I think of this new doctor yet. He's an older guy, first impressions are he thinks everything he says is right, but of course I could be wrong. Just remember the impression I got of my psychiatrist when I was going through my massive depression in high school, and how I would show him - why I got that thought in my mind back then, I do not know. 1993 Pauly was a completely different fuck up than I am today.

Although of course I still have problems LOL.

Well, obviously the writers' block only lasts as long as it takes me to actually START writing, once I put one sentence down, they all start flowing out. Just thinking of a sentence to start with that is slowing this blog experience down.

Later peeps
Pauly
