Pretty much just got in from going to see Thank You For Smoking... I heard about it a while back, and it piqued my interest then, but tonight I wasn't looking forward to seeing it that much... I was wrong to feel that way though, it was an impressive film, very funny in places, would definitely recommend seeing it, if you can find the time...

Coming back home, the train was delayed, and it was hilarious to see people getting stressed out because they were losing about twelve minutes of their lives... nobody likes to be held up, but that doesn't mean you need to start swearing at the station staff (as one possibly sozzled individual did). What made it funnier was the completely unhelpful tannoy announcements, which came out muffled, making it impossible to make any kind of sense out of them. You could see people getting more and more frustrated, and it just struck me as the funniest thing... I guess the movie put me in a good mood...

...then walking home, a fox ran out across the road right in front of me, and that too was a wonderful moment.

File under 'pipe-dreams': I want to live in Berlin. I've decided that today. Tomorrow, maybe the sun will be out and I'll be reunited with something called 'a temporary appreciation of where it is I currently live based on the gloriousness of the weather'. But tonight/this morning, I really feel like I need to be living somewhere else, like the city of Manchester has nothing new it can possibly offer me. After the movie, someone suggested going somewhere else, but there's literally nowhere of interest to me (one of the "side-effects" of straight-edge), except for an underground cafe that opens midnight-to-five, or something like that, and serves no alcohol, just coffee, tea, soft drinks and hot chocolate with marshmallows (greatest drink ever?), and I didn't even fancy that tonight (feeling strangely tired/weary - maybe that feeling is the reason behind this somewhat rambling epilogue to this blog entry?).
