Friday night me and Phil went to the Wood Green short film festival and watched a bunch of animation shorts. Best of all was David Shrigley’s more of which can be found on his web page; david shrigley. I really liked about half of what was shown but was very indifferent to the rest. Check out; Fallen Art, Flesh, Rabbit; Photocopier; & Maestro for other great animation shorts. The festival info is all here; wood green film festival

Saturday was spent trying to figure out a new database set up at work and then a bit of month end tidy up on the payroll. Still, this does mean 9 hours overtime which will come in handy a hell of a lot for next month. Yes, yet again I am absolutely brassic – I had just over a tenner to live off fro the last two weeks of the month and so it’s a diet of toast every day till Friday –joy! At least I have a jar of marmite and a jar of jam to accompany my lunches. Hopefully Phil will have enough to buy a bit of food for supper – although I do have lots and lots of tuna fish left in the cupboard and so can always live off of that for a few days.

Saturday night we all went round to H & C’s for Phil’s birthday drinks. C made a hell of a lot of white russians which Phil drank pints of out of an old man handled glass, excellent style. I didn’t touch the white russians and settled on copious amounts of wine, champagne and brandy and a solitary Guinness which was drunk when me and Dave snuck off to the pub to get a quick game of bar billiards in. This also let Dave avoid playing Buzz on the PS2 – he isn’t a big fan. First time I played it – good fun! – Although Phil managed to sneak a win on the last question. Good work to H as well for finishing with 50pts. Ha ha.

Sunday morning my head felt like an inverted cactus. Phil was fine. This may point towards white russians as a good drink to have to avoid hangovers. I hate milk however and so I’ll have to find another one. Phil went off to the film festival to go to a talk & Q&A with a cinematographer whose name escapes me but who did a bunch of great films whose names also escape me. Sorry. Phil, H and Me then went to see Hostel. This is the worst film I have seen for many, many years. It’s billed as being the scariest horror film for a decade. Scary? No, not really. Gruesome? Yes. Inventively gruesome? No. utter, utter shit? Yes.

Went back home and watched the brilliant Planet Earth – this week was caves. Phil finds them fucking scary, I really want to go caving I went a few times with school/scouts in Wales and loved it. Although I do not want to go caving in Borneo. The caves there were full of bats, batshit, cockroaches, bugs and BBC film crews moaning about everything.
