Today was, as hoped, somewhat better than yesterday. At work again, which was rather uneventful due to a complete lack of customers. I finished at 6, which is usually a pain as the next bus isn't until 8:15, but tonight I met Jamie in town. This lead to the evening being made up of magic tricks and talking absolute nonsense; i.e. a good evening. I got home, and a decision had been made to watch the Eurovision selection program instead of Lost, leaving me to watch it online tomorrow. I accepted this, as I enjoy watching the Eurovision song contest every year. The only real downside there is to watching it for me is the chilling revelation that another year has passed blazingly quickly since I saw the previous show. I wasn't expecting to be blown away by any contestants, but was particularly shocked by the sheer lack of talent displayed by every single act on the show. When it came to the second round, I was now only half-listening, and thought one guy was singing a bad song from the archives, when my Mother alerted me to the fact that it was in fact this year's Eurovision entry song he was singing. The song is nothing other than putrid sausage factory slurry, with no elements that serve more purpose than making me incredibly bored. I did not stick around to watch the rest of the show, so I do not know which of the three remaining acts won, but whichever one was voted for, the following review is appropriate;
They are shit.
On another point, I saw the trailer for the new Twlilght movie; Eclipse. I like the first movie, having seen it quite a few times, and have seen the second one once, again enjoying it. However, I am starting to get bored of the plot dragging out so far. If I was Edward or Jacob, I would have long gotten bored of Bella's antics, and told her to stop being so bloody fickle. My opinion is that she should not go with Edward or Jacob, as they are both horrific monsters. Instead, Kristen Stewart should come to Drumnadrochit where I shall greet her with none of the following; a family who wants to eat her; a group of friends who want to eat her; myself being a vampire; myself being a werewolf. I feel I have digressed somewhat from my point. What I am trying to say is that with such static characters, they are really scraping the barrel for a plot to carry out another movie, let alone the fact that we are not even half way through the book saga. Unless something really starts to happen, I expect to be bored by the end of this one.
It was a shame about Corey Haim dying; I have liked Lost Boys since first seeing it about age 10, so it's always nasty when someone from a loved film dies. Not to suggest that a "normal" person's death isn't nasty, but you know what I mean...
Alice in Wonderland with Danny and Lou tomorrow; if there is any hiccups even close to last week's, there shall be breaking news bulletins tomorrow night; "massacre in highland cinema". On that happy thought, I shall be off.
