Work was again extremely quiet. However the day passed really quickly for some reason, possibly because I spent the day winding everyone else up, therefore having a great time. I also spent a large portion of the day shopping for some decent speakers for my TV having gotten fed up of the naff speakers they seem to put in TV's nowadays. I went for Logitech Z4's which are incredible; 2.1; 40W RMS; etc, etc. The result is incredible; I've only watched a few music videos on my PS3 so far, but the sound is a major step up. I plan on watching Transformers: The Movie tomorrow to hear all the 80's voices, effects and hair metal soundtrack in their full glory.
When waiting for the bus home I discovered my debit card to be missing. As I'd bought my speakers ten minutes beforehand, I phoned work in a panic, apparently prompting a flurry of people crawling around the shop looking for a card before I found it in my shirt pocket.
Another sport relief special was on tonight; this time far less irritating and featuring genuine celebrities. It was the John O'Groats to Lands End cycle. It was awesome seeing the hard work that they went to for it, and doubly awesome to see the crowd that included myself. Highlight of the show would be Darren Falconer playing the bagpipes to David Walliams on BBC1.
Skins finale was also tonight; after some appaling episodes, it did redeem itself a bit by the end. I think that they've always taken risks in the plotlines, and it just so happens that this time they haven't quite come out as intended. Unfortunate, but I'll look forward to season 5, especially as the writers have pledged to make it more light-hearted than this one.
Last thing to happen tonight was recieving an email from Jason Steadman which made me literally squeal with joy. The best part is that virtually no one knows who he is. He was a main character in a film called Troll 2; a movie that is reverred as the "Best Worst Movie". To explain; there is a subculture of filmgoers who "enjoy" terrible movies. I don't mean Epic Movie terrible, or Just Married terrible, I mean 2012 terrible, Plan 9 from Outer space terrible, generally movies that are SO terrible in every respect that they actually become inadvertently funny, and much more entertaining than most comedies. Troll 2 is the finest example I've seen; you can see my review of it on IMDB BY CLICKING HERE. Troll 2 has, since it's making in 1990, become a major cult classic, and in response to it's following, some of the (then child) stars have joined together to make a documentary charting the success of the movie they were previously ashamed of. I got an email because I will be trying to spread the word about this new documentary around the Inverness area; perhaps try to get screenings, publicity, etc. As a huge "fan" of Troll 2, I am so excited to be a tiny part of it. Enjoy the following clip, which sums up my reaction to being accepted to help out.
