I think I've found my dream job. (well, apart from Keira Knightley's personal masseur, muahahaaaa).
Did my third shift at Indo last night - amazingly funky little pub/cafe thing in Whitechapel - and I'm still amazed that I enjoy it so much. It really doesn't feel like working, I mean, the people are almost without exception fantastic, and even when it's frantic.. well, I love...

interesting times, eh?
since the last exciting installment:
- went for that date with bus-stop-girl, hereon known as khuong, that being her name.it was utterly ace in every way, and so not the random and embarassing 'uhh'-fest that it could so easily have been, given that we met at a bus stop for 5 minutes while drunk. she's really sweet, we got on dead well...

perversia:
Glad to hear that your date went well! Also nice to know you quit a job you don't like to do something that'll make you happy. I'd come and hear you busk but, alas, I'm back in Manchester for the summer so I'll have to wait!
Take care of yourself.

i got reign of fire from my mate last night!
been meaning to watch that since it first hit the cinema - i mean, dragons *and* helicopters in one film!? yes please. and now i finally get to, yay!
what's the best film you've watched recently? and what made it so good?

munch:
yeah, but its not "dragons and helicopters", is it...its "a dragon" and "a helicopter"...
i was so disappointed with it (and Christian Bales accent!)
best recent film? gotta be "Eternal Sunshine..." - and it was great because of Charlie Kaufmanns awesome script, and Kate Winslets changing hair colour...
although "Lost In Translation" takes some beating...

I am very sorry for not turning up last night, I am feeling rather ashamed of myself for letting my friend down. I hope you had a good night and that you will forgive me.
Best Film? Shaun of the Dead because it made me laugh so hard.
Take care

Awww thats a shame not many people came to your birthday, but maybe it was short notice? Or people were busy? Or didn't have any money? There are lots of explainations!!
