"And how can we win,When fools can be kings,
Don't waste your time,
Or time will waste you"
Well here you find me, in that most agreeable of states, a bit (a lot) drunk, around midnight, with days off looming. This is the nearest I get to happy, I'm not trying to portray myself as some tortured romantic, I'm just a sad and very lonely middle aged man, who has nothing better to do with his time. The upshot of the wine is that it loosens lips, but unfortunately breeds a certain amount of incoherence too sadly.
Anyone remember that great (if incredibly twee and sentimental) old Christopher Reeve movie 'Somewhere in time'? (fabulous John Barry score by the way...) he falls in love with an old photo (of Jane Seymour no less), and literally wills himself back in time. Well I spent the best part of night with a similar sentiment, wishing I could go back and well have another go, to bring up a super cliche, hindsight is always 20-20, blah, blah, blah.
I accidentally left the heating on all day, consequently it's midnight and 29.4 degrees in my usually chilly dining room. Why this should interest anyone I cannot possibly imagine, but well , as the title states it's my blog, and if anyone ever stops by here well they stay (mostly) silent about it.
Oh how I hate to admit this but I'm toying with the idea of a dating website. I'm not desperate for romance, but friendship would be welcome, and mostly, I cannot abide men, all they want to talk about is sport and how manly they are. Frankly who gives a toss? That's why I enjoy working with Women so much, of the three male colleagues I have only one is heterosexual, and he's my boss. Men always seem to be out to prove something , at least to other Men, it's all false bravado, and essentially hollow statements, and I don't care for that. I'm essentially a loner, but male company bores me. Did I mention I was thinking of joining a dating website (vain attempt to return to a point).
Tonights viewing - Battlestar Galactica 'The Plan' straight to video movie. To be honest, I was disappointed, it had it's moments, but to be honest it was just a clip show, albeit of clips you had never seen before. Dean Stockwell was superb, some of the effects were a little iffy, there was one shot of Lucy Lawless, but there was no sense of coherence, sadly, and the sum of the parts did not equal more than the whole, or however that saying goes.
There was some lovely shots of Vancouver however (here he goes again ...)
On the upside 'True Blood' is still wonderful ...

There's an old 1947 film "The Guilty"...for some reason when I hear someone reminiscing I think of this movie. I haven't seen it in forever, and well, I dunno. The concept of reminiscing has always had the same appeal of baker's chocolate to me.
