…and it’s been quite a varied 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Following a gradual decrease in “spaced out”-ness throughout the day yesterday I managed to make it out of the house to go to the delights of Bas Vegas’ * Empire Cinema to see all three Indiana Jones films back to back (for Gary-from-work’s birthday – happy birthday for yesterday Gary!).<\/p>\n

It was great to see them on the big screen and to laugh along at the many amusing moments that I’d forgotten about since the last time I watched them. I recommend having another watch of your Indie DVDs \/ crap VHS recordings from ITV in the early 90s with the ad breaks crudely cut out (or is that just in our house?).<\/p>\n

Anyway, after the entertainment of last night today’s been largely dull – probably not helped by being at work, and certainly not helped by the dire performance of the bunch of overpaid divas plodding around a pitch making sure they didn’t break a nail in case they miss their next Premiership match and hence lose their appearance fee…<\/p>\n

And… relax.<\/p>\n

Anyway, following that debarcle I went for a curry with some mates from ‘ome, which was very tasty indeed – only problem is that I ate far too much as usual and so can hardly move (I’m going to be so<\/i> slender in time for leaving)… but that didn’t stop me having a nice ice cream dessert.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Well, I think it’s easy to see, when the ice cream dessert comes in the following container:<\/p>\n

\"Beautifully<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, you’re exactly right, that is<\/i> a Beautifully Crafted Mug (I kid you not, that’s how this piece of cheap, plastic, bulk manufactured mess is billed on the dessert menu).<\/p>\n

I’m still not sure what’s worse: the fact that I ordered this or the fact that I smuggled it out of the restaurant just to get a photo of it to show you.<\/p>\n

So there we go. In 24 hours I’ve experienced being spaced out, amused, bored, angry and utterly bloated. Actually that’s a pretty standard day when I look at it like that :-)<\/p>\n

Anyway, that’s more than enough rambling… I’m off to bed.<\/p>\n

Night,<\/p>\n

* Festival Leisure Park in Basildon – a collection of restaurants, a cinema, a bowling alley and classy establishments such as Jumpin’ Jacks, Ikon-sorry, Lava- and Diva-sorry, Ignite. Known locally as Bas Vegas due to the tacky neon lights flashing all over the Lava\/Ignite buildings. And the fact that it’s a centre of entertainment in the middle of barren wasteland.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
