Ye frigging gods, I have never felt this buzzy and hyper in my life - and I KNOW I've not been taking any drugs. A £2.30 Coke and £2.80 salt popcorn at the New Picture House, yes... I almost feel like I'm gonna do a Peter Petrelli and level the town...
Today's plan was to go and see The Golden Compass - which I did - and then do a bit of Christmas shopping - which I also did. Well, if you can call spending £28 on Moleskine notebooks for yourself Christmas shopping, and then some.
I also "have a dream" - the rationalisation of my video collection, replacing runs of recorded shows with DVD box-sets, and burning any snippets or "historical documents" onto DVD. I have HUNDREDS of tapes, and they take up a great chunk of space - and they don't need to. I've taped the whole series of Thunderbirds at least twice, and I have it on DVD too. The same could probably be said for Season 1 of Babylon 5, Barbarella, The Dark Crystal - and that's madness.
I really wish we still had a branch of Fopp in town, like we had this time last year. What a goldmine that was - birthday and Christmas presents FOR EVER. Then their finances went screwy earlier in the year, and now the shop is a stationery place. *sighs*
Next on the list is the necessary hardware, and know-how to make this whole crazy scheme come together. A working video recorder is a good starting point...
Anyway... I'll piece together a movie review at some point in the next 24 hours, just to have something to do. If you wanna push for a quick quote, I'd have to say "a better adaptation of an existing book than Order Of The Phoenix, but could still be better - certainly worth seeing".
Iorek! Iorek! Iorek!
...save the cheerleader, save the world.
