The movie wasn't too bad, I'd give it around a three star rating. There were some really funny bits, but the ending was obvious and the acting was just O.K. I'd give it a rent. @Jim: I think relaxation has become a bit of a lost art. My relaxation usually involves things that require some element of skill or concentration, so it's less like relaxing and more like doing something different. Then again I do find writing to be relaxing, even though it does require a lot of concentration and thought. I don't want to give up on relaxation quite yet though! Too many people just shrug and accept that stress is a part of life, when it really shouldn't be.

I have never been able to manage it. The things I do to relax most people would regard as work anyway. And when I am trying to relax I'm working at it to make sure I relax right which kind of defeats the whole point of the exercise. The problem with that kind of lifestyle is that one tends to burn out every few years (about seven to eight in my case) and each time it gets harder to get back on the horse.

Or else. How would you draw blood from a crystal of titanium dioxide? After these particularly shite weeks at work, I have weekend of escapism planned. See Red for drinks Fri, get train to Brighton on Saturday (while listening to new Kasabian album), meander around new city for a while, catch up with my mates Pete & Dorian, have roast on Sunday, get train home all relax-ed. Also considering a massage at some point to remove the tension across my neck and shoulders. Due to overanalysation of all things great and small, presuming actual stopping of thinking will never happen. How was the Dylan Moran movie? BFF’s get to see story too. Or else.
