Ah Friday, how I long for the end of you

I keep starting to compose posts in my head, but somehow it never seems to get further than that.

The Huggy-Buggys came to visit. They were very tired after their hard-core tourism, with more yet to come, so we had a quiet domestic evening, and a wee wander around town in the morning. If they haven’t already said, ask them about their hire car. Try to work the word “bus” into the conversation. *Is so mean*

Weekends have been alternating between complete vegetation, and being very social. Movies have been seen and mostly enjoyed. Transformers was fantastic. Thank you Zephfi for convincing me to go! I saw Hot Fuzz the other weekend, as well. Did that have a NZ release? Well worth seeing if you haven’t already. Hilarity ensues, with much playing on the intrinsic homo-eroticism of buddy movies.

We finally got some decent weather last weekend, so I went with a couple of friends out to Rhossili Beach in south Wales. Ahh the beach. It had real sand and everything! I took pictures!

I have also been shopping. The key thing of note are the Shoes of Awesome. I think they will be really comfortable walking shoes for my holidays. They are immensely practical. And also unbelievably cute! They are white canvas with little cherries printed all over them. They are a little bit strappy, and have a liitle bit of heel on them, and I love them lots. *shoe bliss*

Heroes has finally made it to terrestrial. At last! We’re only up to episode 3, but I’m gripped. Can I just say that I hate the politician guy? Leaving aside his somewhat skewed priorities, he still really bugs me. I think it’s his voice. I don’t know, but I don’t like him.

Holiday plans are progressing apace. Which is really just as well, considering it’s about 2 weeks away! I have also added in a weekend in Paris the week after Turkey. I worked out the other day that I will spend 5 consecutive weekends out of the UK. I cannot believe how broke I am going to be, but it’ll be so very worth it. :o)

I get to spend the afternoon with the Divine TP tomorrow. I will probably tell you about it in another month. *sucks at this whole communicating thing*

Oh look. Now it’s lunch time. Super!

both the Petrelli brothers irritate me. Peter for his haircut alone! Nathan reminds me so much of the guy from Quantam Leap. Fav characters are Hiro and Ando tho - they rock!

We have Hot Fuzz on DVD, even. tis awesome. there are about 5 commentaries on the dvd.. we're one down, but fortunately it's hugely rewatchable. actually, one of the creators said he's not interested in making stuff that ISN'T rewatchable

Peter has Evil-Spidey hair! He must be bad! Hiro and Ando (cute play with the names - Hero and Plus 1) are so adorable. I'm really interested to see what's going on with Claire's dad. He appears to have seriously conflicted motivations. Those are always fun.

I gather the guys who did Hot Fuzz also had a TV series over here some time ago, called Spaced. I don't know if it ever made it to NZ. If it did I missed it, which seems a shame now.

yah, J is trying to locate Spaced as we speak. should be interesting.

Claire's dad is awesome. i also like his glasses. actually, Heroes is fun for me cos lots of the actors look like other actors, so it's some sort of spot-the-fake-cameo thing!
