  • Some Thoughts

    Last night was pretty quiet. I watched a few episodes of South Park and I played a bit of NHL 11 on the PlayStation.

    I had another full day at work, and it was pretty uneventful. It's been a crazy few weeks, and it does make me think of the fact that life is relatively short and things really can change very quickly. It is kind of important to be able to live in a way that is dynamic rather than static, and to try to embrace change and work with it rather than to constantly cling on to some kind of idealised version of the past. I'm often scared to do the things that I want to do and to go for the things that I want because I get worried that it will all go wrong and I'll end up even more miserable than I was before, but then again that's life. I have spent my entire life full of self doubt and self hatred. I want to like myself but I don't know how. Maybe by realising that, though, I can change things. I don't know.

  • Eventful Week

    Last night I was watching the movie Kick-Ass on DVD which is a really fun movie, about a teenage comic-book fan who decides to become a real-life superhero despite having no training and no skills.

    I went into work today and it was a fairly uneventful time. It's going to be a pretty draining week. I've got the assessment with the Occupational Health Service on Wednesday and then it's my Gran's funeral at the end of the week. Hopefully once this week is over with things will start to get better.

  • Back from Vacation

    Last night was pretty quiet. Today I went over to my parent's house for lunch as usual for a Sunday. My Mom was back today from a two and a half week holiday in the USA (she went to Las Vegas and San Francisco). I think she had a good time.

  • Movie Day

    Last night I went out to see my Dad (it was his mother who died a few days ago) and we went out to the Gourmet Burger Kitchen and had a barbecue burger and a couple of drinks. I think it was good for both of us to get out, actually.

    Today I went out and had a movie day to take my mind off things. I saw 30 Minutes or Less which is an action comedy starring Jesse Eisenberg as a pizza delivery boy who is captured and fitted with a bomb and told that he has ten hours to come up with $100,000 or the bomb will be detonated. So he and his friend (Aziz Ansari) decide to rob a bank. It was a very funny movie and very fast-moving.

    Then I watched Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy based on the John le Carre novel. It's set in the 1970s and stars Gary Oldman as a secret agent who is ordered to track down a Soviet double agent who has infiltrated the very highest levels of the British secret service. It was a really good movie, very bleak and complex.

  • Aftermath

    Today I had the day off work. I've not been out at all today. In the morning I was watching the movie Paul again this time with the audio commentary playing. Mostly I've just been thinking about everything that has happened over the past few weeks.
