Started on a Coen Brothers fuelled film-fest last night with Blood Simple, an edgy, noir-styled, twisting thriller. Tonight I continued the Coen Bros. theme by watching the enigmatic but hugely entertaining, Barton Fink. Great films and both slide snugly into the top drawer of my favourite films filing cabinet.

Not sure whether to continue that trend later tonight by watching The Hudsucker Proxy or perhaps to leave that until tomorrow evening. Incidentally all these films are available as part of the Coen Brothers Collection box-set which I recently acquired, the fantastic Big Lebowski completing an excellent quartet.

Think I might just see if I can’t grab a couple more titles from the January sales and go all Coen flavoured right through into the New Year.

Back to playing Deus-Ex 2 on the old Xbox then…

Rah today was fun, Work was absolutely manic but I gots paid last night for the first time in ages and now I have two days off! Earlier today I went shopping at work for a few select titles including Napoelan Dynamite, Gross Pointe Blank, Layer Cake and I finally got around to purchasing Trainspotting as well.

As if that wasn’t enough I also went mad in Boots grabbing all my King of Shaves gear for the ‘perfect shaving experience’ although I have just realised I forgot to get blades for my razor, Doh! as well as other much needed supplies.

Finally my flatmates from the first year of Uni have just informed me they are coming to Portsmouth for New Years Eve so I’ve now got that to look forward to as well. I also bumped into another couple at work who informed me they were looking to emigrate to Canada and I took that as a sign to get off my ass and start looking into a move myself. Phew! Now to relax and grab some chow

Oh, I’ll settle down with some old story
About a boy who’s just like me
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
You’re so naive!
They always reach a sorry ending
They always get it in the end
Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then
With a winning smile, the poor boy
With naivety succeeds
At the final moment, I cried
I always cry at endings

Oh, that wasn’t what I meant to say at all
From where I’m sitting, rain
Falling against the lonely tenement
Has set my mind to wander
Into the windows of my lovers
They never know unless I write
This is no declaration, I just thought I’d let you know goodbye
Said the hero in the story
It is mightier than swords
I could kill you sure
But I could only make you cry with these words
