Catch Up
Haven’t posted for awhile (excepting the Peter Kay post below).
I had an excellent weekend (Valentine’s Day) as Louise had bought me Pirates of the Carribean on DVD. This is just a fantastic film. We watched it twice over the weekend with Euan. And now, instead of coming home from work and playing knights, we’re playing pirates! Euan’s Jack Sparrow and I have to be Will Turner and we run about the house fighting the skeletons.
I’ve got hooked on the music too. So much so I posted a question on the brass band forum The Mouthpiece to see if there was a brass band arrangement of the main theme. This has now developed into a poll about reasons for watching the film, e.g. women leering at Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom, or blokes leering at Keira Knightly. Personally I watch it for Johnny Depp’s hilarious performance; he must have been drunk throughout the shooting of that film to have slurred all his lines!
As you can see I’ve now set up the webcam to display a picture on the blog site, must remember to tell Louise!
Louise and Euan have gone up to her mum’s for a few days as it’s half-term so I’ve got to fend for myself for the next few days. So I’ll be having fish fingers for tea tonight and watching The Matrix: Reloaded which my brother bought for me for Christmas and I haven’t got round to watching. I also need to watch all the additional extras on the Special Edition Fellowship of the Rings DVD that I’ve borrowed off my mum before she returns from France on Sunday and I expect I’ll watch the bonus features of Pirates too.
Looking forward to the band’s social do on Saturday night too. We’re going to a Greek restaurant in Watford where there’ll be food, drink, plate smashing, belly dancing and a disco. Should be a great night.
