The Christmas Eve Film Fest
Every year on Christmas Eve, Jane and I watch our favourite festive films and today will be no different.
We kick things off with Trading Places, which holds up against the test of time, except for the fact that casual racism was clearly a lot more acceptable back in the eighties.
This is followed by Home Alone, which is probably only entertaining to adults if you were a kid when it came out. I was so I'm set. Plus there's nothing more Christmassy than a grown man being shot in the groin with an air gun.
Third up is Die Hard, which IS a Christmas movie and a brilliant one at that. Hands down my favourite ever action movie, by the time "Let it Snow" starts playing you can't help but feel in the Christmas spirit, especially whilst surrounded by dead terrorists.
Finally we have Scrooged, with the excellent Bill Murray tackling on of my favourite stories (A Christmas Carol) in what has to be my favourite adaptation. Karen Allen's smile reminds me of the Joker, which is both fun and terrifying at the same time (much like the Joker himself I suppose).
So that's our day...what are you doing?

Hitting a club
On last night's work Christmas do, I ended up in a nightclub. I haven't really been clubbing for years (and not serious since I've been in a long term relationship - which is coming up for 8 years now). So I was just about 20/21 when I was clubbing regularly.
Going to a club now made me feel:
a) Old
b) Glad I was in a relationship
c) Old
d) Sorry for anyone who was trying to meet someone in a club
And did I mention old.
I'm not sure if it was the horny teenagers stinking of jaagermeister, sweat and desperation or the really poor music choices (apparently repeating a chorus of "don't piss me off" is a big thing, who knew?)
Either way, it was kinda fun to see how the other half live. Pathetically it seems.

Fear and Loathing in Canterbury
So tonight is my first official night out with my new work colleagues. I've been told heavy drinking is on the menu.
Here's hoping I don't do anything to embarrass myself too much. I would guess a lot of it would depend on the type of alcohol I'm drinking. As I've said before, different drinks have very different effects on me.
Fingers crossed I'll still have a job tomorrow...

Holding Out
Why has no-one covered Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out For A Hero"? Heard it yesterday on the advert for Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe (BTW looks Awesome). It stands up.
Musicians out there, take note.
