I'm off to see the film 'Wanted' after the show today.
I'm seeing it for many reasons. It looks good, the stuff with the bullets looks cool, I have free tickets, I have some spare time for the first Saturday in months, but mainly I'm seeing it because I need to know, does Angelina still have it going on.
I'm thinking we may have hit that stage where Megan Fox takes over from her in the relay of hotness that goes off in my head.
I'll keep you posted.

End Of The Month
Are you getting that end of the month feeling where you realise you need to get your head around your money situation? I feel your pain.
I think we all feel it but it's made worse by the ever present threat of the credit crunch.
Then check out the George Divel site, because he knows his way round money.
George has worked in financial since 1998. So he's seen the economic climate do similar things before.
And this time it's not even a full-blown recession, so if you keep your head, with the help of someone like George, you should all be fine.

I was in a coffee shop again this morning, doing some writing (you know, like poncy people like me do. We go to coffee shops, get out a laptop and let the world know we don't have a proper job) and I saw a woman who blew my mind. Don't worry, no affair on the horizon, I just couldn't reconcile what I was seeing.
I looked up and saw the hands of a woman stood near as she sorted out her little sachets, and they were the most beautiful hands I'd ever seen. OK, I don't normally notice hands, so I don't have a lot to compare them to, but these were good 'uns.
Well manicured, petite, dainty. Oh, and skilled at putting a Splender into a cappuccino, which is a quality I like in a woman.
But as she walked away, I was ready to look up and check out the face of this stunner and.... dude, it was like someone's granny!
Gulp!
Seriously! Beauty parlours, stop doing pensioner discounts!

Diaz
As much as it may make me sound stuff, I have to agree with people who say that education is the most important thing. It's not about what you learn (although that stuff about the Ox-bow lake will always come in handy) is that you learn how to learn. That's the thing that will do you well for the rest of your life.
But to teach others you have to have the right energy.
I've just stumbled across a very interesting site. It's the site of Norberto Diaz and this dude has some energy. You could wire him up and run a small town off him.
And energy is contagious. I defy anyone to not feel a little more buzzy after going to his site.
He's a school principal who the kids like, and I think that's a step in the right direction to getting them to enjoy learning.

BB Spitgate
Just been reading about the issue of Dennis spitting on Mohamed in the Big brother house. Oh my god, get him out. That is waaaaaaaaay over the mark.
I have to say, I'm going to be biased about this. I know I shouldn't be, but spitting just pushes my buttons.
If I see people spit in the street I start to feel like I'm going to be sick. If I don't get away from them I start to get that lump under the jaw that tends to be before throwing up.
Now, the logical part of my brain tells me that throwing up in the street is far more disgusting than spitting in the street, but my logical side doesn't get a say in this.

MPG
With the price of gas being so high lately it's nice that I can feel good about having an economical car. There's a thing in the car that tells me how good it's been. I'm getting around 38mpg from that thing. Not bad.
So now when some massive car rips me up at the lights I just think, "At the current price that's about a tenner he's just wasted."
But, if you're into cars have a look at a nice Car Blog I found, it's www.moddedautos.com. It's a good read. And if you're really really into cars, join the forum. I might do that right now just to boast about my 39mpg. Read 'em and weep ladies!

Tonight I went out for a celebratory meal, kind of an anniversary thing, and I did something that I think proves that the relationship is good.
My GF used to be a veggie and now still only eats certain meats. And tonight I ordered the 16oz steak, medium-rare.
It was big, it was bloody and it was good.
And as I eat this massive thing that a good vet could've saved, she didn't moan at all.
That's the true sign.

A Dream Location
Do you have those dreams where you're reliving something you went through a few years back? I get it a lot with my degree finals. It's the third year and I haven't been to any lectures and the exams are that day. I can tell you I'm over the flipping moon when I wake up and realise it was all a dream.
But the other night I was reliving the time when I didn't have a place to stay and had to find one in two days. Every where I called they had already let it. Now, in real life I found a place, jumped on it and it turned out the landlady was a nutter. Happy days.
So my advice would be to use something like roomster.net. It is a great site for finding a place to live. You can search for places where you are sharing with only women (because men are pigs, we know this) or you could search for places where you're sharing with only men (because women's cycles synchronise and that's like crop circles, no one knows why but it is a little bit scary) or you could even search to share a place with people of a certain star sign.
You can search by the size of the place or the location. Here's what it looks like...
I like the bit that says "Looking For: Either Sex". I'm thinking, "Either sex or what?"
It is a really 'useable' site though, which I think is the most important thing. Oh, and when you see the prospective landlady ask her if she thinks it's acceptable to leave moaning letters taped to the toilets cistern. If she says yes, trust me, don't take it.

I know it's been a while since I did a diary entry thing, but I've been busy getting another two jobs. I'm now up to four jobs, which means I never get a second to do anything that's fun, but on the plus side... in your face credit crunch!
In fully intend to let my spending get a little out of control and ever so slightly over heat the economy.
Oooh, I'm a rebel.

ID Cards
I used to work in a place with ID cards to get you in from one part of the building to another. It was a place that broadcast live TV so you couldn't just have any old so and so walking into the studio. But it had the effect of making you feel safe. We didn't mind leaving our bags on our desks because you knew there were only 7 people who could get into that bit. And you also kept the place tidier because you knew that if it looked a mess there was no one else you could blame, you were clearly the responsible one.
I have also worked in places where there weren't any ID cards and everyone was free to go where ever they wanted. It wasn't as much fun. For a start you didn't feel special about working there.
I know that some places with security issues have to have employee ID cards, like hospitals and TV studios, but I think more and more places should get them. From my own experience I know it makes the work environment feel safer and it also makes you feel like doing more work. You feel more motivated, if that makes any sense.
If you run a place and you think you could buy into my idea have a look at www.id-cardsolutions.co.uk. That's a place that does id card printing systems so you could get yourself all set up with a new system in no time.
As an employer you will benefit from the increase organisation, and as an employee you will feel better about the job.
In fact there's only one down side to having employee ID cards, it's when you get sacked. That's bad enough but when you have to hand in that ID card, man that hurts.
Still, if you can't get a job again just buy your own ID card printing system and run in round your own house.
"What's that gas man, you want to check the meter? Well, sign in and I'll get someone to walk you through."
