Welcome To My Morning of Feeling Crap
Because I was woken up last night at approximately arse-o-clock in the morning by a fire alarm. Some daft bimbo was smoking in her non-smoking room and set the alarm off, causing hundreds of people to file grumpily outside in various states of undress to face the cold night. At least it wasn't sodding raining. To top it off, in the sleep numbed hurry of getting out of my room I left my dumb-ass room key and promptly locked myself out. The farce accelerated when the hotel staff started doing a name call. Hundreds of people pissed off, and they want to know us all by name?! Thankfully they eventually gave up, since it was clear there was no actual fire and anyone not there had either wandered off in delerium or was pissed (and lucky) enough to sleep through it.
Anyway, finally got back to my room, heart still pounding from the intial arse-shaker that was the alarm, taking some time to try and wind back down so I could get back to sleep. But my mind was in "one of those" states - you know, the I'm-really-tired-my-eyes-are-glued-shut-but-my-mind-is-being-the-bastard-that-
won't-shut-up-and-WHAT-THE-HELL-IS-THAT-DRIPPING-NOISE?!!!!!
Really - a dripping noise that started as soon as I was drifting off to sleep. After ransacking the entire room, I realised that it must be the radiator pipes... next door. Arse all I could do about it. Drip.... Drip..Drip..........Drip....Drip. And my mind wouldn't let it go. So lay awake for another hour until the bloody noise stopped.
Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. I'll be doing that tonight. Unless some other dunce sets off the alarm.

Okay so some internet access - my email accounts don't seem to work here, but with the help of Cheesy I've managed to forward my yahoo stuff to gmail, so keep sending there those of you who are of the emailing ilk.
Going good so far - hotel is livable, but the lights buzz, which is liable to piss me off in my quieter moments. But am actually getting to know some people on this one, so that's a good thing (if meeting people can be considered to be such).
Now if I can just get in the writing mode, that'll be even better. Heh. Can't see it being tremendously likely this week!
Anyway, hope all is well with everyone in the blog world - at least be glad you're not blogging in northampton - peterborough's armpit.

Well, I'm off to Northampton for a month tomorrow! Got a stinking cold which isn't making packing very productive, but I'm persevering. Cheesy has been looking after me, which only brings it home harder that I have to fend for myself from tomorrow. Uck.
Anyway, don't be surprised if I'm mostly incommunicado for a bit - I don't have internet access at the office at the mo, and I'll be in a rinky dink hotel with no internet account, so I'll be doing little emailing - I will try to drop in updates where I can though.
Where the hell I'm gonna fit in Christmas shopping now I dunno!

After nasty blogger has destroyed my political rant, I can only assume the fates do not wish it to be released into the public domain. That and I'm too lazy to retype it. Let it just be known the result was not what I hoped for. There was also a razor sharp analysis of morals (As the Bush is supposed to have it seems), and the fact that he has none that matter, Bush only represents the bigoted side of Christianity, and few of its nice bits. As once said by Brendon Burns, the message of most religions is "Try not to be too much of a c**t today" (sorry Momo/Popo), something it seems Bush is not familiar with, since he;s pretty much one every day.
*Copies what has already written in bitter paranoia*
Anyway, me stuff.
Been enjoying my lady-of-leisure time. Good old rewrite of Switch which I'm pleased with. Just need to decide what to start work on next.
Me and Bron took a last minute trip to Brighton on Wednesday. Turns out Rare Breed were performing Waking again at the Marlborough Theatre. Absolutely gorgeous little venue - I wish we had places like that on the London fringe. The show worked much better in the smaller more claustrophic space - as fab as Bedlam Theatre is, it was just too big. Lucie and Tim have come along as well, and there were some nice little changes here and there that worked very well. Bron and I also frolicked on a pebble beach and paid a visit to Brighton Pier. Bron descended at one point into agonising tooth pain, but a suitable level of drugs eventually fixed that. Met more of the Rare Breed crowd - really great bunch of people. I'll have some pics from Waking soon, so I'll post them up when I get them.
Also got myself another job. Going to be a cashier on a film called Kinky Boots. It's a nice short project, only 2 months really, but I do have to spend the first month up until Christmas in Northampton. Never been before, so any advice/warning on the place would be welcomed. Eep.
Looking forward to watching the Incredibles when it's out, and this other movie's trailer has got me all giddy. Roll on December!

Went to the Cast & Crew Screening of Bridget Jones:The Edge of Reason on Sunday - woohoo, the movie is very good. Especially cause it's got my name on the end - I demand you all go watch it and then dutifully watch the credits for my name under "Accounts Assistant" - eeeeeeee. Most exciting. Renee herself also showed up and gave a sweet speech thanking the crew - not that I ever met her, but I'm sure Colin must have mentioned the fascinating Accounts Boffin he met ;)
Me and Cheesy are considering watching the election tonight. Tense stuff really - I almost wish I could have a party over people over, so we could all either party hard if Kerry was elected, or communally mourn our inevitable world destruction if Bush is. Let's face it - if he is elected, we have cause to be tense the next four years - everyone does. Uck. I hate politics. I wish they were nicer.
Life is calm with me at the moment as I sit around and do nothing. Bad behaviour really - I promise to be more productive tomorrow.
