As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree' -- probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.

Ho Hum - just ten working days to go and I will be unemployed, no longer to walk through the doors of NTL Hell, no longer a slave to a company that basically sucks.

I have no regrets however, and many of my greatest friendships blossomed from this hellish landscape. Not to mention the love of my life, without whom I would be nothing. So in that sense I have a lot to thank this soul-sucking void of nothingness for. It is with some sadness then, that I will be leaving on March 31st, whith a small cardboard box full of memories and the odd stolen piece of stationary.

Shocking Fish, The Chest : I know this goes against everything I have ever said but I'm sad goddamn it - it's the end of an era.

And I am ready for a new challenge! Whoo Hoo!!

I think this might be the best thing that happens to me in a long while - being made redundant. I need to have a change and I need to get organised and off my derriere and on to planning new things in life - eg. Canada. Hell, I have even considered buying myself a palm pilot to get organised! How geeky is that! Anyway, watch this space, positive things are afoot!

Something I have been pondering, totally unrelated to this conversation and I think The Chest may agree - I am saddened by the new spate of Horror Movies coming out these days, all bar Saw which was rather clever.

And I am annoyed by two not so new Horror films that started off very well and could of been great Horror movies had they not turned into really bad (and not in a good way) Horror movies. Jeepers Creepers was AMAZING in the first half hour, all the way through that bit where they get chased and go to old creepy knickers' house, and she falls down the tube into the pit full of disgusting things? I damn near wet my pants. And Darkness Falls! The first ten minutes was terrifying! Shame after the sublime introduction it all went horribly downhill and awful. And it seemed to be so American! Like the cast of Dawson's Crack were being stalked by a toothless witch - what wasted opportunities to reinvent the Horror Genre - all gone.

Like I said What a Geek!

Maybe I could be a film critic for crappy films! *Speciality Crap Dance Movies*

NB: Wonder why there have never been any plans for a sequel to Footloose?
