I’m watching an old episode of Time Team and it’s very apt as I’m going up Leckhampton Hill tomorrow to do some geo-physics. I’m really looking forward to it too. There is an Iron Age Hill Fort up there and Maisie and myself could find something new! You never know, we could be ground breaking 
The bit that Maisie doesn’t like is that we’re walking there and it’s almost 6 miles away. We’re going to start out early though and take it slowly, I want to take a load of photos on the way as well as when we get there. So, watch this space! Will I find anything??
Really looking forward to tomorrow

Films and IMDB

Sometimes films make me want to look at IMDB to see what others think of it. The Squid And The Whale was one of these. I hated this film, it was hugely pretentious and certain parts (you’ll know which parts if you’ve seen it) made me feel almost like a paedophile, which is never a good thing. Everyone who reviewed it on IMDB seemed to be just as pretentious as the film and the whole thing really irked me.
One thing I really don’t get about IMDB reviewers however, is that they say films aren’t true to life. Isn’t that one of the points about films?? That they are a bit of escapism from real life? Last night I watched Lars And The Real Girl which I loved. Just a story of a few months in the life of the people in a small town somewhere in America (or possibly Canada). Obviously this isn’t a normal few months otherwise it would probably make a slightly boring film. This morning I went onto IMDB to see what others thought about it and they said it was silly and not true to life. Of course it wasn’t true to life you idiots!!! The human race probably isn’t that nice!!! There is a tiny little part of me that likes to think it could, or possibly has happened. I’m sure it has, not unnecessarily with exactly the same subject matter (doll), but I’m sure there are towns and villages everywhere that have helped a person through some horrible time in their life like they did in this film.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about then I suggest you watch this film, it was great.
Stressed
August 17, 2008 at 11:40 pm (life, work)
It’s 0033 hours and I should be in bed. Thing is, I can’t sleep because of work. Well, not necessarily work but the course I am doing at work. I am extremely far behind on my studies. I am meant to get time at work to do it, but there is no time. I would try to do it at home but it is summer hols and my girl needs to see me at some point. I have three workbooks and one and a half units to finish by October! I think I need to take the whole lot into work and sort things out. If I can get it done by October then I shall be half way though the whole course and I will get a pay rise sooner rather than later. My boss wanted me to sell the course to another girl in another shop and I could only say that it is a great course as long as you have no kids or social life!
I need organising!!
