Alarms go off all over the complex. Three large taps jut out of the floor at 45°. Lights flash red as the camera pans along the taps. Oxygen spurts from each of them in turn as the camera pans past them. A man in a SpaceSuit(TM) runs down lots of stairs to the floor. Tightens each of the taps a little. The alarms stop. A woman appears from nowhere, also attired in a space suit. SpaceSuit(TM) Woman: You just saved hundreds of lives! (Flips visor(TM) so we can see how very pretty she is) Generic Male Lead: It’s what I get paid to do! SpaceSuit(TM) Woman: I can’t believe your modesty (Removes headgear and flicks hair) Generic Male Lead: I was hardwired for modesty SpaceSuit(TM) Woman: Should I thank you now, or later? Generic Male Lead: Howabout now? SpaceSuit(TM) Woman: (unzips. Breasts flop out) And that’s probably about as much of Total Recall 2070 as I’ll ever bother watching...
Chris Out with Chris on Wednesday night, very messy. Bought a few books before he arrived, a very old fairy tale book published in Went to XXL and lots of things happened that I can’t quite remember. Up earlyish to admire each other’s hangovers on Thursday and wandered off to Selfridges to sniff perfume. Got sidetracked by deep fried chicken. We’re sooo classy Decided coffee would be the best idea so wandered to the Selfridges basement to discover that they’d let someone called Dadadandy attempt surrealism with varying degrees of success. Some of it was very cool, some was just downright odd. Fun though. Miles popped along too and we wandered through Oxford Street and to Covent Garden. Popped into Graphics Centre and bought more paper for piccies. Said hello to Lee at his stall. Popped to Forbidden Planet to grab both Runaways and Buffy Season 8 #2. Left both Chris and Miles at the station and headed home on le bus. Am liking Buffy Season 8 — very good so far. Intriguing, even, and the comic book format gives it a scope and grandeur that the series could never have. Plus...Giant Dawn Met up with Dan yesterday, not seen him in nearly 2 years, still looks the same heh. Chilled out at mine, tried to get his PAYG O2 phone to work as a modem, failed. He headed off at about 2ish and then I napped for a while an stuff. Sleepy me. Chatted to Danny, he’s got his sleeve done and was a little bit wrecked last night heh. Been fiddling with Joost for the morning so far. Hence the appalling Total Recall 2070. Interesting and sorta works ok. There’s an Anime channel and a cheesy scifi channel and an indie film channel and that’ll probably do me for now. Best thing is, I can do work on my main screen and just leave my other screen playing “telly” at me. Which is a little distracting but kinda neat Today I shall attempt to do Barking (if the FatShop is open). And then I’ll try and contact the lost property office of TFL to see if my bag’s shown up. Gah. Drunk is bad. Now I’m Palmless So maybe I’ll get back to being teetotal...
