When I Have A Splitting Headache

(Or, 5 Random Things That Don't Fit Into A Category And I Already Said I Have A Headache So Don't Fucking Start... Ok?)

1. Outside the theatre this morning there was a single red carnation. Not trampled, not old, just rested in the middle of the pavement. In the middle of the road was a dead pigeon, and in the middle of the carpark was a skip. And in the middle of the skip were the remains of various sets. Gold sprayed fabric twined over hasty frames, contorted to fit in.
2. Went to see The Notebook, cried like a baby, fell in love with it. I keep trying to work out specific aspects to mention, but it was all brilliant. The acting, the writing, the story, the cinematography... all really well put together. Of course, UGC did make me get up early as there weren't any evening screenings, but it was definitely worth the effort.
3. Bought some new cds with a gift voucher. The only currency I am currently familiar with. Black Hawk Down soundtrack, Romeo + Juliet soundtrack (As a soundtrack junkie I can't believe I didn't already own this) and Songs Of Praise by The Golden Virgins. Heard the latter on radio 1. I never listen to radio any more. I remembered the name. I never ever remember band names. I managed to find it in HMV. I cannot remember the last time I managed to find a specific album I was looking for in a shop. I took all this as a sign I should buy it. I have no idea if I'm actually going to like it, but as a trophy achievement I now own it.
4. I saw a kid with a big football style bouncy ball attached to him today. It was orange, with a big smily face painted on. The ball, not the kid, that is, and there was that coiled kind of springy elastic securing it. He kicked, the ball came flying back, he was a very happy little boy. I love noticing other people's children, it reminds me joyfully the extent to which they're nothing to do with me.
5. Rock, Paper, Saddam, gacked from Bernice
