Terrible Night @ Work :( :( & Allspark for my Soul :)

Well, Friday Night / Saturday Morning's shift at work was......... pretty damn terrible to say the least. What to blame....... the rain, the monsoon like conditions that are plaguing us at the moment. Whilst there isn't a whole load of flooding in my town (apart from the odd river like puddle), my place of work depends heavily on the reliability of the road / motorway network, which was largely closed off due to significant lathering of descended water. In some respects, things were a little easier, due to elements of our work being unavailable, however I despair at the idea of spending a night out in the elements, being pelted by water that's bouncing up at me from the ground. Oh, still no Xbox aswell, so my pleasure of being dry again faded quite quickly but a little excitement was building............... as we had seats booked to see Transformers on Saturday night, I used to love the cartoon as a young boy and playing with the toys helped me build a fascination in gadgets, specially ones with cool moving parts :)

So, Saturday arrives & I've acquired a blocked nose and sore throat, so somewhere along the line, a cold or similar virus has crept into my system and gone straight for the throat, quite literally. I am currently pelting it with a barrage of Vitamin C, a dribble of caffeine and a little Paracetamol to ease the unpleasantness, although the Vitamin C usually seals the deal quite rapidly. The day passes by quite quickly, well I did wake up at 15:00, had some food at 17:00ish, and my darling Stu came joined me for a little Stargate before we headed cinema-ward. SO, 3 hours later 20:00 hit the clock and we hit the mean streets of dullsville for the cinema and Trans"Awsome"Formers :) The experience was a little ruined for me due to feeling a bit mankey, but I very much enjoyed the film and am looking forward to getting hold of the DVD to tear apart. I generally prefer films on DVD, as I enjoy watching parts over and over again & taking in some of the finer detail in some films that largely passes by on the screen quite rapidly, so this will be much more of a treat for me on DVD.......... However, it was an awesome film, plenty of Robot vs Robot action, evil Xbox 360's (like mine), crazy fast action and a decent story. Its the summer blockbuster it intended to be, nothing too deep, you don't have to leave your brain outside, but you also dont need to have Wikipedia, a Calculator, a pair a pliars & a photograph of a parsnip handy to enjoy the film. An extractor fan and a can of powerful air freshener would have been appropriate during the ride to and from the cinema in my mate Stu's car though as the previous nights beer had turned his body into a producer of evil smells.

This leads me to now, Ive spent the past few days literally surfing from video to related video on Youtube and Spikedhumor, watching funny, freaky, informative and down right scary stuff...... but all rather entertaining :)

I want my Xbox Back!!!
