Weather

Oh, and I'm gonna buy this place, that's what I said,
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head ..

The weather has finally reached a point that I'm enjoying. I stopped checking the weekly forecast about a month ago because it was simply too depressing. There were never any days above 7 or 8 degrees. Then one day it shot up to 10 and I was all "Wicked, I might not wear gloves that day!" But today it's kinda glorious and warm and I have my sunglasses at hand.

An old person started talking to me about the weather when I was walking into uni. (Experience is teaching me to resign myself to the fact that I'm one of those people that random people talk to). And he said something like "nice weather here today! But apparently they've got snow in the midlands!" to which I said "ha, crazy" or something nonchalant like that, and he grabs my arm, looks me in the eye and says "makes you wonder why they call it global warming eh?".

I miss the time when old people just talked about being old or told crazy stories about their life or childhood. So I just said "have a good day" and carried on. It was better than grabbing him by the jacket and screaming "It's climate change motherfucker!" at him.

So yeah, do come see my new band, Climate Change Motherfucker on thursday.

Freddy vs Jason was on last night. I watched it once one night when I was about 14 and in my tired, delusional state, I told myself it was a good film. Then I watched it again last night, just to be sure. It is impressively bad. Given the choice I always vote team Freddy, because he's simply a better villain than Jason, but not even he redeemed that one.

However, if he were to appear in my dreams one night to kill me and stop me having to write my dissertation, I would greet him with a hug.
