Bloody New Year’s Eve

What is it about the last day of the year that brings all the fucking idiots out of the woodwork to make enquiries of me at the cinema?

Why ask us if we are open tomorrow after you have just asked what we are showing tomorrow?

Yes we have all these films showing but we are not going to be open we shall just fucking play them to an empty auditorium!

And yes we have not fucking closed down – you’re standing in the bloody foyer asking the question – what the fuck do you think.

How many fucking people can there be in the city that don’t know where the new huge Odeon Multiplex is and why the fuck would they think it is okay to ask us for directions given that they are our rivals who are trying to put us out of business.

All these bloody questions when I’m trying not to any actual work and write stuff for this blog.

Get the ball in the tunnel game.

Doom Funnel Chasers

Yet another physics based game that is simple and fun to play but to get truly high scores is very complicated, the top scores are a few orders of magnitude greater than my best score.

What’s the temperature Kenneth?

Amongst the various DVDs and books I got this Christmas I received one quite unexpected and unusual present. From my Dad and his wife I received a radio controlled thermometer.

Not exactly what I was expecting and I’m not entirely sure how useful I’ll find it. It is two digital devices one that you place outside that measures the temperature and relays it via radio to another unit inside.

It is currently minus 0.4 degrees Celsius outside and 21.9 inside.

Christ! It’s Christmas!

I’ve had a very merry day this 25th December although we didn’t get the white Christmas that was a possibility. This was my first Christmas by myself and it wasn’t half bad actually, spent half the day watching Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. In fact I’ve watched it twice, once through as normal and then again with the cast commentary.

I am well stuffed with excellent food and am relaxing in front of the computer screen instead of the TV like many people will be this evening. Nothing much worth watching anyway today other than The Simpsons’ alternative to the Queen’s Christmas message.

BBC News: Scrooge or Santa? asks MPs Lembit Opik and Stephen Pound of their views on Christmas.

Funny to read that Stephen Pound MP for Ealing North thinks it has become ‘a pagan festival of greed and falsity’ when it was originally a pagan festival that was hijacked by the church to encourage acceptance of this new religion that was replacing the old ways.

Merry Christmas

Well the clock has chimed twelve and it is now officially Christmas Day. Huzzah!!!

The video for Fairytale of New York is on Channel 4 and I just noticed that it stars Matt Dillon. Fucking love it.

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing “Galway Bay”
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

Merry Christmas everyone and I’ll see you later today after I’ve slept a while.

Christmas Eve at the cinema

Hooray I’ve just finished work until Monday.

We had a free screening of It’s a Wonderful Life today and we only had about 50 people in for it, where the hell is everyone.

What with free shows and closing early the cinema only took about £150 today. But there was some good news I had a pay increase that was backdated for about 10 weeks so I got a sizable amount of pay that I hadn’t been expecting.

I’ve been thinking recently that the cinema business is dying, in fact I reckon the entire movie industry will soon be facing major upheavals. I shall get around to writing in length about this but for now it’s time I got a little merry in preparation for Christmas.

He’s not the real Father Christmas anyway

Professor B’s pseudonymous kid reminds me a lot of how I was as a kid particularly in relation to meeting Santa Claus.

I was reluctant to go along with the common herd and sit on Santa’s knee and tell him what I wanted for Christmas, It’s not like he’s the real one anyway. “Why are you making me do this mum?” I would whine. I much preferred to conduct my Christmas wish list business with Father Christmas at a long distance via letter.

I remember that this event didn’t happen at a mall (didn’t have them back in the day in my neck of the woods) but in a small village hall and we had a Christmas breakfast of sausages and baked beans beforehand. Such are the weird traditions in small English rural communities.

Barf-o-Rama!

This week I shall be mostly playing Snow or Blow.

This is a very cute game where you have to move the little kids to catch snowflakes in their mouths, but watch out for the birds as they may deposit something in your mouth that doesn’t taste quite so nice.
