Back To The Future

Something surreal is happening.

I'm currently reading...a comic!

Much like back when I was a kid when I would collect the Dandy & the Beano comic books and go around to my friend Chris' house and we'd sit around reading them and swapping them and seeing how many we could get through in a day. Then we'd go up to Morley Market, trade them in at the book store for about 20p each and then with the money we had, we'd buy more newer ones to read. It was great. I liked the Bash Street Kids best...in fact there was one called "Teacher's Black Book"...that was my favourite along with one of the Numbskulls one.

Anyway...those days were seemingly long gone...until yesterday when I bought "Watchmen" the 'graphic novel' which has recently been turned into a huge blockbuster movie. Apparently, in circles that I definitely don't belong to, it has long been said that there was no way that Watchmen would ever be turned into a movie because it's quite simply too complex...well here we are.

Now I've never been a huge fan of reading a book before seeing a movie...but for some odd reason, this time it just felt right. Currently about 29 pages in and loving it...will keep reading and hopefully pick up the film next week sometime.

In other movie news, I went on a freebie, courtesy http://www.seefilmfirst.com/ to see Marley & Me with Charlotte at the cinema last week. It's a lovely story starring Jennifer 'I'll always be Rachel from Friends' Aniston and Owen 'bent-nose' Wilson all about family life and the most troublesome dog in the world. Absolutely loved the film and I won't say anything more because I really don't want to spoil what happens...you'll understand when you see it...just go see it!

Currently i'm on a house-sitting week for my friend...well I say house-sitting, it's more Dog-sitting. A house doesn't really need looking after, but if ya don't feed the dog, the dog gets hungry, the dog decides to eat the first thing it sees and I don't fancy that thing being my leg! All is good though, they've got an Xbox so I've just plugged in my Hard Drive and i'm playing like i'm at home...except I have discovered "Fable 2". Oh yes. Absolutely love this game now...gonna get some more hours in on it tonight methinks.

Other news :

• Leeds United up to 5th in League One and all going well...for now! Swindon at the weekend at home so fingers crossed on another 3 points.
• One Fat Spider are at the Cross Keys in Morley on Saturday...might have to be up there for that!
• Work going fantabulous now i'm finally onto my new job as assistant cash forcaster! Oooooh! Get me!
• Me and Charlotte still insanely in love with each other...will this feeling ever wear off? I hope not!
• In 3 weeks time i'll be in Houston, Texas...bring on Wrestlemania...found out that if I queue at Fan Axxess, i'll have the chance of meeting Edge, HHH, HBK, JBL and Batista! How cool is that!

So until the next update...

Adios!
