Day 54 - Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

The joy of being a contractor is that you can wake up in the morning, not feel like going to work, text your manager to tell him that you won't be in work, get a reply to say that's AOK, and you know what?, that's exactly what happened today! The company pays nothing for my services today, I get to chillax - both parties are delirious with happiness! So after a leisurely rise from slumber, and a positively horizontal breakfast, I dandered along to the cinema to enjoy a double-scoop of cinematic goodness. Being in a leisurely disposition, I took the LUAS, and was surprised to see a packed train head in the other direction, to the O2, but hence discovered that it was half-term for the schoolkids, and the X Factor tour was putting on a matinee show. With 10,000 seats sold-out on a Wednesday afternoon at €50 a pop, it is clear to see that the country is in utter turmoil and ruin - where are people to receive their next meal? It's a bleedin' disgrace, and all the fault of those evil property developers.

However, I digress. Having viewed so many films of late, the choice was a little restricted, so first up was Just Go With It (4/10), starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, and although it had a ridiculous plot and horrific dialogue, it was curiously watchable, mainly thanks to the delectable Brooklyn Decker and Ms. Aniston.  Next up was I Am Number Four (6/10), which was basically Twilight with aliens, but was most enjoyable and very well made.


Putridly vile Brooklyn Decker
