Burning the sunset

Tom: I've always wanted to be thrown out of church.
Jess: well, we can still arrange it, if that's what you'd like
Tom: I'll pipe up at "If anyone has reason.."

I've decided to have an msn quote at the start of every entry. I actually thought about it at some point last year but nobody said anything funny for a week so that killed it.

So I'm about to go out to dinner with my peep(s?) but I thought that I should probably do something constructive today so as to have not spent the whole day merely using up food and air.

Yesterday I was doing precisely that, until Em popped her little head out of the msn-sand and was all "You're coming with me to Castle Hill or something."

On our way to nowhere in particular, a street was lined with cars and people standing around. Em had heard that a comet would be showing itself and we assumed that was the reasoning behind those fifty or so people burning the sunset into their corneas. We pulled over and waited.

It was a beautiful event. Emma and I made New Comet Resolutions because we'd both been so lax at new years eve. After about 5 minutes of watching the speck, we realised how truly unspectacular it can be. So we drove off while other more-hardened spectators gave us weird looks.

We ended up watching Neverwhere. It's a bizarre BBC series we hired on DVD just randomly. It must be the geeks in us, because an underground city of fantasy characters below London is just too good NOT watch for 4 hours. Despite the

That sentence was meant to go somewhere! But instead I went out to the aforementioned dinner with Jess. It was tasty! And now it is 3 or 4 days later.

I've just been to Jess's bro's wedding. It ended the same time I would normally get out of bed. Sarah's dad flung his car into my driveway at 7.30. And I was just not up to it. I think he was trying to talk to me but I didn't understand the words coming out of his mouth and I was just trying to tangle my tie into submission while we careened into the city. But it was a really nice wedding. And my first. So that was an experience.

Now, watch Frisky Dingo. From start until finish. Because NOTHING should waste a few hours of your life but hilarious, epically-random cartoons.

It's always the underground city of fantasy characters with you, isn't it?
