"WE'RE WIDE AWAKE!" I let my Clie run down over the last two days and now I have to recharge the little guy from scratch. I feel like I've killed my tamagotchi. Last night we watched The Four Musketeers which cuts even more corners than the first movie but is awesome. Oliver Reed of course has all the good lines and the best scene in the movie is when he points a pistol at Faye Dunaway: "Have you ever seen a woman shot in the stomach?" Awesome. The weather outside is beautiful. Thankfully I am enclosed in my Foyles bubble so most of the people I'll meet today will at least have the ability to read. From my seat here I can watch the rest of London stagger past, exposed and sun blistered, scraping their knuckles on the filthy streets. The best part of today was waking up. I usually hate forcing myself out of my pit but Jess had made a great CD to wake up to. While the rest of the country rots its collective brains with radio DJs and advertising we had the pleasure of the following tracks: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - AC/DC We've Had Enough - Alkaline Trio Solitary Man - Johnny Cash Well Well Well - Le Tigre No Hero - The Offspring Go Shopping - Bran Van 3000 Electric Head - White Zombie Gotta Go - Agnostic Front Roller Girl - USS Friendship This Is How You Remind Me - Nickleback Every Thug Needs A Lady - Alkaline Trio Where Eagles Dare - The Misfits Backseat Education - Zodiac Mindwarp Black Rabbit - Turbonegro Stand Up and Shout - Dio Last Piece - GTO Walking in LA - Missing Persons Take the Power Back - Rage Against The Machine Youth Gone Wild - Skid Row Hey Chico! - Sona Fariq Sheena is a Punk Rocker - The Ramones Needless to say I was almost late for work...
