A Time For Everything

I must be getting old.

I came home from a horrendous musical experience at church, (timing is not something our current drummer is always blessed with, and as the guitar player it usually falls to me to keep the rhythm, which would be fine except that even when I start songs, he doesn't listen to what I'm playing and just merrily carries on thumping away!) and decided that I felt a bit tired, as I have been feeling more and more over the last few weeks, so I decided to have a doze...

The doze turned into two hours of waaaaaay deep sleep, so deep that I woke up with a headache, realised I'd very attractively dribbled on my pillow, (!) and felt like someone had drugged me!! I must have really needed that sleep.

The reason I was so tired was because my brother (Peter) very kindly took me to see the new Bond film at the cinema. (Being as I am skint for the next year as I've determined to use ALL of my wage that is left over each month to get myself out of debt - that's another post for another time) I can only say one word to describe Casino Royale:

FANTASTIC!!!

I really really enjoyed it, Daniel Craig, despite some criticism he's had about not looking the part did excellently. There is much more of a plot to the film, the cheesy evil villains and one liners are completely gone, and the action in the film is numerous, from death defying leaps, to heart-in-your-mouth car chases and crashes, to horrific torture! The new bond is much colder and more efficient, even though he's been re-invented to the status of a new agent. Even in the torture scene, they manage to make some of it funny without being cheesy, and I really liked the fact that in this one, Bond even at some points is dependant on other characters.

The only problem was that we went to the 10:10 showing, which combined with 25 mins of adverts at the beginning, (I kid you not!!) made us leave the cinema at 1 am, much later than I'd anticipated!! Hence the tiredness today. I'm playing again tonight at church, so will be heading off soon-ish so I can get there early and tune up. (I was a tad out this morning, none of the congregation would notice, but I'm a perfectionist briefly when it comes to being in tune)

I'm a bit frustrated at church at the moment. The sermon this morning was about joy, and I've never seen such a bunch of miserable people in my life that were sitting there this morning!! Oh well, I suppose I'm part of it too.

Right, have to go, will post again later I'm sure...
