We have house keys! And joy of joys, Dave likes the house. Picking a house without Dave seeing it too is jolly nervewracking. We did a bit of driving around, and it's about 10 minutes from everything. Everything being Dave's parents, the cinema (which is cheaper than Reading), the shopping centre, and about two minutes from the post office. Yay!

Talking of the cinema.... We saw The Island today. Not bad, although very predictable. The pacing was very slow for the first half of the movie but was really good towards the end. Scarlett Johansson can't act, but her lips are positively mesmerising. Djimon Hounsou was very, very good. He needs to get more roles--I really liked him in Constantine. The lovely Sean was wonderful as ever, and Ewan McGregot wasn't bad either. Oh, and I was thrilled to see Steve Buscemi in the film. I had no idea he was involved :D

I'd give it 6/10. One point deducted for lots of needles and one revolting eye-scene. (I can't handle any eye-nastiness in films these days.)

Steve Buscemi is the only reason I want to see it.

He was very good. I only wanted to see it for Sean Bean.

Congrats on the house! I'd never be able to take on a house without Slay seeing it first. Control freak that he is.

Thanks! This is the second house I've had to sort out without Dave's immediate input--we've sworn to do house hunting together when we buy, though....

Congrats on the house keys (and the house!) I'm glad it's so convenient to everything. Happy moving!

(And good luck tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you.)

[Rick apologizes in advance, but you've hit upon a pet peeve]

If I see one more worthless actress make it big because her lips are full and bloated and dewey and this side of collagen, I'll-- I'll-- Post rants like this 'cause there's nothing I can do, argh.

[cough]

Steve Buscemi's always good to see. :)

Oh God, I ranted and forgot to congratulate you on the house keys. :( I'm so sorry. [hug] Congrats, mate. Hook 'em to your belt so they'll jingle like spurs as you saunter proudly down the street.

Yay!
