slemslempikeGood LORD how is it not yet three o'clock? Today is far too long. I have done pretty much nothing today, though I can at least pretend to be waiting for something to come in to enable me to work. Fortunately it's DFID Friday, when everyone works from home and so there are only a few people in the office who might notice my frequent trips to Buzzfeed to seek yet more distraction.
I was supposed to go to Scrabble speed dating last night, but it was cancelled, so instead I went to Bridget Jones's Baby. I really liked it! I haven't seen the film for many years, and judging by the sounds of pleased recognition and affection that the other audience members were making, most others were in the same boat. I knew Daniel wasn't going to be dead really! I was a bit sad he wasn't in it, as I always felt that, twattery aside, he was nice with bridget and made her laugh, not feel awful and insecure, as Mark did. I liked that Bridget had grown up and was successful, they hadn't just transplanted her 28 year old self fifteen years on and kept everything else the same. I liked that she had new friends, but still saw her old ones. Her mum changing her platform to show that she supported Bridget was very sweet, and her poster "Pam Jones supports single mothers, immigrants and most homosexuals" gave me my biggest laugh of the night.
I was a bit miffed about the last minute cancellation of the Scrabble, I had managed to get myself in the right frame of mind to look forward to it, rather than viewing the whole enterprise with resentment and suspiscion.
