Gameboy Advance & 3 Games + Extras, starting at £35 on ebay. Anyone want?

Cupboard is looking messy still. However I have just spent 20minutes working on that listing, when I found the boxes for the gameboy in there :)

Best get on with it. Loud music good. Can't wait for something loud and thumpy.

Not that one. The one currently taking place in my house.

The cupboard - It's empty. Well not literally. There's an immersion heater and a hot water tank in there, and two boxes of stuff I put away when I moved into the place, mostly kitchen stuff as I have my own kitchen stuff. My living room looks like a bomb has hit it. Boxes all over the place, awaiting things to be put in them.

My theory is simple. I cannot abide clutter for long. I yearn for order and tidiness. I don't always achieve it but at least with all this *looks about* mess I shall be pushed into at least attempting to sort out the bits I can, as soon as possible.

Come on - I can barely get in and out the doorway, for starters.

I am beginning to regret dumping the box for my telly. I just don't have a big enough storage space for it, so really had to dump it.

It's Friday night, so where are all you LJers? Whilst you lot have been slacking, I have packed one set of PC speakers (Harmon/Kardon!) and one Slim Jim (nooo, it's a standard lamp). Gawd that slim jim's hard work. It's got this incredibly heavy base, and it was wedged in behind the stereo so getting it out meant trying to tease it out, like getting a frightened puppy out of a drainpipe.

I've got a box for stuff I can't decide whether to keep or chuck. I think this box will get very full very fast. I seem to have lots of stuff which has sentimental value, or potential use (WHY do I have so many clocks? And power supplies that don't have any matching power consumer?).

I'm considering selling my Zip drive, considering I don't have any spare IDE slots to plug it in to it's no use to me. Zip 100, I think, with about 7 or 8 Zip disks. Perfect working order last time I used it. Offers taken?

I'm going to have to start taking my Barr's bottles back. That's 3 in 2 nights. This cream soda is so good. 20p deposits on the bottles. I don't even know if they take them back in my local.

Digital Camera now at £50. Whoohoo.

Hallway's now passable, a ton of stuff bagged and ready for the trash. How American of me :)

In case you hadn't guessed, yes I am extraordinarily bored.

When I was down south and on my own hunting houses, I spent a lot of time wandering about and going "tum-te-tum, I am bored now", so ended up going to the cinema a couple of times. I saw "Down with Love" and "Intolerable Cruelty".

Down with Love is a 50's "pastiche", I think that's the right word... a pastiche of a random author who has written a book on how to get by without men, and her competing with "man about town" Ewan McGregor to prove a point. It's very well styled after films of the period, and very corny in many places. It's got some fantastic bits which make you laugh very hard, but some bits which made me cringe. Overall... worth getting out on DVD - otherwise don't bother.

Intolerable Cruelty? 10/10 - fantastic. I love George Clooney as an actor, I love the Cohen brothers directing. Good start :) It got a bit corny at the end but overall - packed with laughs and very watchable. The story of a hard-ass lawyer who breaks Marylin (Zeta-Jones) once, tries to do it twice, and then falls for her.

Anyhow. Bedtime it is. Working 8-8 tomorrow.
