Today I'm taking a sick day. I have what is either a chest infection or a bad case of hayfever (symptoms can sometimes be similar). Whatever it is I'm suffering the tortures of the damned (tickly coughs, wheezing chest not helped by asthma, throat filling up with spittle or foam and that yucky catarrh taste) and Lemsip All-In-One doesn't seem to be impeding it's progress in anyway. Phoned for a doctor's appointment yesterday but the earliest is Thursday at 4.00 pm.

In other news.... Me and me mate Shareen caught my mad sister The Debster singing along to Eric Carmen (not even Eric Cartmen!) in her wardrobe mirror yesterday, lol! That is well shameful! She'll deny it of course but here's some partial evidence:



This is of course an act of revenge. It's bad enough that my crazy sister has the daft idea that I'm a serial killer (I suspect she's even told Paris to stay away from me and not to call me anymore *GAH*) but now she's even told some guy at her work called Doakes, who's taken to tailing me around wherever I go. Very annoying! Especially when I... er... wanna go and grab a sandwich or something.

RIP special effects whiz Stan Winston :(

In brighter news.... At: http://www.parishiltonsite.net/fightin-over-me-music-video/ there's a wonderful collection of Paris videos. A quick silent photo collection, a two minute promo clip for Fightin' Over Me, an quick interview with Paris from the time of her album release and a video of her singing along to her song Screwed at some club and talking a bit to the announcer and the audience. Perfect way to start the day. Be still my heart.

Troy: The Director's Cut - There's at least one extra scene but mostly it's extensions to existing scenes with extra tolchocking of malchicks and unfortunate devotchkas in the fighting scenes. There's also an alternate version of the early scenes between "Paris" (huh!) and Helen, which is far more revealing of Diane Kruger than the theatrical version. The extensions aren't essential but I love this movie anyway and always like to have the longest cuts of historical epics. Just wish they'd let Paris play herself though. Don't get me wrong, I've nothing against Orlando Bloom and have enjoyed plenty of movies that feature his contributions. It's just... the bastard or bastard-ess of a casting director deprived me of scenes with the real Paris making out with Diane Kruger and I can't help thinking of what might have been (and Paris could have bragged about beating Brad Pitt in a fight afterwards *g*) :(

Anyway, I'll be trying to keep myself fairly sedate until Thursday. Just hope that Debster doesn't play her flamin' Eric Carmen loud!

Went out to Saltcoats today with me mate Shareen, as I had to visit the jobcentre to see my New Deal advisor (who proceeded to get me to apply for every job in the place!). On the way back home on the bus, a few things happened.

First we got to talking about our favourite Doctor Who stories since the show returned on 2005.

My Best:
1. Utopia 2. Dalek 3. The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances 4. The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit 5. Bad Wolf/The Parting Of The Ways

My Worst:
1. Voyage Of The Damned 2. Gridlock 3. Daleks In Manhattan/Evolution Of The Daleks 4. 42 5. Fear Her

That's my opinion and anyone who disagrees is just stoooo-pid ;)

Shareen's daft on David Tennant, even to the point of not liking Blink much 'cause he's not in it enough. She likes all the Paris-mas episodes best. I'm glad she likes The Runaway Bride better than Voyage Of The Damned though or I'd have so flattened her.

After that I was confusing people on the bus by asking "Will we do see Rose again?" which was good for a laugh and confused them all (obviously they haven't been to the Doctor Who Forum, which surprises me as there's always so many people online when I visit). Then there was this girl, right? And she starts on about how perfect a companion Martha is, and how she should be in more episodes, Donna's rubbish and there's no reason to bring Rose back! Of course, I had to hit her though, didn't I? And then she got her daft mates to us and we got thrown off the bus and had to walk home 'cause of all the moppets :( Still ain't bovvered though and I reckon me and Shareen could have taken them all on if we had Paris with us (but she wanted to be in Moscow instead). Still, it completely undermines someone's arguing abilities when the only way they can "win" is by getting their opponnents thrown off the bus. Sod it all anyway - me an' Shareen definitely rule!
