Yet another fab b3ta production. Yay. A truly audio-visual experience for when you're in need of cheering up.

The Film Fantastic with Bill Murray

If you've yet to see The Life Aquatic on DVD, then try to find the time to do so: it's great for so many reasons.

Quarter Century

That's it. On Tuesday I hit 25. OK, so I'm still only 19 in hexadecimal (GEEK), but that's not the point. Twenty five is a big deal. I was only sixteen last time I checked.

Thankfully the day was surrounded by fun stuff, like shopping in Wimbledon on Monday with lunch at Tapanco and my first trip to the rather cool UNIQLO. Dinner was at Zinfandel which was nicely deserted and a great setting for a drawn out 2-person, 2-bottles-of-wine meal. My actual birthday was spent in Guildford, having lunch at the excellent Loch Fyne Restaurant after a lazy morning of sleep-depriving birthday text messages and card/present opening.

On Saturday I'm having the actual party at which I shall be behaving myself, seeing as I'm now a mature adult. Snigger.

Classic Minge Time.

Extras

I managed to catch most of tonight's episode of Extras, and although it didn't provide the same sort of entertainment as the Office (which no doubt everyone compares it too, but it is difficult to come close) I really enjoyed the way Les Dennis sent himself up, and made some fantastic comments about how Graham Norton does not use intelligent humour but instead relies on both cheap innuendo and shameless references to homosexual antics for pure shock value. Reminds me of when I had to endure a "comedy act" from Julian Clary as part of "Live at the Apollo" hosted by Jack Dee back on 6th July. At least the other two acts were hillarious: Lee Mack (stand up only, no urinal scene) and some mad Irish guy.

Ceroc So Rocks

On Monday 13th June I went to my first Ceroc lesson at The Grand, Clapham. It was great fun, and although I haven't managed to go each week I've been to 4 beginner classes now and may even move up to the intermediates tomorrow if I feel daring enough. Well worth a try with a few friends unless you have two left feet. Or no feet.
