no power

had a day off work today and it was good because i got some stuff done that had been hanging around for weeks and weeks. went to the gym last weekend and was training like a beast. a few weeks back i missed a couple of my mid week sessions and it means by the time saturday comes round i have not trained in 5 days and you lose resistance, but i have been forcing myself to go on a wednesday or thursday night and i am feeling the benefits of it. training like a beast on the weekends. 

work is going ok as well. the guy who is a policeman said something telling on friday. he has to go to one of the international offices for a week next week and he mentioned that he had to leave his police id behind because there was some rule that said you can not take it when you are going to another country. he then added "i will have no power next week". after my post a few weeks ago, it proves my theory

bought a new book today about andrei sakharov. its been a while since i read a good biography and he is a man i have heard interesting things about. 

dan le sac v scroobius pip are playing a show later this month but its sold out. they are touring and playing in february in camden. am thinking i might go to it. will need to make my mind up soon as i bet they will sell out quickly. 

this is fierce.

oldboy

i signed my new 6 month contract about a week ago and it will take me up to april 2014 hopefully. the other job that was paying ridiculous money did not come through so no bother. have had a couple of other calls about other contracts but i turned them down. i focused on doing a good job where i am and i dont want the distraction. besides, there is no reason to leave for a little more money or the same money. 

weather has been surprisingly mild but this afternoon it changed and there was a cold wind blowing when i was walking home from the station. summer has gone and it wont be back for a very long time. there is 6 months of darkness and cold ahead of us. fuck, what a depressing thought. just need to take it one week at a time. 

spike lee has made a remake of a korean film called oldboy. the original film is very very good and has a bit of a twist to it. i do wonder if they will have the same twist. i cant really see mainstream audiences and big studios going for it. the trailer has josh brolin in it which looks like a very good bit of casting. will check it out when it comes out.
