The Force is strong with this one!

So me and Henry finally got to see Star Wars VII The Force Awakens at our local Odeon.  Truly it was Star Wars day for Henry since as well as the film he watched five episodes of the Clone Wars, as well as the introductory film, and wore his Storm-trooper outfit all day. To say he was a little excited would be an understatement.

Henry quote of the day, as the film suddenly came to an end “OH! I’m going to have to wait two years for the next one!” 🙂

The film was absolutely amazing. I loved it and so did Henry 🙂

So result 😀

Nearly there

Well I’ve officially destressed from the day job. Took four days, which is right given the level of nonsense going on at the moment (short version currently being restructured with a good 30% redundancies).

Now getting the family Christmas sorted, as well as chilling out to a bunch of Chinese Hong Kong Action movies after hours (aka Kung Fu Christmas). Oh and me and a very excited Henry are off to see the new Star Wars film this afternoon 🙂

Aliens is the best CHRISTMAS FILM EVAR!!!

Aliens is the classic Christmas Film, not Die Hard as some people have erroneously

Hidden in the subliminal Occult Layer (only properly exposed in the 5:1 surround sound Blu-ray release) of the film, it’s a modern critique of the futility of the Christian Christmas (as symbolically represented by the Marines – each of whom are an analogy of the different sects of that religion) faced with the merciless onslaught of Consumerism (the Aliens) and need to return to ancient pre-flood Midwinter celebrations (where it was Pyramids not Trees that were erected OUTSIDE the house for obvious reasons) via the vector of BIG FUCKING GUNS! 😛

So 44

Had a lovely birthday yesterday.

Took the day off to look after the kids, who are on half-term, and they were lovely all day. Mum came round this morning and I talked the hind legs off a donkey since I was in very high spirits 🙂

Kids presented home made cards, Evie made a cake and we all played Disney Infinity 3.0 (a console game which comes with figures, and this version is Star Wars!) . Rach was asleep most of the day, due to her being between night shifts (boo), but when she got up there was glow sticks  and a quick live action version of Tom and Jerry (both courtesy of Evie and Henry).

Rounded off the day by watching the second episode of Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle, and after a quick nod off the rather excellent first episode of Fargo Season 2. followed by a quick spot of blogging while listening to the Best of Chet Baker (Cool 🙂 )
