1 Addiction Satisfied, Another Begins
OK, so I reached absolute breaking point today. I knew that I was going to see the Matrix Reloaded at 4.40pm, but by about 1 I was really, really excited. And christ, did that film not disappoint! It is my new favourite film ever. It had action, a great plot, sex, swearing, comedy and it was just, well, The Matrix. Some of the best action scenes in the history of cinema are in this film, and the plot was developed to a somewhat different level. And yes, the ending will make you groan, becuase you realise that you have to wait until November to see Revolutions, the third in the trilogy. And if that wasn't enough, they tease you even more by showing a trailer for Revolutions after the credits. Damn them, damn them all. Now I'm going to get all excited about seeing that film, but I've got 6 months of build-up yet. At least in the meantime there is....
BIG BROTHER!!! I am addicted to this show already, and it's only been going for 4 hours, of which I've watched nearly 3. I know I'm very sad, but I just love this programme. I missed the first 2 going into the house, but I've watched it fairly constantly since... Here begins my summer addiction. My money's on Ray or Cameron to win, they seem like cool guys. Stupid, stupid endemol for coming up with the Big Brother concept. Do they not realise how my social life is going to be destroyed?!
I even rang my mum up straight after the launch show to talk about it with her. She was totally addicted to BB2 and 3, just like I was, so I knew she'd be watching. We're very, very sad people, but so sue us. Look at it this way: at least it's not pornography.
Speaking of which, I'm currently reading Porno by Irvine Welsh, and I am completely engrossed in it. Every time I pick it up, it takes me about half a page to slip bak into the Edinburgh vernacular, but as soon as I've got it in my head, I find myself thinking with a heavy Scottish accent for the rest of the day. Not handy when you read it whilst eating your breakfast...
