If I should fall from grace again

Deanes Deli on Bedford Street (at the corner of Clarence Street and Bedford Street) — not the restaurant Deli but the deli Deli — do the best sandwich in all of Belfast. It’s the rib roast boyo, words can’t paint the nessary picture but if a sandwich could sing, this one would be Handel’s Messiah on Christmas Eve.

This week a hot girl has started getting my train, actually, she got on my train once, then I took the executive decision that getting the all stopper past Carnalea would be good for my health, nothing to do with that being her stop and my usual train flies past an 70mph. Glances have been exchanged, smiles, the usual low level public transport exchange, just enough to get you interested but not enough to convince you she just doesn’t think your hair sticky-up-bed-head-hair is funny or that she’s short-sighted and is really just smiling to herself about last night with her boyfriend (hate him already). I bet her boyfriend is some Porcshe driving Campbell bufty with the imagination of a toad. What is it with women and the men they pick? They seem to have some genetic attraction to the complete bastards of the male species, and then they spend the rest of thier lives saying all men are bastards…
Anyway, hot girl on train, I think my one chance with her has been blown, there was an opportunity to talk but I froze and the moment past. I am Mr Singularly Incapable of Carpe Diem. Robin Williams would expel me from his English class. (He’d have to, it’d be against his better judgement but he’d have to.) Imagine if she read this, I’d be cut to the onion.

One final thing… Gnarls Barklay ‘Craxy’, that’s what you’ll all be grovving to, then getting sick of, in the next year. Trust me.

• 300†
  Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it.
• Little Miss Sunshine†
  Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way.
• Laputa: Castle in the Sky†
  Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool.
• Porco Rosso†
  Stylish, funny, exciting.
• Grave of the Fireflies†
  Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good.
• Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind†
  The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging.
• X-Men: The Last Stand†
  Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.
