Sof wants me to write a blog (how many blogs I follow by people I know have started with some permutation of this sentence recently). I was thinking about what to write about, and it struck me that I pretty much literally just talk about work, which is LUDE. The problem is, I now don't know what to talk about.

Oh, I saw Alice in Wonderland the other day. It was (overall) awesome! I mean, I didn't really like the ending (Alice's 'freedom' means she becomes a capitalist, great) and the DANCING was problematic; I think I was also expecting more of a Tim-Burton-amazing-wow feeling, which I didn't really get. However, Helena was amazing - very who's Queen? - and Anne was superb. I think I laughed every time she came on screen. She was great. Also, it was my first 3D experience, and it was so amazing? It was nice feeling how I imagine it must have felt when colour film first came out. Wowee.

Also, on Saturday we went as a house to see Bjorn Again and it was a literal spectacle. We were at the front dancing VERY enthusiastically, and Agnetha kept singing at Ryan! Their performance was so fun - I was especially impressed with the women, because we were tired enough belting out the songs, and they had dance routines and everything on top of that. Afterwards we hung out outside with some other 'die-hard fans' (they were a lot older than us and we were somewhat hypocritically bothered by them) and then we met Agnetha (! ! !) who was very nice and said that our enthusiasm had given their performance more energy. WOW. Also, it was very apparent that she wasn't in fact Swedish and Ryan said a little plaintively, 'so you aren't from Sweden?' and she replied, 'no, I'm from Chesterfield!', and we all lolled, and she signed our tickets/ABBA money. Then we went to the Old Bar and discussed our glorious experience. It was really nice to spend time with everyone :o)
