No chiropractors, no books under monitor, don't feel like crap, staving... Getting blood sucked at 11am.

Wanted to sleep in since I can't eat this morning but our cats decided to start playing at sunrise.

At least I turned it into a productive morning and created this poster that gets printed today.

NEED FOOD!!!

OK, so every year I try to get in the Christmas mood, I really do. I put up decorations, drink expensive port, and generally try to be happy and smiley at the made up birthday of Jesus Christ. And I usually succeed for a while..........Then Christmas shopping starts. Yesterday was OK, as it involved some online shopping and a short reconnaissance mission to an electrical store to see what sort of prices blu ray players go for. But today I started the serious "going to real shops and getting throughly pissed off" work. This year I sank to a new low. Toys R Us. I don't know if it is the same in the US but the staff in my local Toys R Us are genuinely the biggest waste of oxygen I have ever been "served" by. I spoke to four staff while looking for presents for my niece and nephew. They knew nothing and cared even less. I am not exaggerating when I say; in the days when I used to run my own shops, if they had been working for me I would have fired three of them on the spot, and given the fourth a serious warning.

What you were on "Nil by mouth" and you decided to work on an advert for food? What are you, a masochist?

There ain't enough

in the world to make me work standing up. At film school I was told that the best film editors remain standing while working. Decided then and there to never edit my own movies!

Looking at a big burnt hunk of dead cow flesh will pretty much kill any desire for me to eat, but the donuts at the doctor's office was cruel.
