A short update:

• Eastenders actually managed to redeem itself yesterday. I had seen a clip from the episode while my nephew was here without actually watching it, of Michael telling his dad he was trying to remind him "he had another son", which seemed to be going along with what the people on Digital Spy had said. But it turned out when I watched it that he was actually talking about Anthony (the younger brother who loooooooves him), and even being sort of protective in a detached, psychotic sort of a way. And Michael was still messed up over his mum, and they adequately showed his dad to be the sort of cunt he always seemed to me to be. So yay, really.
  
  It was still weird though. I hadn't watched Tuesday's episode either, so I watched them both together last night, and...the script. It's hard to even describe. One episode included the line, and I quote, "This...this is a hug. You know, when you hold on tight to someone, as tight as you can." APROPOS OF NOTHING. Apropos of Michael's dad telling his girlfriend it was the anniversary of his first wife's suicide. Just after another new character swanned in, went up to a regular character with the annulment papers for his arranged marriage to her sister, and then immediately demanded his wedding ring, so she could sell it. Oh Eastenders. You crazy idiot.



• I had so much trouble with buses today, so much trouble you wouldn't believe it. I would have a rant about it if could be bothered, but suffice to say, it would be REALLY helpful if buses actually put on the front of themselves where they were actually going. REALLY REALLY helpful.



• But on the plus side, Becky was in tonight's Coronation Street. ( Little spoilers )



• Also, I saw Cowboys and Aliens and forgot to mention it. Mainly, it was an okay film, but a bit blah, kind of good in some ways and kind of terribly issuey in others. But mainly, Paul Dano baby. Oh yeah.

I made myself get up a bit early yesterday and didn't get a lot of sleep last night, and now I just feel kind of tired and sick. BUT, I am still drinking a bottle of cherry coke tonight, as I normally do on Fridays, and I have to get up tomorrow. So that should make tonight and tomorrow morning fun. Hurray.
