Radiohead - Paranoid Android

This week I've actually done something other than sit around on the internet all day/night listening to music. I went to see Candice on Tuesday - Friday and we went shopping to Southampton and then Basingstoke. I had a lovely time, nice and relaxing and a much needed break from the monotonous, shitheap that is Coleford.

Anyway, I spent, including money for travel and food, somewhere around 200 quid.
I bought:
2 zip-up hoodies (one light grey, the other a camo green)
a plain camo green t-shirt
a white t-shirt with 'Osaka 6' written on it (I don't know what it means but it looks FIT)
two pairs of jeans
a pair of khaki/camo shorts
a pair of three quarter length trousers
a studded belt
At the Drive In - Relationship of Command CD
Radiohead - The Bends CD
Radiohead - OK Computer CD
Man on Fire DVD
Collateral DVD
Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk (BOOK)
Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk (BOOK)
High Fidelity by Nick Hornby (BOOK)
a pair of white Adidas Superstar trainers. For I am a superstar. Yeah.

I haven't read in aaages but I bought some books because we went in a book shop and I fancied getting back into reading again. I finished Invisible Monsters last night (amazingly, I read it in two days) and was rather impressed, although the story relied quite heavily on coincidence and stuff but it was really well told and written. I recommend it! I bought the other Palahniuk book because it was in some 3 for 2 deal and Candice had two books so I got one free, ta like! I bought High Fidelity because I recently got the DVD and liked it so much I wanted to read the book. Both Radiohead CD's were a FIVER each and Man on Fire was ONE POUND. Bargains ahoy! I bought the other CD and DVD because they were cheapish and I like them both.

I bought the green t-shirt and two hoodies from the same shop. I paid the combined total of 30 odd quid for the three items. Later, when we got home, I checked the receipt to see that the woman who served me only put the t-shirt through so I paid 3 quid for three things! I was rather pleased with that.

Also, when I bought my belt, I paid the 15 quid price tag with two five pound notes and five pound coins. The boy gave me a fiver back which I thought was odd. So being the good samaritan and all round top bloke I am, I went back and told him of his error and handed the fiver back. Aren't I nice?

We watched Just my Luck, the film with McFly in, and it was balls. We also ate lots of fast food which was BRILLIANT. And there was lots of laughing and cuddles which was awesome.

Today, I watched Pirates of the Carribean 2. It was quite entertaining although peaked early with the best part of the film happening so soon (the part on the cannibal island). It was a bit too long too and Orlando Bloom was incredibly wooden, as was Keira Knightley but she did improve as the film went on. Johnny Depp was mint as the camp pirate Jack Sparrow again. The special effects were rather impressive too.

I can't be bothered to write anymore.

Oh, I'm working more shifts next week which is good so I can earn back all the money I spent this week. Hooray.
