In about an hour, I will head over to St. Cross for bell ringing practice. Meanwhile, I have a bit of spare time, which shall be devoted to an entry on nothing in particular!
Random the First: I am thrilled to announce that, at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wolfpeach's punting party on Sunday, I acquired my first 1p and 2p coins with the new designs on the reverse. I fully realise that caring about this makes me a dork, but that's okay! I also realise that I have a full uncirculated set of the new coins from the Royal Mint... but finding the ordinary ones is fun, too! To celebrate, I reorganised my coin collection. Don't look so surprised -- I did confess to being a dork!
Random the Second: I am delighted to announce, before I forget to do so, thatcheshcat and I watched Batman Begins on Sunday evening, then drove to Birmingham after work on Monday to see The Dark Knight on the IMAX screen. I will freely admit that seeing it on the enormous screen does make a big difference... especially the scenes that were specially shot with IMAX cameras, rather than being simply adapted from ordinary film. It was good to watch the movies again, back to back; I continue to be impressed with the most recent Batman movie franchise. I cut my teeth on Batman -- my second favourite comic book character -- under Denny O'Neil's long editorial reign (1986 - 2000) and fully embrace his version of the hero. As such, these movies were really spot-on! Nice work! (And anyone who liked Heath Ledger's version of the Joker should hurry out to a comic shop to pick up Alan Moore's 1988 classic: The Killing Joke)
Random the Fourth: I have the cutest -- and most energetic! -- little kitten! He is omnipresent, simultaneously occupying all parts of Skullcrusher Mountain at once. He is also utterly adorable! Last night, as I wrote the previous entry, he sat on the back of the couch and ate my hair... then relaxed with his paws on my shoulder!
Random the Fifth: I am proud to announce that -- thanks to the lovelylunarbitch and the powers vested in her -- I have been upgraded from the Chia Pet Of Love to the One True Chia Pet Of Love! I am honoured and humbled by this distinction. I am also humbled by the big whomping tackle hug that accompanied the pronouncement!
And that, my friends, is all the news of the day!

(By the other way, did I mention how utterly delicious you are when you are being random? I absolutely love that you share my tendency towards the sublimely ridiculous! *wink*)

Although I managed to stifle the urge*, my co-workers are used to me randomly breaking out into song. It amuses them, usually.

Excellent! I tend to do the same thing! Not too much at work... but just about everywhere else! Don't know how
It drives others (like [info]lunarbitch) crazy!
Bonus! *evil smile*
(I will remember that for the next time I see her! Heh...)
Which, of course, just makes me want to do it more.
Of course!! I do so like the way you think, my dear!

And seriously...The Dark Knight is incredible on IMAX. I am honestly very happy I waited and just saw it in the format. I am also enjoying this most recent Batman movie franchise. And, are you saying you don't like Heath as the Joker or you do?

Er, you are going to be at the usual play this October, yes? Hard enough only getting one dose of Ms. Redcat a year -- wouldn't want to get even less than that! Might start showing withdrawal symptoms, y'know? ;-)
Oh, and while we're on the subject of my hair and the Super-Sekrit October Gathering... were you there in 2003, the year of the 70's prom dance? The year that I had my hair brushed out into the afro used in the icon for this post?
