Slice of life - thoughts on almost absolutely everything

Welcome to my blog, in which I'll babble on about anything, especially things I like a lot - books, magazines, music (though probably not movies - see below). Oh, and I suppose that chocolate, indulgent cakes, and food and drink in general should really find a way into that list.

The other day I went to the movies for the first time in ages. I usually prefer to read, or perhaps watch a DVD at home on my (not very) wide screen TV. W hich doesn't sound like much fun, I admit, but the problem is I can't sit still for long. In fact, 10 minutes is about the best I can do. And whereas books can be bookmarked, and DVDs paused or even forgotten completely, cinemas force you to sit still and try to concentrate.

I'd fall asleep if I dared, but I'm always afraid that I'll snore, or twitch, or fall into someone's lap, dribbling. So these days I never go the cinema to actually watch a movie.
I go to indulge in a genuine popcorn moment; or to enjoy putting my drink into the cup-holder then taking it out again. Or wondering when the movie will finish.
