That Deaf, Dumb and Blind Kid....

I watched Tommy last Thursday. It was absolutely awesome. In my life so far, i've considered Evita and Little shop of horrors to be great film musicals. Ok, Tommy is a rock opera but as films-with-music-in are concerned Tommy has wee wee'd all over them from a great height.

I dare say that The Who's musical input is what makes it. It made sense of why i liked pinball wizard so much, it clicked that it was Elton john (who rocked in his day) backed by the who. Quite a rockin' combo.

The film has left me with a couple of feelings i just cant shake off. i know im going to have to watch it again to exorcise these. I've told everyone in my house (at least the ones that are'nt annoying me right now) that we to watch it saturday night while high on my special biscuits.

went out with Mireille on Friday night. Mireille is a bit odd, i dont get her.

She quite clearly wanted to go out. i told her i was'nt planning on going out but maybe would if she could rally the troops. she then rang me so that i would ask her if she wanted to go out AND she already knew that others wouldnt be available to go out anyway.

Anyhoo, i dragged paul out (he smoked that night, im still winning at not smoking) to lamp to meet mireille. at about twelve mireille piped up "so, were not going to spiders then" in a "i want to go to spiders" kind of way. suffice to say we ended up in spiders, entirely on mireille's whim i feel.
Nobody can say no to her, its because she's too nice. The fact that she's too nice makes it impossible to tell her anything that might be considered real (for want of a better word).
i think she should be told that she is attractive, and intelligent and worth having around and it would be nice to get annoyed at her but cant. Ultimately, i just dont know how much of people and the world she understands. Thats why i dont get her, yet at the same time it makes her so intirguing. A puzzle i'd like to solve.

before i leave i'd like to mention the fact that the Gadget Shop has gone into Administration. We're all a bit worried around these parts, especially regarding our jobs. i think abandoning this sinking ship is the only way....
