I wont be seeing you for a long while...

Has anyone ever discovered a band via a Tesco's Florence and Fred advert before?? Thats how I've found Camera Obscura, who make some of the most achingly beautiful music I have ever heard. Look them up. Good call, Tescos...

So, I've been struck down with flu. Until afew hours ago, I hadnt left my bed for the best part of 36 hours. I'm all achy and hot and shaky and if it wasnt for the fact Katy still doesnt have a damn phone so I can only contact her via a computer, I would not be looking at this screen. It hurts my head. Yet here I am, blogging in the middle of a bout of flu. I must be mad.

Last night, after seeing the advert for it for weeks, Equilibrium was finally shown on Film4. I've been wanting to see that movie for so long, so I kept telling myself 'Just try and stay awake, close your eyes in the adverts, you'll get through it...' - the last thing I remember happening is those police type things who's faces are always covered by those helmet things finding the puppy in Prestons car. And then I woke up and it was today. I was really getting into it though, as much as I could with a high fever and a days worth of pain killers in my system, so I might just go out and buy it.

Today is the best I've felt all week, but the last 2 days I have just on/off slept all day long. In the hours I've been awake, all I've done is watch documentaries. There was one on Louise Woodward (remember her?), and it had been made in America. At one point, the narrator said 'Louise grew up in Elton, about 150 miles north of London'. So NOWHERE NEAR London then?! Honestly, it's like to America, England is London and then just a bunch of fields and countryside.

Anyways, Maury is on, so that's my cue to turn this thing off, get back into bed and find out what messed up American teenagers are being sent to Boot Camp this week.
