Yeah, they predicted up to 16°C for Wednesday next week. It was dark and rainy today.

I like this one as it takes my original idea and makes a little more grounded

I wanted mine to take place on a beach even though logically a movie with an evil shower curtain shouldn't take place there 

I thought a bit of "structure" would make it a tiny bit more cinematic. Nothing against your original concept, it is very trippy and weird haha

I retuyrned to my birthplace (not really hometown, since I moved away when I was still a baby) of Louisville almost 20 years ago, to be near my family. It's... OK. Not a place I would choose to live if I could select anyplace in the world, but it's nice to have friends and family nearby and it has most of the conveniences of a city.

A couple of crap nights at work. Nothing specific wrong, just lots of stupid people doing stupid crap to deal with. Feeling short-tempered with it all, but managing to keep a pleasant face on and deal with people appropriately.

Still, I get to watch lots of bad movies at work, so it's not all bad. Three hours to go. The Avatar gig was a bust. The friend I was going with messaged me while I was halfway to Glasgow to let me know he couldn't make it. The second time he's done that to me when he's not had the money, and I've bought him a ticket, or given him one I've had spare. If he'd given me more notice, I could have given his ticket to someone else. Anyway, I felt too p**sed off to go to it by myself, figuring I'd end up starting a fight when I was in that much of a foul mood, so I had a couple of beers then spent the night in my hotel room before heading back home the next day. Walking around Glasgow felt odd too. I've never lived anywhere long enough to consider it home, but Glasgow is where I was born. If I have a hometown, then I guess that is it. Walking around it, though this time I just felt out of place and uncomfortable. Several years ago, I determined that once my mum dies, I'd never willingly return to the town I grew up in, as I'd have no reason to go back. Maybe I should just extend that to the whole West Coast area where I grew up.

I was wondering what it would be like for me to go back to Gweru, Zimbabwe where I grew up. I think that Mugabe and his comrades have largely destroyed the country so.... 😔

I generally feel (with a few exceptions) that where you've been isn't as important as where you are going. We all had to start somewhere and none of us get to choose that place.

We're actually getting snow flurries now, but springlike temperatures are predicted for next week, thankfully.

A 4-disc set (!). I only listened to about half of it, will probably check out the rest later.

TOTAL RECALL isn't bad at all, especially for an Arnold vehicle. It's based on a story by Philip K. Dick and co-written be the great Dan O'Bannon (RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, ALIEN).
