If everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey, what are you not telling me?

I can't sleep, despite the knowledge that I know I'll be tired as a dog at work tomorrow for staying up. So here are a collection of random thoughts and reviews.

1) "Downfall" - The German film about Hitler's last days in the bunker. Terrifying, yet fascinating to watch. It's like a nest of dragons feeling sorry for themselves, and you're a fly on the wall of their cave. Hitler fascinates me. What could drive a man to such ends? I don't suppose I'll ever know.

2) "Revenge of the Sith" - Probably the most exciting of the Star Wars films, though by the end my eyes were hurting from watching all the lightsabers flicker by. Some excellent moments (Chancellor Palpatine tempting Anakin to the dark side, Yoda uncloaked) coupled with some abhorrant moments ("NNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!", "Anakin, you're breaking my heart!").

3) I-pod Shuffle - I'm getting one for free and I'm not shooting any bunnies. Apparently if you switch an existing chequing account with a direct deposit to TD, they just give you an ipod shuffle. Stay tuned for when I learn about the horrible catch! Ipods are one of those things that I would gladly accept if they were free or a gift, but would never buy. Well, if I end up not liking it I can give it to Jay.

4) Jenny Hazelton - Funniest person ever. Her MST-3000 prowess during Revenge of the Sith tonight had me in stitches. ("Well, there goes the Oscar.")

5) The guy at the movies tonight - He came up to me at the urinal and said "So I hear this is where all the pricks hang out." I told him that was a terrible joke, and he said "Yeah, but am I right?" So I said "Yeah, I've gotta give you that," and started towards the sink when I heard him say "You cocksucking asshole." In a bemused kind of way I told him not to get nasty to which he replied "I said it to myself," which I guess clears him of all charges.

6) Sleep - Sleep is hard to do. It's evading me like nipples avoid the papparazzi; As I let my guard down, sleep will be all over me. But unlike nipples, my picture won't be posted on the internet. Unless the internet represents my bed.
