We decided to go from posh West London drinks to gritty East London KFC afterwards, where Ee and Cait rather disappointingly ordered measly bits of Hot Wings and a Zinger Burger. Sigh, I say, if you want to do the whole KFC thing, you should just go for the classic Original Recipe Fried Chicken and Fries. Me? I had KFC vouchers in my car, so it turned out to be 4 pieces of chicken and 2 portions of chips because it was a one-for-one offer. 4 pieces of chicken later, and I am feeling slightly sick. Definitely cant wait to be cleared to start hitting the gym again. 2 months of inactivity have made me slightly heavier I think...
Oh, and I also caught Avatar this afternoon - it was wicked! Storyline was a bit disappointing (OK. I actually thought that there was no storyline), but to be honest, the storyline was quite irrelevant I thought. I actually thought that the movie was a cross between the storylines of Pocahontas (the love triangle, and the idea of a settler switching sides after falling in love with his cultural guide), any of Reymond E. Feist's novels (the concepts of being one with the forest and mind-linking with dragons) and Al Gore's An Incovenient Truth (the subtext of needing to be more appreciative of our natural environment).
But bah! The show could have been a romantic comedy, and the movie would still have been impressive because of the 3-D effects. Ok, maybe not a romantic comedy, but you catch my drift. Nonetheless, it was beautiful - the easiest 3 hour movie that I have sat through. Even Lord of the Rings left me slightly tired and wanting to stretch my legs towards the end. Even when nothing significant was happening on-screen, I was quite happy to just let my eyes wander and take in the landscape. Like I said, the storyline didn't really matter for a movie like this one...
So there we go, it's back to work tomorrow now, and back to the London grind...finally! =)
