Paving Stones On The Road To Hell

Posted on January 14, 2008

Although every year seems to start with a burst of mad enthusiasm, ruthless organising, and a goody two-shoes zeal for healthy living, invariably by the second week, I’m sitting on the sofa watching a surprisingly good Dean Stockwell film about killer cockroaches, wondering if it’s too late in the evening to open a bottle of wine.

Some people manage to do – you know – Stuff all the time. Running businesses, writing music, leaving the house between Friday night and Monday morning. Then again, I bet they couldn’t name anything like as many Hammer films as I can.

I’ve tried setting goals but that doesn’t seem to work. So far, my “three posts per week” blog resolutions is a resolute failure but i’m blaming that on my life swinging from madbusy, to “too knackered to be arsed doing anything” because of being madbusy.

Also because looking up “cockroaches” on the Electric Interweb to see if they really CAN fly feels like a productive thing to me.

    Don’t like the sound of killer cockroaches, but it’s never too early for wine.

    I wish I could remember the name of the film – it was a rubbish little z-feature about a lad who moved into an apartment swarming with cockroaches, who became his best mates. Offered loads of good advice, did a very nice song and dance routine, and helped him get the girl of the dreams in the end – aw, bless! I HATED cockroaches before that film, and am still amazed I managed to watch it.
