So, how did I spend the day of lurve? Were various options;
* The usual? - continue the slow decline into alcoholism, loneliness and Pot Noodles - though as it's a 'special' day may be instead treat myself to something from the 'Tesco Finest' range...
* The proactive? - form a self help with Regretful Loners, SADFABs and SINBADs, hire a local community centre and talk it out...
* The reflective? - wonder what the male equivalent of the 'mad scary woman who lives with a lot cats' is and think 'well, that may be not so bad after all'...
;-)
Fear not, 'twas none of the above - I opted for a couple of hours of escapism and I headed to the movies.
As a big fan of Spaced - one of the best TV comedies in decades - I've been looking forward to the new Simon Pegg film, Hot Fuzz, for a while. It did not disappoint, absolutely superb. It does for buddy cop movies (complete with their homoerotic undercurrent) what the excellent Shaun of the Dead did for zombie films - it is both a wonderful spoof and a loving homage.
Not sure I can ever again wander down the high street of Wells - a beautiful cathedral city where a lot of it was filmed - and look at it in quite the same way again.
