Yesterday was a really, really long day. The Dad gave me a lift to the station, so I caught the 6.30am train, and the 6.55am bus, and got to work at 7.45am. Managed to get a bucket load of contracts written up, then took a bus to the suboffice for the afternoon where...I bitched with my boss about the lack of work flow in our various offices, heh. I was going to stay at work until 5 so that I wouldn't have to hang around in P for an hour, but I left at 4, went home, dumped the files I was carrying, and got offered a lift by The Dad! Apparently he also gave The Sister a lift to work earlier in the day. I am beginning to wonder if this is some sort of reaction to our plans falling through on Thursday because he told us The Mother would drive us, and then she was in a mood because she had to walk back and we pushed our plans to Friday because no-one would take us. (That or: it's a significant anniversary. Maybe. I don't know.) Anyway. A lift!

Anyway, went to see Inception with The Sister. Loved it. Movie was made for me on many, many levels - narrative, action, concept, everything. Am tempted to go this morning and see it again. (No, really.)

Things I need to do this morning: post to the Spooks comm; beta a fic; make a super-vague outline for my femgen entry for which I have the vaguest of vague plot ideas, and which will probably end up completely different.

Speaking of Spooks, I'm going to rewatch 5x01 and 5x02, mostly because I never have, and also because the genesis of Rosalind Myers is a pretty important starting point if you're going to be writing about her.

To conclude: have a video of Tom Hardy! Everyone needs to see his interview on Jonathan Ross. He's pretty wry and at times self-deprecating. At about 4.20 in the second part, JR starts asking him - in a really awful way, I think, because it's clear Hardy is uncomfortable - about his wild halcyon days, and there's a bit of humorous muscling, and then he shuts down for a moment when the audience applauds (around 5.20). And other times he's pretty hilarious. Fucking interesting guy.

I loved Inception! I'm normally not a big Leonardo DiCaprio fan, but that movie was brilliant. And such a good cast!

The genesis of Ros is epic. The plot line for the episodes was a bit rubbish, and I did want to stab Adam, but Ros was the highlight. She confronts Harry viciously, oh gosh. And thus the relationship begins. :D

Tom Hardy! I did see that interview, and he sort of seemed on edge the entire time to me. But he's lovely too. Speaking of him (since I'm giving this rec to everyone atm) have you ever seen Stuart, a Life Backwards? He's brilliant in it. It is quite sad, but I genuinely loved it.
