• Drinking: Hop Back Red Devil Ale, Highgate Highland Whiskey Ale
• Watching: Broken Flowers, Ghost In The Shell 2
• Listening: Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken? - Lloyd Cole & the Commotions

Looking forward to Wetherspoon’s Autumn Beer Festival, really enjoyed watching Broken flowers, lost something important.

It is definitely taking me longer to recover from a night of drinking. This time not even heavy drinking. Four pints of beer (ale actually) and a relatively healthy curry seems to have wiped out my Saturday morning. Anyway I watched a Japanese animated movie called ‘Tokyo Godfathers‘ on DVD which was pretty unusual and well worth the £7 (yes, I’m a big spender). It’s the sort of film that could easily be made with actors, but just works really well with realistic background illustrations and character drawn anime. The story is of three homeless people: a transsexual former nightclub singer, a washed-up bicycle store owner, and a runaway girl who stabbed her father find a baby and go to great lengths to find it’s mother. I’m definitely going to have to recommend this.
