Last night I was watching a terrible science-fiction horror thriller thing called "The Astronaut's Wife" from 1999. Johnny Depp starred as an astronaut who is out of contact with Earth for two minutes while repairing a damaged satellite. Charlize Theron plays his wife who notices strange alterations in his personality and behaviour when he returns. Her suspicions are increased after she becomes pregnant. It's basically a rip-off of "Rosemary's Baby". Neither scary nor thrilling, just slow and dull, except for a frankly ridiculous climax. It has loads of really weird camera angles, for no real reson. If you have ever wanted to see endless close-ups of Charlize Theron's bare feet, this is the film to see.

Today was an average day at work. Pretty slow. Most of the conversations centred around the usual gossip that flies around offices. Until I moved to that department I had no idea that this staid, dull company was such a hotbed of scandal and intrigue. Not that I have ever been involved in any of it, of course.

Tomorrow I was going to the cinema with my mum to see "Junebug", which actually looks like a very amusing film.

It's been three and a half years since the first (and last) time I have had a date. That's a depressing thought.

Dating is oft overrated...until you haven't been on one in a while. If I lived closer, we could totally go out on a friend date. You have a knack for choosing the best movies.

Thanks! That would be really great, if only we lived closer!

I wasn't too fond of "Astronaut's Wife." I bought it for about $10 when I was in the middle of my "Johhny Depp is the greatest man that ever lived" phase and even for $10, I still felt ripped off.

I've never actually dated... only had relationships with people who started out as friends. I really wouldn't recommend either as good venues for finding love. But that doesn't leave a lot of options, does it?

Someone was saying at work today actually that the trouble with dating is that there are no real "rules" for it. You just have to make it up as you go along.

I want to see Junebug. It does look so funny.

You should keep an eye out the next time you're at the cinema. See if there are any other single people (male and female) there. You could attempt to start a singles film club at your local cinema. You could all go, see a film, and go out afterwards for food and/or drink somewhere where you could discuss what you've just seen. Like a book club, but with film. Advertise for free on bulletin boards and such. Why not? If nothing else, you'll gain some new friends.

Thanks! That is a very good idea!

I think that you should definitely ask one of the people you like (I saw that you mentioned to [livejournal.com profile] lilwonder up there that you liked a couple of people) out on a date! What's the worst that could happen? They could say no (if they did...they'd be silly, because you are a great person!), but what if they say yes! Give it a shot. :-)

i agree with [livejournal.com profile] mir_leigh - you really should give it a shot and see what happens! you never know unless you give it a try. ^_^

and the film club idea that [livejournal.com profile] ga_the_impaler has is also a great one!
