Except the evil blond henchman - he was not only crap, but also a blatant ripoff of characters from other westerns. Like, stereotyped crazy sadistic henchman - check!

Mar. 18th, 2004 04:24 pmWell, today's slowly taken a turn for the better. I found a pink enamel watering can at BigW for 2 quid - I can use that for my seeds. And a hot water bottle for my stomach cramps.
Plus I got myself some jeans, so I can pass on the "falling down" ones.
I think everyone's a bit down at the moment. I got a revelation when I found someone at work in floods of tears at her desk. I always had her down as a bit hard-hearted and over-exacting. Turns out she witnessed quite a bad fight on the way to work, and had got really shook up by it. Poor cow :( I made her a cuppa and patted her on the back in a very British fashion.
It was weird though - I would always have assumed she was way tougher than me. Physical violence doesn't rattle me. But then I think I'm just immune, maybe, desensitised in some way. You do just zone out. It doesn't affect you, you become numb. It's not a good thing, and it's not something I'm proud of. I think it's fixing itself though.
Oh well - on more cheerful areas, I'm going to take my polyanthus home from work. It hates it here (understandably ;)), and has lost all its flowers, so it's going to live in the front flower bed :)
