Saw Toxic Avenger at DCA last night (funny and entertaining). When we came out we bumped into some people Drew knows. This morning Facebook is suggesting one of those people as a friend. The only person in common is Drew. Odd. Are Facebook using proximity now?

On a bus & honestly, people!! Old lady painting her nails with the stinkiest nail varnish, woman in front having a phonecall on speaker (with someone she'd labelled Slut) & people had to ask her to turn it down twice, & there's a girl 4 rows back who has a voice like Mickey Mouse & hasn't shut up!

Just finished watching Thunderbolts. Really liked it! I loved the dry humour and it was overall a great message. The effect of the people being sucked into the darkness was striking - really cool!

Uh...how romantic?!
