Domesticity

Instead of leaving work at 6pm to attend a film preview last night, I went home instead, with a spring in my step and a curious but pleasureable sense of anticipation buzzing around inside my skull.

I have a flatmate now.

Last night saw us shop together, cook together and eat together - something I haven't done for more than six years, so it's quite a novelty. Then, while Mike fought his bedroom into an ordered state, I washed the dishes (don't tell my mum, she'd have a heart attack) before settling down to watch a few more episodes of the US TV series Heroes - showing here on Channel 7, but like most sane people I now watch episodes well in advance thanks to the internerd, with special thanks to fellow Fitzroyal, Simon, who's been supplying me with TV goodness. First Torchwood, now Heroes - where will it all end?!

While the show's dialogue is sometimes clunky, and as Mike pointed out the characters aren't always well-developed, I'm still finding the way the show unfolds, and its interconnected storyline, quite fascinating. Plus, hey, its about superheroes, so of course I'm watching it!

(Note to self - restrain from blathering about how cool the new Spiderman movie looks before you come across as sounding like a total geek.)
