In which I am stronger than the burger cravings

[selenay]

Last night, I had serious cravings for a burger. A specific burger. It was really so incredibly tempting to take myself out for the burger. However, I was strong! I was an adult! I ate the planned healthy supper from the menu and did not eat the burger!

Sometimes it sucks being adult.

I used logic on myself. Tomorrow I see Awesome GI Guy. Hopefully he'll be able to confirm that the Humira is starting to work. Do I really want to treat myself to an evil burger and risk not feeling great just before seeing Awesome GI Guy? No! So I shall be strong and wait. If Awesome GI Guy gives me good news (I haven't had good news for a while, I think I'm due some) then at the end of the week there will be burger-like treats. While I know that the burger probably wouldn't make me ill, why take the risk? And why not then use it as the reward if I get good news?

Oh, I am being so grown up over this. Damn.

I had a lovely relaxing evening, going for a nice (yet incredibly windy) walk by the ocean and then eating my healthy supper before curling up with Edward III for a while. Then I watched an episode of State of Play before going for an early night, due to poor sleeping the last couple of nights and the resultant zombie!Sel.

I slept beautifully. Only woke up once. And felt so incredibly tired when I woke up that I'm even more zombie!Sel than yesterday. Argh *gnashes teeth* My body, it is crazy.

However, State of Play! I remembered it being utterly brilliant when I first saw it and now that I'm re-watching, it is even better. They could seriously never make it again. The cast list reads like a who's who of amazing British actors and this was kind of the break-out production for many of them. Bill Nighy, John Simm, Phil Glenister (I'd forgotten he was in it!), James McCavoy, David Morrissey, Marc Warren...it's utterly insane just how good the cast are. And then there's the writing and...

Yeah, if you've only seen the Hollywood remake then you need to watch the BBC original. It is utterly brilliant.

10 days to go!

Just placed a hole on the BBC version at the library! I'm not a big Russell Crowe fan, so had never bothered to see that one. But the cast list for the BBC original version does sound much more appealing!

Yay! It's really incredibly good. I haven't been able to watch the re-make because I couldn't figure out how in heck Russell Crowe could play the John Simm role. It was just all too wrong.

Not to mention they put Ben Affleck in it. Argh.

And how they cut it to a two hour movie without losing half the plot...

The BBC version is brilliant :-)
