Spanners

I have a finely tuned or sometimes sporidically tuned diary system which enables me to work out what days i do my visits in the most time efficient manner. Then like a tightly sprung clock the occasional unforeseen spanner in the works throughs everything into chaos. Such was the oversubscribed course, being the proverbial spanner. Snap!

So i am having to think hard and fast on what days i will do these visits yet to be completed, and having that journey next week to Sussex for a few days. Financially a bit constrained as well, and waiting a payment for a CD i sold on Ebay that is worth a tenner.Next major payments not due to being next Wednesday and Friday.

I have picked up another exit survey for Saturday for three hours work at fifty quid in Strood, but earlier times than the Hythe one. Thank goodness. Means a reasonable time back home.

I am still trying to fathom out why some people are such bigoted misanthropes vis-à-vis the vitriol that rubyelf received the other day. Such dorks are pathetic in my book. Anyhow, it is a sunny mild day outside and one in which it is best not to be stuck indoors.

Put Some Trousers ON!

Talk about the life of Riley but do you have to expose yourself so much, lol.

Crash

Was going to go out today but decided to watch a DVD from a pile of them obtained from my mystery shop viists.The film was Crash starring Sandra Bullock and Matt Dillon.

Crash is a 2004 ensemble drama film co-written, produced, and directed by Paul Haggis. The film is about racial and social tensions in Los Angeles, California. A self-described "passion piece" for Haggis, Crash was inspired by a real-life incident, in which his Porsche was carjacked outside a video store on Wilshire Boulevard in 1991.

Several characters' stories interweave during two days in Los Angeles: a black detective estranged from his mother; his criminal younger brother and gang associate; the white district attorney and his irritated, pampered wife; a racist white police officer who disgusts his more idealistic younger partner; an African American Hollywood director and his wife who must deal with the officer; a Persian-immigrant father who is wary of others; and a hard-working Hispanic family man, a locksmith. The film differs from many other films about racism in its rather impartial approach to the issue. Rather than separating the characters into victims and offenders, victims of racism are often shown to be prejudiced themselves in different contexts and situations. Also, racist remarks and actions are often shown to stem from ignorance and misconception rather than a malicious personality.

A gripping, intense, disturbing and unflinching look at social miscohesion in the City Of Angels. I highly recommend it.
