As I decided what to prepare for breakfast this morning, I was very pleased to note I had all the ingredients for a Turkish breakfast in the house: bread, olives, tomatoes, yoghurt and feta cheese! mmmmmmmmmmmm

Last night we watched 24 Hour Party People which is going to be a movie I have to watch 2 or 3 more times. It is the story of Tony Wilson and rise of the Manchester scene in the 80s and early 90s, with special stops at Joy Division, Happy Mondays, New Order and birth of Rave culture.

The movie is a beautiful celebration of anarchy and faith in human potential, even when that human potential is completely wasted in a heroin stupor. Michael Winterbottom and an amazing ensemble create a tightly controlled movie that feels entirely spontaneous and loose. Amazing photography and sound and a real understanding of what makes music great or sucky. Inspiring!!!

I love Steve Coogan.

In other news, I am working four days instead of three this week and it sucks and my body hurts. This will be a major exercise in "boo-hoo" for the majority of you who work five days a week and don't have time to LJ in between tasks.
