Gosh I have 28 virtual pints! That means I have implicit permission to get utterly slaughtered. And that the next round of virtual pints is on me...

I did get pretty drunk last night, actually, on half-price cocktails, which is good because if I'd drunk that much in beer I would have been weeping into it. But I didn't, so that's OK.

So, good things:

• My boiler is fixed! Callooh! Callay! Hot water and heat are mine - and all because I am so great and Did It
  
• I booked the dentist, too, even though I really didn't want to
  
• My desk is tidy for the weekend
  
• I watched A Zed and Two Noughts. It is indeed most odd. Me and sibelian agreed that any Peter Greenaway film would make a good Sapphire and Steel episode and vice versa - which saves us thinking up new ones of either...
  
• Nearly finished my chenille cardigan - only one arm to sew on now - gods I hate making up
  
• The Beltane blether meeting on Tuesday was actually quite good. I have some hope that things will come out of it
  
• Friday!
  
• Amsterdam! Soon!

I have made a list of films I can recall seeing on the big screen like ever in my entire life and it's still at under 70. So help me out, please and make me look less ad. If you can recall seeing a film with me please remind me about it. Any interesting memories you have of me relating to film would also be interesting - at least to me...

Watched Dark City last night, which was absolutely fab but spectacularly failed the Dykes To Watch Out For movie test. Have been wondering how many recent films pass it, and whether many of us have favourites which fail. I know Attack of the Clones passes, and all the Jurassic park films fail as far as I can recall, but do people have some other examples? And are arty movies worse offenders than blockbusters,or not (Warm Water Under a Red Bridge passes, but a lot of my other favourites don't).

The test is that the film must have
(1) at least two women characters
(2) who talk to each other in the course of the movie
(3) about something other than men.
