I want glamour and showbiz, not a press conference!!

Well last night it was supposed to be the glam annual event that is the Golden Globe Awards but due to the Writer's Guild of America strike the usual awards ceremony did not take place and winners were announced at a low key press conference. The strike has been on since the 5th November and shows no sign of ending anytime soon, this does not bode well for the Oscars!!

I was very happy that the amazing "Atonement" won best film, it is truly exceptional and unlike any film i have seen before, other winners included Cate Blanchett, Daniel Day Lewis, Julie Christie and Johnny Depp. The Oscars are due to take place towards the end of next month and the golden globes are usually a good indicator as to who will be walking home with one of those gorge little gold men!!

This weekend has been pretty hectic but so much fun! On friday night there was a leaving do for a few guys at work upstairs at the Duke of Wellington gay pub in Soho, this place used to be a bit of a dive but they have had a refurb and it is really nice now, loads more space and toilets that dont make me dry wretch!!

Saturday was a lazy day, sorting my flat out and pottering around. I headed over to Oliver's late saturday afternoon for dinner and a catch up which was lovely, great food, lovely drink and a very good dvd to boot!! We watched "Prime" starring Uma Thurman and Meryl Streep, another reason to love it is Bryan Greenberg who plays Meryl's son - he is stunning and both myself and Oliver were letting out audible gasps everytime he was on screen, I shall be following his career very closely. We thought we were going to stay in but our desire for men and more drink got the better of us and we tried out a couple of local ish gay bars which was fun but i can't exactly remember much.

Yesterday i got home and quickly showered, changed and caffeined myself before meeting my friend Tom for sunday lunch, sadly the bar we wanted to go to for food had accidentally burnt their kitchen down so we had to hunt elsewhere, we ended up in the old queens head on essex road in Islington, fantastic lunch!! just what my poor body needed, then carried on drinking til the early evening before going seperate ways, I was supposed to be heading to the cinema with Paul but quick change of plan so headed over to his to watch a film called "Walk on Water".




A film about an Israeli mossad agent given a mission to track down and kill an ex nazi officer, part of his mission involves him be-friending the officer's grandchildren. It was a really interesing film mainly exploring one man's battle to accept his emotions, not usually the kind of film i would watch but i enjoyed it and it was a nice , chilled way to end the weekend.
