Okay so I didn't finish the last blog as I didn't finish writing about my week. On Sunday the 25th I went to go and see 'The Great Game' theatre festival at the Tricycle theatre which was 12 plays about Afghanistan. It was a fantastic festival with some great plays. One of the best was about the assassination of Massoud, the leader of the Northern Alliance. It also contained key testimonials from experts on Afghanistan and how the current situation can be improved. President Obama has set a deadline of July 2011 for troop withdrawal from Afghanistan but where will this leave the country?
So Monday I went out with the lovely Carly and we saw the BP Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery which was excellent. There were some fantastic portraits which show yet again that painting is not a dead medium in a digital age. Everyone should go and see it.
Then on a whim, we went to see big haired Nicholas Cage in Bad Lieutenant at the Prince Charles. It is probably one of the weirdest films I have seen but also excellent. It is a marmite film where you either love it or hate it. Nicholas Cage takes more drugs in the film than Withnail drinks. He also does not seem to drink or eat anything. He beats up an old woman but you still like him. A powerhouse performance which I recommend everyone to go and see.
Today has been the lazy day! We were going to have dirty chicken but we did not succumb. We are such strong people! Have at last posted the Lovefilm discs back which feels like a phenomenal achievement! They have been staring at me for 3-4 months but now I have watched them. One of them was the first episode of Cracker which was excellent-Robbie Coltrance is sublime! Watch it!
A great day where I have beaten the curse of Lovefilm discs-such a triumph!
