Hard to keep still

deathpixieI think I must have put my dancing feet on this morning by mistake. I've been bouncing around in my chair all morning, toes tapping, head bobbing, indulging in the occasional spin in my chair when no-one's watching (I hope)... I'm not interested in work on the best of days, but today I ought to be outside.
It's enough to make me quit my job and go off and pick fruit somewhere in Queensland. *grins*
Part of the fizzy feeling is probably X-Men related. Off to see the film tonight, which is looking better and better, especially after the SBS Movie Show gave it three and a half stars - from both David and Margaret. For them to a) agree, adn b) give more than 2 stars to something as blatantly Hollywood as X-2, well, it has to be something pretty cool.
Speaking of coolness, the Matrix sequels are premiering here on the 16th of May. And after seeing the trailer last night on the (part) episode of Buffy I taped, I'm excited all over again. After seeing the fight scenes, I don't really care if the script is no more than Dick and Jane quality, I'm still going to go see it. Possibly not the weekend it comes out, since Amanda will be here and there are Other Plans for that, but the weekend after, which actually doesn't have anything planned yet. Which, considering the state of my social calender for May, is pretty amazing. :) Busy birthday month for me! :)
The blood test went great last night - not even a bruise this morning, and the most painful moment was when I took the tape holding the cotton wool over the hole off last night. Ouch! The results will be through late Friday, so I must remember to call the doctor. Here's hoping it's not all in my head. ;)
Hmm, lessee, what else can I talk about to delay my having to do work... *grins* Hmm, movie fun, doctor's appointment... We're having a wine and beer night tomorrow night after work, which could either be a lot of fun or a lot of damage, or both. ;) And Saturday I'm getting a house call from my friendly local bike mechanic - BRM is dropping in on his way to his parents' place for the weekend. In return for a statutory declaration he needs for work, Cecil gets a service. Which is probably well-needed after some of the nasty bumps I've been hitting lately. Damn tram tracks near the corner of William and La Trobe Streets...
Okay, better do something useful now. Or at least get offline before I get a cautionary email. You lot all know my work email - distract a public servant today!
