Live and Let Die

Last night I was watching the 1973 movie Live and Let Die on TV. When three British secret agents are killed while monitoring the activities of the dictator of a small island in Caribbean, James Bond (played by Roger Moore) is assigned to investigate and finds himself up against a powerful gangster operating out of the island, who is utilising the local's beliefs in voodoo practices as a cover for his heroin operation. The film is relatively faithful to the original Ian Fleming novel, and has some pretty good elements in it (such as the speedboat chase) and a memorable theme song from Paul McCartney.

Later on I was watching a repeat of an episode of Peep Show, which was very funny. Then I listened to the final episode of The Woman in Black in which the ghostly Woman in Black take a final, shocking revenge upon the lawyer who discovers her secret, and the final episode of Ancient Sorceries, in which the clerk discovers the ancient evil dwelling beneath the sinister little town. They were both really good shows.

Today was my last day at work before my two week holiday! I am not sorry to see the back of the place for the next couple of weeks, I don't mind admitting. I was originally going to go out for some drinks with my friend Joe to celebrate, but he wasn't feeling well and had to leave work early, and so I got a six pack of bottles of beer on my way home and ordered a cheese, tomato, ground beef, green pepper and jalapeno pepper pizza so that was really good!
