Damn …
Did I mention I had an interview, a couple of days ago … ?
I had an interview, a couple of days ago: at a local taxi firm.
I’ve just got the email, back, today.
I’ve not got the job.
Apparently?
They’ve found someone with more experience.
Hmmm …
OK …
I’m not happy: especially considering that the dratted thing was extremely local.
Oh, well …
Onwards and upwards.
~≈Ÿ≈~
Onwards, and upwards, indeed.
Possibly.
Today … ?
Today, as you may have guessed, I’ve got the day off.
I’m writing here, for a start.
And a night off is something I usually spend in front of the TV.
I did tonight: thinking that I’d catch a movie, instead of more episodes of House of Cards.
Whether I’ve made a mistake, or not?
~≈Ÿ≈~
The film opens in a textiles warehouse: where the owner, Paul, is talking to his son, Martin, over the phone … and the last worker to clock off, Esther, has spotted something when she turns off the lights.
Meanwhile, Paul’s stepdaughter, Rebecca?
Is spending time with her boyfriend, Brad …
Only to be called by her brother’s school nurse. Martin is suffering with a lack of sleep: after his mother’s mental health issues re-surface.
It seems Sophie … has an a not-so-imaginary friend.
~≈Ÿ≈~
Now …
Good or bad?
Did I make the right decision, watching Lights Out, or should I have stuck with House of Cards.
Tough one.
I think I should have gone for House of Cards.
Which isn’t to say Lights Out is bad.
It’s nicely made, well shot, has some obvious, but effective, jump scares: and a twist ending that certainly surprised me, as it’s something I’ve not seen since watching Sonatine, many years ago.
It’s also a film that made a decision to have a quick — and not necessarily thorough — look at the mental health of one of its central character: which made it a relevant watch for World Mental Health Day.
So … ?
Yes, Lights Out is good.
I just think I should have watched more of Frank Underwood.
There we go, eh … ?
Lights Out

Post a Comment
I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
