And the dimwit of the day award goes to......

Me.

So, usually I shut the dining room door to keep LB contained at night, but since it has been a bit rattley and annoying with the windows open, I left that one open last night, and just shut the laundry, bathroom and bedroom door instead.
However, I forgot one vital thing. Once my bedroom door is shut, you can't open it from inside.
Yup.
Woke up this morning to the sound of my bunny wreaking havoc in the bathroom. (Apparently I didn't shut that door too well). Went to tell her off and low and behold, I was trapped. Clever fairy.
Now, Mum has a spare set of keys, but she was at work and I couldn't contact her; I really didn't fancy ringing my landlady to come and rescue me; and I couldn't even crawl out the window because the security covers are locked and the keys are in the living room, and anyway, I still couldn't get back inside anyway, so after a little panicking, I grabbed a bobby pin and went to work. I could hardly believe it, but five minutes later I was free! Turns out the movies are right! You CAN use a hairpin to unlock doors! Although, it wasn't actually a lock, just a stuck latch thingee.
Anyway, I won't be doing that again!

One thing I do plan to keep doing is going up to Dorkland (no offense, Jaffas)! for ice skating practise. My darling Mummy came with me the other week, and after getting horrendously lost (thanks for the directions, Rob)! I found out that skating is not at all like riding a bike. I was truly awful. Tiny Asian children spinning around on one foot were sniggering at me. I used to be a great skater 11 years ago......
But, I am determined not to give up trying. It's too much fun. So, anyone else who is keen, let me know and we can go together.

Meanwhile I am so excited!
Last night after work, I went to see The Bucket List and squealed in my seat when the trailer for Mamma Mia! came on. (I was the only one in the cinema at that point, so I felt no shame)!
I haven't had a chance to see the stage show, and as most of you will know, I am the world's biggest ABBA fan, and the trailer looks absolutely fabulous! So much fun. Am thinking it may instantly knock Hairspray out of it's current #1 placing - the dvd of which I have nearly worn out after seeing it at the flicks 3 times!
It's an amazing cast too - Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Meryl Streep....
I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, The Bucket List was a great film. I reccommend you go see it. Very sad, quite funny and most inspirational.
I can't stand Jack Nicholson, so wasn't too thrilled about spending two hours watching him, but Morgan Freeman is just wonderful. I could listen just to him talking for hours. Amazing voice.
Got me thinking about my own Bucket List (that's a list of things you want to do before you kick the proverbial bucket, for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about).
However, right now, in the completely messed up, unhappy, depressed, emotional state I am in, all I can think of is, be loved in the way I have given love in the past, without it all turning into a lie.
Will give the list some proper thought though, and revisit it in a later entry.

So, tomorrow is the big day for the film industry. Happy Oscars everyone!

I'm working tomorrow, and will probably be doing Oscars stuff all day to help promote our films, so will update with the winners, and see how I did.....oh, and the rest of the staff of course. I hope Tu's come up with some decent prizes and not just crap from the cupboard!

Oh my goodness! I completely just had the most amazing idea, way too late.
I so should have persuaded all the Rialto-ites to glam up tomorrow! We even have some red carpet lying around...DAMN!

Ah well, next year.

Be warned!
