I had a very nice Valentine's Day this year, except for the choice of movie. It was called Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. This is a weird hybrid of a disaster movie (an asteroid is heading for Earth and there is no way anyone will survive - good start, eh?) and a romantic comedy (two messed up folks, one with lots of regrets, the other with lots of issues, set out on a quest together in the face of impending doom). The acting is ok, though.
I was so depressed after all this that I had to watch a bit of David Tennant's Penguins: Spy in the Huddle - which is great, by the way; no penguins died in the bit I saw, which makes it my kind of documentary.
This did cheer me up.
Well, it cheered me up until Friday morning when I awoke to the news that a large asteroid was just about to narrowly miss my one and only home, planet Earth.
No more apocalyptic rom coms for me: it's all been a bit too close to home.
