It must have been sunnier than I thought today - looked in the mirror and I have a bit of a red face (or maybe I'm embarassed about something but haven't realised it?).

I see American Beauty is on TV tonight. I still remember going to see that film at the cinema with the girl I was living with at the time and thinking to myself "That's me - stuck in a relationship that's dead". Stupidly, I didn't have the guts to do anything about it - it seemed simpler to just keep plodding on with life. In the end, she met someone else and I had to do some quick flat hunting. I still think of it as a lucky escape as I didn't realise how unhappy I was back then.
